ABC hit drama Nashville returned last night with episode two of this young television season. It is abundantly clear after watching last night that their are new characters and new plot twists in store. Edgewood Records (the record label Rayna helped create) has a new owner, a character played by Oliver Hudson (you know, Kate Hudson’s brother). He is a perfectly lovely guy in real life, but on the show he is a class A jerk! He poaches Will away from Highway 65, the offshoot fledgling record label Rayna has created. Will and Scarlett were her first two artists, now she just has Scarlett. Scarlett has moved in with her uncle Deacon after the accident. Gunnar performs a beautiful ballad he wrote himself (without Scarlett) tapping into his inner thoughts and feeling about his outlaw brother’s death. I think Gunnar should be on Rayna’s radar for her next label addition. Avery accompanies Juliette back to her “roots”, a trailer park in Alabama. She is trying to drum up interest in her new album release. I cannot tell if a relationship is in the works between these two or not but he has no qualms about telling her what he thinks. Avery is Scarlett’s ex (ex #1, Gunnar is ex #2). Teddy has been very attentive to Rayna and the girls since the accident, clearly he is missing his family. Rayna tells him he needs to move out, as much as she appreciates all he has done, they need to move forward with their lives. It would appear Rayna will not be moving on with her life with Deacon, at least not for now. He feels he will never play guitar again due to his injured wrist, but we know that he will be sober and play guitar again, Scarlett will make sure of it. Maddie remains very angry at Rayna after finding out that Deacon is in fact her biological father. And, there is a new rival for Juliette, the latest hot, young singer who finished in second place in the current best of show in realty singing competition. Juliette is not happy but the new owner of Edgewood is very taken with her. So, did I leave anything out? Probably, but with all that drama, it is very hard to keep up with. Better on TV than in real life, right? Previews indicate Liam will return and play Rayna’s love interest after the accident, and she may have suffered some injuries to her vocal cords. So…until next Wednesday, breathe in and breathe out!
Meanwhile, in golf news…President’s Cup action got underway today in Ohio. Tiger Woods played along side Matt Kuchar and they were an excellent pairing…they even had their own secret handshake after a good shot, one that played homage to an oldie but goldie TV show..The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Too funny! USA finished up today’s play ahead, 3.5 to 2.5 over the internationals. However, it took a key par putt from Steve Stricker (paired with Jordan Spieth, the youngest with the oldest), on the 18th hole to seal the deal today. This was four ball play today, tomorrow will feature “foursomes”. Coverage resumes on Golf Channel tomorrow and then switches to NBC for the weekend. Let’s go USA…get ‘er done!
In NBA news, Kobe Bryant returned to practice yesterday in LA. Kobe is recovering form surgery for his torn achilles suffered just prior to the playoffs last season. Anyone betting Kobe won’t start the season for the Lakers?
