'Nashville' Season 4 Spoilers: Juliette Returns
A fan favorite character will soon be returning to the fourth season of "Nashville."
It was reported that Juliette, played by Hayden Panettiere, will be back in an upcoming episode. Panattiere had been absent from the series after she checked herself into a rehab for postpartum depression.
With that, the executive producers of the series decided to incorporate Panattiere's experience at rehab to what is going on with her character. It was said that when Juliette returns to the series, she will still be in rehab.
Since she will still be spending time in rehab, Juliette will not be seeing her husband, Avery, played by Jonathan Jackson, for a while. With that, there are speculations that Avery could be receiving a new love interest in the episodes to come. There are reports stating that he will connect with a single mother, which could lead to a fruitful relationship. However, it was hinted that Juliette will find a way to prevent their relationship from progressing.
The executive producer of the series, Dee Johnson, recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about Juliette's return to the story. She stated, "She'll have been off the radar for a bit, but I think when she does come back, she's going to come back strong and repaired as much as one can repair. We'll try to find where she fits into the landscape. She is indomitable."
While there has yet to be any statement released regarding Panattiere's condition, fans can expect that the actress is already finished with her treatment and is ready to take on the small screen once again.
It was revealed that Panattiere will also make an appearance in the hit TV competition "Lip Sync Battle." She will be competing with Eva Longoria. In addition, it was stated that she will bring Christina Aguilera to perform "Lady Marmalade" in the upcoming competition.
"Nashville" season 4 is expected to return this March 16.
