Susan Misner Cast as New Love Interest on Nashville

Susan Misner has booked a trip to Nashville.

The actress (Person of Interest, The Following, Blue Bloods) will debut later this season as a veterinarian, TV Line reports, catching the eye of a Deacon and sticking around for multiple episodes.

“For the first time, he’s interested in somebody who is very unlike Rayna and very unlike Juliette,” series creator Callie Khouri tells the site. “It’s the first time we see him with a person that you go, ‘Wow, so that’s what his life would be like if he wasn’t the guitar player to the stars.”

Nashville airs a new episode tonight. Return to TV Fanatic shortly after "Dear Brother" airs for our weekly recap and review.
