I finally watched last weeks. While Maddie certainly wasn't justified in sneaking out to play a club, Deacon and Rayna should take some of the blame, mainly Rayna. As far as I can tell since Rayna 'signed' Maddie and Daphne with her record label she has done zip with them. She completely ignores her children to chase after a girl who lied to her face. She spends ALL her time on her record label where she is one of the worst business people I've ever seen constantly picking troublesome talent just because they are convenient. She's thrilled Scarlett is opening for Autumn. Didn't she know that Autumn fired her last opening act? If Autumn behaves this way, shouldn't it be well known in the industry? Scarlett ended up in a treatment center after her first major tour. Rayna doesn't even question how Layla ended up on Luke's tour, the kind Scarlett couldn't handle. Layla is still in a vulnerable state and her music doesn't fit with Luke's. But hey, Layla landed somewhere so Rayna chalks it up to another success for her precious Highway 65.
And who doesn't question why an adult (Cash) who barely knows the family wants to spend all her time with their teenage daughter. It's creepy. I know that Maddie isn't going to confide in her mother about things but as a parent, Rayna should at least know where her child is and what she is doing.
I guess you could say I am not Rayna's number 1 fan. I like to see characters grow and learn from their mistakes. I think Juliette is doing that. She's going to backslide for sure but she is making progress.
They still need to get more music back into the show. It was more than half over before anybody sang anything last week. I still like watching this show but it definitely takes a back burner to a lot of other programming.

Ugh - this show is starting to get on my nerves. They should rename it BRATS! Could we have some new storylines that don't involve snotty teenagers???

This is about the only thing I agree with "And who doesn't question why an adult (Cash) who barely knows the family wants to spend all her time with their teenage daughter. It's creepy. I know that Maddie isn't going to confide in her mother about things but as a parent, Rayna should at least know where her child is and what she is doing." I love Rayna and my heart broke for her tonight. I feel like she's always tryng to do what's best for everyone and she's surrounded by impetuous, selfish brats--her husband, her kids, her takent. Who cares if she hasn't done much with her daughters' careers yet. She was reluctant to even let them sign. She finally did, as long as they work together. I don't think her intent was to get them some huge recording contract, but was just to give them a little taste. And the deal was that they work together. Maddie gas blown off her sister and not worked with her because she's too far up that skanky Cash's ass. And yes, that relationship IS creepy. What woman in her 20s wants to hang out with a teenager, and especially to be so possessive about that teenager. Something is NOT right there. Poor Avery. He doesn't know which way is up. What a horror this tour is going to be for him. And I'm actually enjoying Will. I liked his song, I like how he's coming into himself and i loved him trying to date, even if his gaydar is broken.

I loved the first season and the second season was pretty good, too. Now I don't look forward to seeing the show. Two weeks ago for some reason my DVR didn't record it. I had no desire to go and find it online to watch it. I hate what the writers have done with Maddie and even the younger one - I can't even think of her name because so much time is spent on Maddie being a brat. Those girls have mad singing talent and we've seen them sing maybe 2 times all season. Well, except for having Maddie sing songs that are supposed to make her look cool. They introduce too many characters. They need to stick with the main ones. How did Cash ever come into the picture? I didn't realize until tonight that she is the daughter of Deacon's partner. I'll finish out this season but I don't know that I'll watch another one.

Her daughters care. They love music. They are talented, particularly Daphne and they have been given no musical outlet except for Cash. Rayna should at least have Cash and Maddie writing music at her offices and ask to listen to a song now and then. She could find local places for her daughters to play once in awhile. They aren't getting even a little taste. She needs to remember that when she was a teenager herself she got no support from her parents and remember how that felt.

I agree with what lisae said. I liken it to a boy. The more and more you talk bad about the boy and forbid her from seeing the boy, the more she's going to sneak around to see him. Rayna is treating Maddie's singing like a bad boy. And this is how Maddie has evolved to this point. Is she acting like a spoiled brat? Yes. But I almost don't blame her for seeking any outlet she can to do one thing she loves. On a very basic level, I almost relate to her.
On another note, I've never been much of a Layla fan, but I've loved her songs she's been doing the last couple of weeks.

I've always kinda felt bad for Layla's character because she has such bad luck! But she can be a bad girl too.
She has an amazing voice. Her Christmas song that was on the Nashville album really highlights her talents.
The Stellas sisters are just incredible together. I enjoy hearing them too. Wish the would have them sing together more.
DH was mad at Deacon last night and said he's tired of him being so whiney. LOL
Will is one of my faves. I felt bad for him last night though when he asked that fellow on a date but the guy wasn't interested. He seemed to be cool about it though. I was cracking up when Will was talking ta Avery on the phone and said the guy liked "football and cars" so he couldn't be gay. Avery told him, "Will, you like those things and you're gay" Plus, I just love hearing him sing! I have Chris Carmack's EP with about 5 songs or so and it has been playing on my phone constantly for a while now.
Speaking of Avery ... WOW, the scene with him and Juliette whispering while Cadence was sleeping and the did the baby hand-off ... Talk about SPARKS! WOW!!!
One spec of bad acting came when Rayna started crying at Juliette's front door over Maddie. I believed her as she explained, "No everything's not OK" but then when she started crying?! It was weird and seemed fake ...
Love that Juliette will be going out on tour with the whole group! Glad Hayden is back. She really is awesome!!
Don't really care of the new chick that Scarlett and Gunnar are touring with. She seems like trouble. Felt bad that Scarlett saw him wipe the lipstick off his cheek as he was coming out of that gal's room after saying he has to stay with Scarlett.
No mention of the missing girl, Vita. Wonder if that's just faded off or if they'll pick that story back up ...

I turned it off last night - about 1/2 way in. I know it was recording. I may watch it later. I may not.
Probably not

I can't take Maddie's whining/attitude anymore. It's enough to get me to walk away, from the show, all together.

Seriously, who lets their 16 year old DD hang out with a much older woman?? Doesn't Maddie have friends her own age? Rayna has had no clue about Maddie for a couple of years, she's too invested in herself to care about her girls and now she will regret it. And why would Cash want to hang with Maddie? Maddie is a loose cannon because her mother isn't around.
Who names their girl child Cash??? Sorry, this story line rubs me wrong.
The music is always good. They need to play more of it.

I guess I'm the lone Rayna lover...lol. I still feel she has done nothing wrong with those girls and their musical talents. They both get private lessons, they both have performed multiple times in all kinds of venues and they both have recording contracts as a duo (Maddie is the one who decided not to work with her sister and take advantage of that). The world is full of talented girls who don't get anything near that. Rayna has seen what the industry does to girls who get into it very young, Juliette and Rayna herself are examples. As a mother she's trying to protect her girls and let them grow up first. As a mother myself, I get that and do not find fault with her. She has been wonderful to those girls and to have Maddie run off and get emancipated is ridiculous. That's what kids do when their parents abuse, neglect, or exploit them, not when they've been loved and cared for.
I think Maddie is a brat and I feel little sympathy for her. Cash is a weirdo and needs to latch on to someone her own age. I think Maddie will soon find out what it's like to not have someone who loves her looking out for her. Deacon though, I've lost my patience for that man and how he handles things.
I also thought that moment when Rayna broke down at Juliette's door felt very real. She'd been holding it together for so long, she just came in done a little.

This show has pretty much "jumped the shark" for me. I am definitely losing interest in watching due to the writing. The acting is okay and I do like the music but the storylines, not so much.

Hahhhhaaaa! This made me laugh out loud! Maddie and Cash haven't even been friends that long enough for Cash to be so possessive. DH said that Cash must have a crush on Maddie.
Deacon though, I've lost my patience for that man and how he handles things. Yes. Same story, different week!

I did really like the Riff Bell (sp?) story line ... Feel bad that the guy has issues, but that wasn't the storyline I was expecting for him after he flaunted his family life in front of Luke.

EXACTLY- Too much of these children and family drama is going to ruin this show. Along with the random minor characters that they introduce one week and forget the next. Get back to the music business!

What drove me crazy last night Was they were FREAKING OUT trying to replace Riff and you have Juliette standing RIGHT THERE in the stadium and don't ask her to perform that night?! Yes, I know, she ends up on the tour but only because SHE pursued it. No one thought to ask her when she was there at rehearsal and you were thinking you had to cancel the show?!

Oh, one more thing! When Gunner and Autumn were in her room and she was trying to convince him to go with her, did anyone else see her makeup? Right before she leans in to kiss his cheek, you see a close up of her from about boobs up with an open neck shirt. Her face was one color and her neck and décolletage were soooooooo different. Her neck was so pale, as she is, but her face was orange and about five shades darker. If the makeup people are going to do that, why not pull the color all the way down? It was so distracting.

Alicia Witt is beautiful, but I thought last week they haven't styled her very well. Something seems off about her clothing. Side note- can't believe she's already forty. I remember her as a child actress! Learned this tidbit when I googled to check spelling.
