Adapting to new cast members on the set can be quite tricky sometimes, but Lennon and Maisy could not express how thrilled they are to have Rachel Bilson join the Nashville gang.

Bilson signed on to play Alyssa Greene, a Silicon Valley marketing agent that becomes a part of the team at Highway 65 Records to steer the company back on track after losing Rayna Jaymes so suddenly. Although her character plays a bit of an outsider to the country music scene, Lennon and Maisy rave over how close they’ve gotten to Bilson and how much they adore her spirit since she tagged onto the crew.

“I love her! She is so awesome. Like, I just absolutely love her. I’ve had a ton of scenes with her in the past couple episodes of the fifth season and she’s so funny and so sweet. I cannot even say enough amazing things about her. Literally the furthest from a diva,” Lennon Stella revealed to People recently.

The girls, who play Maddie and Daphne respectively, also dished on their involvement with the music in the series, and how they’ve contributed some of their own songwriting material to move the storyline along for season five.

“It’s literally crazy. Honestly one of the first songs, actually the first song I ever co-wrote, they used in the show and it was so exciting,” Lennon Stella said.

Nashville airs on Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET on CMT.
