He tells her that she's pregnant and at first she thinks the baby is Jeff's until an ultrasound proves she's further along, meaning Avery is the father.
She finally tells him via text message while he's doing community service. At first he's angry but after a chat with Emily agrees to have a role in the child's upbringing. However, he tells Juliette they're not getting back together. Avery grows a backbone, tells off his father, and Juliette admits she peeked, they're expecting a baby girl. When Sadie Stone asks him to produce her album, Juliette believes they're an item and stalks him at the city's winter music festival.
He later tells her off and she makes her peace with Sadie, telling her to work with Avery. Juliette later asks him to move in with her temporarily after the baby is born but he doesn't think it's a good idea. However, after a conversation with Sadie and a phone call to his mother, he visits Juliette and tells her he's unhappy with their arrangement.
Thinking he doesn't want to be a part of their baby's life, she's surprised when he proposes instead. She accepts and they marry in a small ceremony. After Juliette goes into labor and gives birth, her behavior rapidly changes and he has no choice but to leave Gunnar and Scarlett to continue on without him in the band.
He begins to suspect that Juliette may be suffering from postpartum depression since she is unable to bond with their daughter.
He leaves town when Juliette throws a glass object at him while holding their daughter. After Juliette fails to contact him, he eventually feels he has no option but to consider seeking a divorce which leaves Juliette on the brink of destruction, culminating in her attempting suicide only to be saved by Jeff Fordham, who dies instead. Juliette eventually enters rehab while Avery cares for their daughter. When she returns home, they remain on civil terms for the sake of their daughter.
However, both soon realize how much they care for each other. Juliette is unsure about where their relationship is at that particular time. They soon start wearing their wedding rings again. I actually did like how Avery and Alannah started to connect on the tour bus several episodes ago. The audience got a tease of a different side of Alannah, and Avery kind of brought that out. Rainee was great to work with.
You have gotten the opportunity as Avery to tug on the heartstrings, as a dad raising his little girl, Cadence, all by himself, with a the runaway mother who never shows up. How was the journey working with Hayden Panetierre? You two had to battle, bicker, fight, and had to play all these ups and downs together to make the story work over many seasons of Nashville. Often times, we would be doing a lot of intense and emotional scenes, but for whatever reason, we would find a way to have a lot of fun and find the humor when we are doing those.
I have a lot of love and respect for Hayden. I think she is incredibly talented. We both started off in soap operas Hayden was Lizzie on Guiding Light and thus had a certain approach to our work, and our work ethic. We would constantly share ideas back and forth between us. The thing about working on Nashville was the friendships we developed in the cast, especially going on tour with the cast and to experience all of that with everybody else.
What happened when you found out that this sixth and final season of Nashville would be its last? Did you have any idea that this was coming down the pike when you wrapped season 5? We did not know till right before everybody else that this was going to be the last season. We were in production maybe halfway through season 6. I think that it helped having that time to adjust, and it gave us some time for reflection.
We got to say our goodbyes. I can imagine that was heartbreaking. Do you recall your last day on the set? There were a lot of beautiful moments with people, and having so much love for the crew and so many amazing people that worked on the show. We wrapped on April 10th and then we flew to the U. Even though filming was over, we were on a plane and then on a bus together, which was really good for all of us. I know it was for me to have another ending.
In some ways, the end of the tour was even more emotional, because that really felt it was the end. Do you think there were more stories to tell on Nashville … or, do you think the series is going off the air when it should, as the stories can tend to get repetitive on any long-running series? Do you think this was the right time for Nashville to say goodbye? That is sort of the bittersweet reality of it.
It really did feel like the right time. What can you say tease about how Nashville concludes? The series finale airs on July JONATHAN: One of the hardest things about being in a long form series; whether it be in the primetime format, or the daytime format, is often times the lack of resolution that takes place.
You are pertually in Act 2 and in all the drama. So, knowing that the show was over, allowed the writers to approach everything from the perspective of the end, and Act 3. Certain storylines have resolution, and others are left open-ended. There is a good overall balance from the writers of what the audience is going to experience with the end of the show. I remember looking at some of your storylines and touching performances all over again that still hold up to this day.
Lucky is such a valuable character on the canvas. Would you consider going back to GH? I am definitely looking for other projects that have an Act 1, 2, and 3, that happen a little sooner than Nashville did. But, I am very committed and excited about what is happening with Enation , and excited about some other projects that are out there on the acting front. Still years later, when you think of all the stories you portrayed as Lucky, is there one, or two that stand out to you among the rest?
There were a lot of stories, and the writers wrote so much material, and that is a double-edged sword. They are going to keep expecting you to cry, and they will be throwing scripts like that to you every day! There are endless ones in my memory with Tony Geary. I remember having these scenes with Maurice Benard Sonny when scenes on the soaps were much longer. And of course, earlier on, with Genie Francis Laura as well. I asked so many questions to them as I really wanted to learn.
They really protected me in so many ways, and yet gave me the freedom to try to find my own way through a whole process as well. Those are the things that really jump out at me, as well as working through the scenes prior to filming, especially with Tony. He and I would go pretty deep with what we were trying to figure out; what the scenes were, and what they were about, and how to approach it.
That part of the process was really memorable to me. It was so multi-faceted. Have you stayed in touch with Tony? Again, when I left General Hospital , I did not know if anything like that would happen again in my career where I would form sort of long-lasting friendships with people.
So I was really grateful for Nashville, because I feel like we were able to have those long-lasting relationships. Meanwhile, your music career is very exciting of late. How was that experience? The last gig on that tour was at Royal Albert Hall. We are going to be touring in the United States later on this year.
Then, got to go around Ireland for a couple of weeks and drive around, and it was fun. Did you notice a difference between the European music fans of Nashville as opposed to those in the U.
Over there, the radio seems to play a lot different kinds of music. So, it was a pretty seamless transition for a lot of the people that came to the Nashville show. We see a slight difference in the music fan base, and it mainly has to do with that they may go to a country show one week, and a couple of weeks later go to a rock concert, and not think twice about the genre. Hard to believe we are turning the page on another great character played by Jonathan Jackson as Nashville heads towards its finale.
What would you like to say to the fans, the Nashies, who have loved, and have stuck with show every step of the way? CMT saw the enthusiasm and support from the fans here and internationally, and that was a huge part for us to be able to get the last few seasons. It has really meant a lot to us creatively to write that 3rd act, sort of speak, and have that sense of closure. I also would just say to the fans that have come out to the Nashville concerts as well, that it has meant so much.
We feel like we have had some beautiful moments with everybody, and so I am very grateful for that. So, what do you think will happen to Avery at the end of Nashville? Do you want him to end up with Juliette, Alannah, or by himself? Comment below! He is better off staying away from GH…doubt the would write for him anyway.. GH is becoming a whole new soap…may as well write out the entire Spencer family…once Lulu is gone like her or not FV will have room for even more newbies-new character refresh the soaps and are needed but this soap goes overboard and alienates many of us long time fans…i get you got to attract younger viewers to keep the show going for many more years but you dont anger the viewers you got at the moment-plenty of room to tell stories for all ages…Prediction if FV … Read more ».
I agree with you. I have been watching GH for 40 years. TBTB are not good to fans or vets. He is too talented. Excellent post, Jimh! You know i watch Coronation Street-a very successful British soap…it features characters of different age groups…yound, middle-aged and older…something for everyone-our soaps should be more like that.. Something like that.
