There have been speculations going around that Rick and Kate may eventually consider having a baby following their reunion as some fans saw a conception imagery during the couple’s love scene in episode 7.
But showrunners Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter say that there are no plans for a baby for ‘Caskett.’ The two, however, admitted that the issue was discussed at the start of Season 8, but they have not thought about it thus far.
Seeing Beckett pregnant will be a deviation from her character which they describe as boots on the ground, kicking ass, and taking names. Although they admit that the plot is not off the table, but they are still thinking if it would be helpful to the show’s storytelling moving forward.
The two series creators are obviously worried about further experimenting with the TV series after they decided to split Rick and Kate during the second episode of Season 8 of the show that resulted to the backlash of fans getting turned off from the TV series and abandoning it.
However, the recent pronouncement of Alexi Hawley seems to indicate that they are at it again in as far as experimenting with the plotlines of the TV series. It seems precarious at this point since “Castle” is still at a stage where it is working to win back its disenfranchised viewers.
I know that the show runners consider that the story line of Castle’s disappearance is still open and needs closure but I do not. The story line is still open because it was dead on arrival. The disappearance was supposed to be of primary importance but lack of attention and continuance caused the fans to become bored and disinterested (or at least I did). I finally forgot about it and would need a summary of what it was all about (about two or three sentences should suffice considering the lack of activity).
The Castle “missing” storyline was ill conceived, planned and executed. It really died in birth but no one wanted to admit it. Instead it was essentially ignored for months and even years. So long, in fact, that most fans will probably have to have a summary to get caught up with things. As far as I am concerned it is a dead issue because I do not believe that you can make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
I have noticed that they are playing around again with the plot lines , I guess they haven’t learned their lessons . I was an avid fan now I only DVR it so I can get by the lame story lines and see how much time they actually spend together on screen (NOT MUCH) i GUESS THEY REALLY DON’T CARE ABOUT THE FANDOM.
Regarding not nailing down the story on addressing the disappearance. Perhaps it is a good thing for them to get feedback from the fans before proceeding with “nailing it down” (if they do listen to the fans they would just forget the whole thing). Regarding anything about Beckett, she either had her greatest acting job in her career to not give away any involvement or it was something she did that she has forgotten or gave it no importance (like her first wedding). Keep the fans happy – there is no reason to involve Beckett so do not do it. If they involve Beckett it is a no-win situation and they should know this by now.
Cneale, it appears that the writers are totally in the dark as to how to move LokSat along so in 4 months they have done nothing. Castle’s disappearance began in 6×23 and it is now 8×08+ with essentially no movement forward on his disappearance. As usual the show runners and writers are now going to go backward to revive the disappearance dog to use up air time foolishly until they can get some help from somebody that knows how to move a story along. The current Castle writer must all hav writer’s block.
The things that will do is give her more air time and him less.Some of things I have read and believe is she personaly does not like him,and they would spent less time together on set.When you see tgether less. less time in the loft, He can’t come into the 12th. My opion is she looking to be the lead person on the show. when you read a lot of these comments you start to get a different view of how Kate really feels.Remember before she sign a one year contract, She said she had a long talk with the show runners and felt her role in the was safe. so now the is about her and the of the cast has figth for time. just my opin
