286. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 02/24 **#11**
You can spin it or call it whatever you want, but there was no way on earth this A-/B+ list mostly television actress wanted to work with this B+ list mostly television actress any longer. No one does. The thing is though, the younger one tested better so if anyone was going to leave, it was going to be the older actress.
Show: "Nashville"
A-/B+ list actress: Connie Britton (character Rayna Jaymes died)
B+ list actress: Hayden Panettiere
