According to Christian Today, although they are back in each other’s arms already, the pair will keep the happy news of their reunion to themselves for quite a while.
Their colleagues will reportedly have no clue that the two have already settled their differences as they will act as if they are still an estranged couple in public.
This roleplay is apparently due to Kate’s wish that they separate their professional lives from their personal lives, but of course, at some point during the season, the truth about their real status will come out.
Another thing to look forward to when the “Castle” returns is the mystery behind Rick’s long disappearance and memory loss back in Season 7.
Showrunner Hawley finally addresses fan queries that they are going back to the time when Castle went missing to piece things together.
Alexi says that what they initially showed about what happened to Rick was not a sufficient explanation and that they are working hard to nail the story down.
This means that some episodes will see the famous mystery novelist remembering some things he actually came across during his missing time. Hawley adds that they will also address why his memory was wiped out and that it shall have something to do with his wife.
Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion both won PCA for their roles. The show itself did not. This is very telling. Showrunners….please do the math.
There are a great many fans who want this show to continue and would eagerly tune back in if they would just stop messing with the Kate-Castle relationship and allow it to evolve naturally. Every time they mess with their relationship, ratings drop. When there is even a hope of them getting together, ratings inrease. Even in my twisted corner of the universe, 2+2=4. Together…good. Separated…bad. Its not rocket science.
If the showrunners don’t know how to write exciting stories with them as a happily married couple, then the network needs to hire someone who can. This show still has a lot of life left in it. The PCA awards clearly demonstrate that the fan base is still there. The fact that the ratings are as so low can only mean one thing…there is something wrong with the story. With the extended hiatus, there has been plenty of time for the showrunners to fix things and boost the ratings, however, judging by the media releases I’ve read, it sounds as though the showrunners are stubbornly sticking to their ill-fated storyline. In the infamous words of John C. Maxwell…”A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them”.
Well said. The CASKETT chemistry, combining drama, comedy, and passionate partnership, is the show’s success! Let’s hope the decision makers use your comments, along with thousands of other fans, like a focus group, and change the storyline, or get new story tellers!
Agree totally. Latest news is that Gerald McRaney is going to appear in a short multi- episode story line where he is the head of a super secret PI organization. Makes you wonder if they are creating an “out” from their pathetic current situation or just trying to see how many story lines they can have going at the same time. The “out” could possibly be great to get both Castle and Beckett in the PI organization so that they can work together 24/7 without NYPD red tape and Beckett could forget the problems in keeping Castle away from the 12th.
