Nashville hasn’t gotten cancelled yet?
I’m assuming u don’t like the show?
Deacon has a bigger and better storyline than Connie Britons Rayna.
When does Baby Daddy come back?
I hope they make him look better here than they did on True Blood. I know it fit his character, but it was a darned shame how sleazy he looked on TB – a real waste of eye candy. :)
Agreed! He looked better on Dexter, but was still playing an incarcerated murderer. Sure he’ll be looking much hotter in this role! :)
