Thank you, everyone for an incredible journey. Stana was holding out to sign for season 8 because of pay issues. Pretty much a spinoff situation as I see it. Why would ABC do this? Stana makes the show, not taking away from the other actors. After their mismanagement and even abuse, they could not sell the show to anyone with numbers that would work. However, if JD Robbs In Death books ever make it to the screen, Stana has always been the the actress Ive visualized as Eve Dallas. Monday was the series finale All the people complaining no stana no show ruined it for the rest of us who were happy to keep watching WITH OR WITHOUT her! I still dont understand why would they announce this right now. The show could have had an amazing season 9 with Ryan and Esposito helping Castle, Hayley, and possibly even his mother solve PI cases! Beckett has been vital to the cast from the beginning. As much as I love this show and NF its never been just about him. She suspected that Castle was using his "research" as an excuse to pursue her, and because he liked the danger the job involved. While there were some close calls along the way, everyone makes it through unscathed and with a new outlook on life. The second show that I will stop watching because they killed off (figuratively or literally) the female lead. That didnt happen. If r. The show was cancelled. Share. You can think back to the terrible second seasons of a dozen shows through the years, and see who was added and how they ruined the showGranted, this is not a second season, but it WAS one of the most entertaining shows on the air, making it a choice project for an aspiring actress. You just have to look at what she has done outside castle to see despite having that platform to get jobs during the break she has struggled to get anything of note and she did nothing before Castle really. Ill sample something Stana Katic is part of in the future, but Ill sample plenty of other projects shes nowhere near. With the help of their allies, they ultimately unravel the mystery and bring justice to those responsible. I dont know how accurate the sources are but they claim the two just dont enjoy working together and thats why they have had so much episodal distance. Or is it better they try something new to see if they can get the fun and creativity in the cases back to the level of the early seasons? She was very one dimensional as far as a character goes. 6.11 "Under Fire": Esposito and Ryan are trapped in a burning building during an arson investigation, while Ryan's wife Jenny gives birth to their daughter. While the show is named Castle, for 8 seasons we have seen a partnership and love affair start half of this season has seen them separated (in a stupid way on her end) but for me, Id rather see the show be cancelled. It doesnt matter that no-one has been able to break the moonlighting curse which sees charachters becoming less interesting, less like themselves and having to have giant over the top roadblocks put in place to derail their relationship for a bit to create some drama. (Rewatch the final moments of the series finale, below.). I mean, their mentions must be WILD right now. And I love his interactions with all the other characters. There are other characters who developed over the years and Im sad to see them go just cause they didnt want Diva Stana Katic back. What would it mean for the central couple, Kate and Castle ( Nathan Fillion )? If she had made it crystal clear she wasnt interested past this year they were simply honoring her choice and making the best of what they were handed? . The two work together to make the show. Talk smart about TV! She had the essential star power to make the shows fantasy premise believable, and was the main actor that brought people back, week after week. First, they cancelled the soaps that millions loved, now they fire one of a COUPLE? Yes, the series was titled Castle, but how could it continue on without at least its female lead? ABC/Castle. People are not objecting to other shows that havent got Beckett or even to a true spin-off. Cop, out. Please yes. Their whole purpose is to have a chemistry with the lead and to ground the character somewhat. Castle as a TV show only really works for me if both Katic and Fillion are involved. I hope the writers realize the death of Kate Beckett will be the death of the show. He used to be so funny but ever since the non-wedding I think Beckett has made the show miserable. I agree! Why do you think she gets more fans in the Castle show than NF? In a statement on the situation, Katic said, Rather then distract from what was an amazing experience, I would just like to say that Im very grateful to ABC for giving me the opportunity to be a part of a much beloved show. Despite this secrecy, they agreed to hunt LokSat together, and Beckett moved back into the Castle apartment. Because they might say yes. This is just disgraceful! If they want to save money, Id suggest they cancel the show altogether. The episode ends with a flash forward showing Castle and Beckett happily married one year later. Why would they state that ABC did not ask her to come back? Cause of stana not him and lets be serious that burns his ass. 'Castle': Who Died in the Series Finale? The show was a hit because of both NF and SK. Just as Castle and Beckett are hoping to intercept a drop Caleb is doing for Loksat, things go awry: The man who pulls up to the scene isnt Caleb but a decoy. Nathan Fillion is great. She was barely seen season 8. She was always focused on the big bad her mothers killer, Loksec, there was almost no character development. The more I think about it, the less I am interested in a ninth season if it is without her. The season 8 writing was terrible. They missed the fact the show was a contrast of two personalities. Only time will tell. Im not watching beginning tonight. Series co-lead Stana Katic will not be a part of Castle Season 9, the victim of a cast shake-up that reportedly is designed to help cut costs for the aging procedural.. Sources confirm . For starters if your a season regular you get paid much more than a guest star. How did the Castle series finale end? It seems Claud and Rodney couldnt handle losing the talentless actress. ABC and the show runners are showing ZERO respect for loyal viewers. This is a direction that would be new and exciting. LMAO. She was completely unnecessary. Id rather they cancel it now than continue without her. Why not let her bow out gracefully and allow the Castle family to continue. :). WE ALL HAVE HAD TO WORK BESIDE SOMEONE WE WERENT CRAZY ABOUT BUT THAT IS LIFE. And oh I knew that they were showing less of Kate on the show and why. Thats right let stick a baby in her. No, she is not the show! Shes all about the job. The show should have ended after 5 seasons at best. . The character of Lanie Parish, played by Tamala Jones, also does not return in Season 8. Cant believe they did that to the hard-core fans! Does Beckett die in Castle? Wow! Yes the show is titled Castle, but they are already married, doesnt that make Beckett a Castle too? The whole point of the show is Becketts relationship with Castle. Im done too. Castle without Beckett is like Clark Kent without Lois Lane or Sherlock without Watson. ABC Following the cancellation of "Castle" in 2016, Us Weekly published a grim picture of the real-life working relationship between Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion. Thanks for the laugh. Castle has not yet been renewed for season 9, but if Beckett does die in the finale, that would certainly give the show a new avenue for storytelling Castle on the hunt for his wife's killer . Hers being serious and him being childish and funny. Well, I wont be watching season 9. Series co-lead Stana Katic will not be a part of Castle Season 9, the victim of a cast shake-up that reportedly is designed to help cut costs for the aging procedural. Show of handsWhos shocked????? If they killed the Lone Ranger on that show, there is no show. People act like she has been amazing, she is better than she was in season 1 but she is a limited actress, she is fine as that secondary more bland lead for the main lead to bounce off but like many actors/actresses in that kind of role we are unlikely to see her break out from that. Katherine Houghton Beckett [1] is a fictional character of the ABC crime series Castle. And dont worry too much, Im sure theyll work. It may fail but I cant think of any show thats ever lost the chemistry of its leads and turned it around but there have been examples of shows that have cut a lead when events have caused that loss of chemistry and have used the loss of that baggage to get a second wind, Could have all been prevented mind you by leaving the action of making them a couple something that would only happen in the final ever episodes. Are you dense? The Castle show was worth something, and had a loyal following customer base. Boycott ABC I am not watching any of their shows. Will need some new show to watch since Im done with Castle now. To achieve this goal, he orchestrated numerous events that led to Becketts promotion as Captain, framed Ryan and Espo for murder, created a fake terrorist threat in order to distract the police, and manipulated events behind the scenes in order to gain control of all the evidence relaed to the conspiracy.

Showrunners are supposed to be hired to produce the best show possible, its bad enough that network exec interfere with that (See Dollhouse as a perfect example of this where those first 5 episodes are much weaker and thats where the network was interfering, they let Whedon be Whedon after this point and the quality gets so much better) without them then having to also pander to the fans. He was a CIA analyst who worked with Senator William Bracken and Vulcan Simmons. Thats total nonsense. Yay!! They can not just RUIN a show.

This episode marks an important milestone for both Beckett and Castle as they begin their journey into parenthood. There were VERY few scenes with her and Castle. The ones where castle got to be goofy and make his own off the wall paranormal conclusions. Castle is one of my favorite shows, but without Beckett it wont be the same. You know why is successful? He has also worked as a radio reporter and holds a degree from Moody College of Communication. Cue the petitions by fans trying to get their own favorite show cancelled.
