Hayden Panettiere: Mother of 'Nashville' Character Juliette Barnes Is Worst Nightmare, Actress Reveals Details

Hayden Panettiere's character Juliette Barnes is in a heap of trouble on ABC's hit show, "Nashville."  Barnes squeaky clean image may be tarnished after she takes in her drug-addicted mother who was caught stealing nail polish.

According to Hollywood reporter, while Barnes tries to run from her past, she eventually finds the need to confront her buried memories, "This is her absolute worst nightmare come true. One reason why she behaves the way she behaves is because she's running from such a wounding past that this life and her success is her escape," Panettiere said. 

When all hell breaks loose for the country singer, she doesn't panic and instead embraces it strategically. Panettiere opened up about her character to Hollywoodreporter saying, "Juliette brushes it off like it's no big deal and she sabotages herself along the way before she finally gets it right. The world loves to forgive and they love a recovery success story like that but Juliette crashes and burns along the way. She's her own biggest enemy."
