Richards, who has been seen on 'I Am Cait,' will play a physical therapist who will be helping one of the series regulars through some difficult challenges. It is rumored that the series regular she will be helping is Juliette Barnes (played by Hayden Panettiere). If you remember the horrific last moments of the series/season 4 finale, Juliette Barnes' plane went missing, hanging her fate in the balance. If you want to check out some of Jen Richards' work, you have to watch 'Her Story.' Richards is the star and the writer of the production. She also co-produced a docu-series called 'More Than T.' Nashville returns on Thursday January 5, 2017 at 9pm on CMT! I seriously cannot wait! Welcome to this amazing show, Jen Richards! <3

Photo Credit: YouTube Say it isn't so! Reports suggest that Connie Britton, who plays 'queen of country' Rayna James, is exiting the show after the upcoming 5th season. Several sources report that Britton is only appearing in 10 out of the 22 episodes in the upcoming season, which leads people to believe that her character may be written off the show. Britton did suggest that she may be leaving the show after the 5th season, according to Hello Giggles. A source close to 'Nashville,' however, state that negotiations are still ongoing. Earlier this week, we learned that season 5 of 'Nashville' will premiere on Thursday, January 5 at 9pm on CMT. Some good news on the horizon: Hayden Panettiere, who plays Juliette Barnes, has signed on to appear in all 22 episodes of season 5. The same goes for Chris Carmack, Maisy and Lennon Stella, Clare Bowen, Jonathan Jackson, Charles Esten, and Sam Palladio. As we all know, Will Chase and Aubrey Peeples will n...

Photo Credit: metrouk Looks like we may be seeing more of Rayna James and Juliette Barnes! According to Variety, Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere are at the "very last stages" of their negotiations. Sources close to the actresses say that it is a "done deal." Guess what, ya'll? They are not alone! Chris Carmack, Jonathan Jackson, Charles Esten, Sam Palladio, Clare Bowen, Maisy Stella, and Lennon Stella are set to return as well! We are learning that the fifth season of our beloved 'Nashville' will be a full, 22-episode season. Earlier this month, we learned that Aubrey Peeples and Will Chase had exited the show. It is possible that we may see Luke Wheeler and Layla Grant in a few guest appearances in the future. When we last say our favorite TV characters, we were left shocked when Juliette Barnes' plane went missing. With Hayden Panetierre poised to come back to 'Nashville,' perhaps this means that Juliette Barnes is alive and ...

Photo Credit: vulture Fans rejoiced when CMT picked up hit TV show 'Nashville' for a fifth season. Yesterday, news broke that the show will be without two series regulars. It is being reported that Aubrey Peeples and Will Chase have departed the show. The last time we saw Will Chase (Luke Wheeler), he had just helped client Will Lexington fight against homophobia. We also saw him reconnect with his son and ex-wife. Any loose ends that we had with Luke Wheeler were tied up. The last time we saw Aubrey Peeples (Layla), she had just been exposed for lying to Avery in order to keep Avery and Juliette apart. All of this stems from the loss she suffered when Jeff Fordham died trying to save Juliette Barnes. Layla decided to get revenge on Juliette Barnes by stealing Avery away from her, making him fall for her. After Avery found out the truth, he told her off. We saw Layla exposed as the horrible villain that she is. The departures of Will Chase and Aubrey Peeples would ha...

Photo Credit: WBALTV The winner for the "Best News Ever" award goes to: 'Nashville being saved by CMT!' After weeks of negotiations, CMT and the makers of 'Nashville' reached a decision on Thursday to bring back the beloved show. The city of Nashville, and the rest of Tennessee, saw that the show could bring more jobs and tourists into Nashville, and they couldn't help but jump at the chance to resurrect the show. As of right now, the entire 'Nashville' cast is expected to return. The only change about the show is that it will have a new creative team. My Two Cents You all know I'm a HUGE fan of the show, so you can imagine the dance of joy I did when I read the news. I've actually been re-watching the entire series over this past week. I cannot wait for season 5 to premiere. Thank you, CMT!! #viewerforlife

Photo Credit: stylecaster We were all left devastated by the cancellation of 'Nashville,' even more so when the series finale ended on a very cruel cliffhanger. Since the finale aired, the show's execs and creators have been looking for another network to save the show. After several TV networks have expressed interest, one network has shown incredible promise: CMT . CMT, or Country Music Television, has studied the numbers that 'Nashville' pulled in on major network station ABC, and they have realized that the show could be a HUGE winner for the network. While it is already a strong channel for those in the country music demographic, saving 'Nashville' could bring in a wealth of new viewers. The cast is still under "long-term deals" with Lionsgate. Since the show hasn't officially been renewed by CMT, the list of returning cast members has not been released. So, don't put dirt on 'Nashville's' grave just yet. Come hel...

Photo Credit: fashionnstyle On May 25, 'Nashville' fans were outraged when the series ended with a cliffhanger. Juliette's fate hung in the balance during the last minute of the finale. While they did have an alternate (and happier) ending to air, they chose to air that cliffhanger. Lionsgate is confident that the show will be picked up by another network. It looks like that confidence may be paying off. Producers of the show have revealed that several networks have shown an interest in rescuing the fan favorite. The cast of 'Nashville,' and their fans have campaigned and petitioned for 'Nashville' to come back. One petition on Change.org has well over 150,000 supporters, all within the last few weeks. Lionsgate execs spoke to reporters last week: "The fans and everyone else is clamoring for many more seasons. These kinds of shows can go forever and ever — obviously that’s our hope and expectation, but we’ve got to do it one season at a time...

Photo Credit: ABC10(dot)com 'Nashville' fans were stunned earlier this month when the show was cancelled by ABC execs. Stars of the show joined forces with fans in order to #BringNashvilleBack. As of right now the show hasn't been picked up by another network, which makes last night's series finale extremely infuriating. Usually in series finales, shows are able to tie up loose ends, and end the series with a sense of closure. In 'Nashville's' case, the series finale ended on a cliffhanger. Before I get into what happened, let's talk about the meat of the episode . We watched Will and Luke band together against conservative homophobes, and demand to be heard. Will made a great argument as he put his biggest nemesis in her place. Will's story ended with him reuniting with his ex Kevin. When it comes to Scarlett and Gunnar, these two were at each other's throats for most of the episode, due to the fact that Scarlett finally declared her lo...
