If you are a regular reader of We Love Soaps, it is probably clear how much we have been anticipating the new ABC primetime soap opera NASHVILLE.   Back in February, we called it one of the most Promising Fall Pilots in one of our Year of the Soap features.  In May after reading the script, we called it The Most Promising New Soap Of 2012.   In the Sunday edition of the Star-Tribune, we couldn't help calling the show one of Four more reasons to cheer for soaps, and raving about Connie Britton (who was absolutely brilliant in FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS).  NASHVILLE is set to premiere on ABC on Wednesday, October 10 at 10 p.m. ET/PT but you don't have to wait if you want to watch!  ABC has posted the entire first episode online. 

In "Pilot," Rayna learns that her record label wants her to tour as the opening act for newcomer Juliette Barnes, and when she refuses, the stage is set for the ultimate power struggle for popularity. Complicating matters, Lamar's drive for power results in backing Teddy in a run for Mayor of Nashville, against Rayna's wishes.

Watch it below and let me know if you love it as much as we do.
