Who is Emily, Anyway?
There are actually two Emilys in the world of Nashville, folks. Let's clear the confusion:
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
- Emily, Juliette Barnes' Assistant: This Emily was a fleeting presence in Season 2. Briefly, she became Avery Barkley's babysitter while he wrestled with his Juliette feels. But fear not, shippers! This Emily's role wasn't romantic, just childcare with a side of emotional support for Avery.
- The Emily That Haunts Our Dreams (or lack thereof): This Emily never actually appeared on screen. However, there were hints (or should we say, teases?) from the showrunners about a potential romance between her and Avery.
The Avery-Emily Fairytale That Never Was
According to whispers and interviews, Emily was supposed to be a love interest for Avery after his whole Juliette fiasco. We're talking a down-to-earth girl, a breath of fresh air compared to the music biz drama. Imagine cozy coffee dates and meaningful conversations instead of paparazzi chases and awards show meltdowns. Sounds delightful, right?
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
So Why Didn't Emily Happen?
Well, this is where things get murky. The showrunners have given a few reasons:
 |
- Scheduling Conflicts: Apparently, the actress who would have played Emily had scheduling issues that couldn't be worked out. Talk about a cruel twist of fate!
- Changing Direction: The writers decided to take Avery's character in a different direction. This could be anything from focusing on his songwriting to exploring other love interests (looking at you, Layla!).
Tip: Break it down — section by section.

While Emily never graced our screens, her absence sparked endless "what if?" scenarios. Would she have been Avery's happily ever after? Would they have written angsty breakup songs together? The world may never know.
