(At least, much less than it did previously.) The world was made incredibly dimmer without her in it, and the loss of Rayna made the show take much too big of a turn, where it slowly drowned in the dull darkness. Hell, the show focused less on the music and the music business after Rayna died, too. It became a show about several people trying to live life in the music capitol of the world. What was the point in the journey with Rayna dead shortly thereafter? Didn’t Deacon and Rayna write enough sad country songs about heartache and loss? After Rayna was gone, Nashville lost its heart and soul. This is most notable in the final season when most of Juliette’s character development over the course of the show is wiped away and she joins a cult temporarily.Ī case could be made for the reality of death and how it can come at the most unexpected times, but isn’t there enough heartbreak in the world already? So much of the journey throughout the first four seasons of Nashville was about Rayna and Deacon finally being able to embrace and feel their love for one another, to finally be able to support one another in the way they both needed but weren’t capable of way back when. It was clear the writers had little idea of what to do with her without their other big star, and Juliette had very little (if any) connection to the remaining characters, except her off-and-on-again husband Avery ( Jonathan Jackson).

As for Rayna and Deacon, they had just officially tied the knot, finally in the right place individually to make their relationship work. Maddie was just getting to know Deacon as her biological father, after learning the secret relatively close to the time of Rayna’s death. Daphne had already lost her biological father, as Teddy ( Eric Close) had been written off of the show, only returning right after Rayna’s death to briefly fight for guardianship before giving up to Deacon. Rayna’s death left her family to pick up the pieces… when it felt like they had just finished picking up the pieces to come together as an unusual kind of family after Rayna and Deacon’s decades-long, complicated love affair. Rayna’s juggling being a mom to her daughters Maddie ( Lennon Stella) and Daphne ( Maisy Stella), a wife to Deacon, and a leader in the country music business is what Nashville was about, which is why it fell apart after she was killed off. Everyone else - from Deacon ( Charles Esten) to Will ( Chris Carmack) - were simply supporting characters whose individual storylines held no weight in comparison to the two leading ladies (unless said ladies were involved in some capacity). Close, but not quite on her level, would have been Juliette ( Hayden Panetierre), who was often an antagonist in Rayna’s story. For the first four and a half seasons of Nashville, Rayna was undeniably the star.
