They believe that as the central figure of the storyline in “Nashville,” Connie Britton as Rayna James is just indispensable in the TV series.
However, some are saying that fans should just brace themselves for whatever shall happen to Rayna James in the upcoming fifth season of “Nashville.”
Critics are also saying that showrunners Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick, are known for killing their viewers softly and likes to see the audience bathing in tears so it would not be surprising if they suddenly decide to pull the trigger and kill off the character of Rayna James in “Nashville” Season 5.
Some are also saying that Connie Britton might take the same path that actress Hayden Panettiere took in “Nashville” back in Season 4.
She will still be part of the show abut she is not necessarily seen for most of the episodes. It can be recalled that the young actress took an extended leave from “Nashville” due to postpartum depression.
With Rayna James out of the limelight, some critics and fans are saying that Panettiere is more than capable of keeping the show together. It shall also open up possible new storylines to the show which could actually do well for the show eventually.
