As Rimes noted, “Playing Dixie on 911 Nashville is drama enough for me.”

Meanwhile, Sophia Bush had a similar response when current cast member Bozoma Saint John playfully invited the One Tree Hill alum to join the cast last year.

“I don’t mean this to be judgy,” Bush confessed during the Create & Cultivate festival in July 2025. “Genuinely, I was like, ‘Isn’t that the show where all the women yell at each other?'”

However, the actress applauded Bozoma’s addition to the show, adding, “Boz is not a yeller. She is a cheerleader. She is a teammate. I don’t think I get it. So, then I decided to tune in to watch you, and I was like, ‘Oh, she’s changing the vibe of a whole industry.'”
