Hayden Panettiere<\/strong> and Connie Britton<\/strong> had a legendary stint together on Nashville<\/strong> despite their characters getting off to a bad start in the pilot episode. This built up a dynamic that lasted throughout the subsequent seasons and gave the show its appeal. Panettiere recently discussed the beginning of the series and how she \u201ckept apologizing\u201d to Britton after their first encounter.<\/p>\n Hayden Panettiere, who is much younger than Connie Britton, recalled her first encounter on the set of Nashville with Britton in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. \u201cI remember the first scene that I ever did with her. It was in [Nashville\u2019s Ryman Auditorium], the backstage of the Ryman, and Rayna comes in and says something nice to me, and I am just so passive-aggressive to her.\u201d<\/p>\n She recalled how she \u201ckept apologizing\u201d after this rather friction-filled encounter. \u201c[I] kept apologizing to her, going, \u2018I am so sorry!\u2019 Because that was our first experience together, and I didn\u2019t want to step on toes. Sometimes it gets real, very real, you know?\u2019 Panettiere told the outlet.<\/p>\n Throughout the show, there was massive tension between the established country musician Rayna, played by Britton, and Panettiere\u2019s up-and-coming pop star Juliette. The show lasted six seasons and garnered critical acclaim. It currently has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was difficult to play that sometimes, that competitiveness, where we were in opposition and against each other,\u201d Panettiere said about their dynamic, \u201cAnd it\u2019s not what we thought it was going to be, so it was very difficult to step in.\u201d<\/p>\n However, she credited Britton for being supportive. \u201cConnie is just a class act. She is so smart and so wise, and just being able to be on screen with her, I was honored. I think we kept each other grounded throughout the whole thing.\u201d<\/p>\n Originally reported by Sourav Chakraborty on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Hayden Panettiere Apologized to Connie Britton After First Nashville Scene Together: Here\u2019s Why<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton had a legendary stint together on Nashville despite their characters getting off to a bad start in the pilot episode.
