Who Is Gunnar’s Girlfriend Erin On ‘Nashville’?

On the Nashville episode “Unguarded Moments,” while Luke (Will Chase) tries to fix his relationship with Cole, Gunnar’s (Sam Palladio) new girlfriend Erin rubs Gunnar’s ex-girlfriend Scarlett (Clare Bowen) the wrong way — even though Scarlett has supposedly moved on. Gunnar and Erin recently met backstage at a Juliette Barnes concert – they’re both sound engineers with ambitions to make their own music – but already Scarlett is making it clear that she doesn’t like the free-spirited Erin.

Erin is portrayed by Scout Taylor-Compton. She’s best known for her role on Gilmore Girls (Dean’s little sister, Clara Forester), as Laurie Strode in the Halloween movies Evil Has a Destiny, Family Is Forever, and as real-life rocker Lita Ford in The Runaways. Nashville airs Wednesdays at 10pm on ABC.
