"Nashville's" Chaley Rose to Return

"Nashville" is bringing back Chaley Rose‘s Zoe in Season 4. Dare we hope for a ZAG Band reunion?!

Probably not, given that EW.com reports that Scarlett’s bestie — and Gunnar’s ex — will be back in town because of a “tragedy.”



Rose is slated for at least one episode in the upcoming season, showrunner Dee Johnson tells the site, though perhaps an interaction with Gunnar will cause her to extend her stay in Music City?

Zoe departed "Nashville" last season after relationship problems with then-boyfriend Gunnar made her realize she had nothing to lose by taking off for Los Angeles. Turns out, she was leaving without his love.
