For the first four and a half seasons ofNashville, Rayna was undeniably the star.
Then, their world is shattered.
After Rayna passed away, Juliettes star power was incredibly diminished.
Without Rayna, the show didnt know what to do with Juliette either.
What was the point in the journey with Rayna dead shortly thereafter?
Didnt Deacon and Rayna write enough sad country songs about heartache and loss?
After Rayna was gone,Nashvillelost its heart and soul.
It became a show about several people trying to live life in the music capitol of the world.
Hell, the show focused less on the music and the music business after Rayna died, too.
(At least, much less than it did previously.)
It was no longer theNashvillefans had fought so hard to save upon its cancellation.
While Season 5 was exciting at first, Raynas death destroyed everything.
Rayna Jaymes never should have died.
