The news of Stana Katic’s dismissal hit the istana, castle fandom hard this week. It is no secret to anyone that the tunjuk has been struggling for the past couple of years — lebih so after creator Andrew Marlowe left his post as showrunner...

“Stana has been my partner all this time, and I thank her for creating the character of Beckett,” // “I wish her well, and have no doubt she will succeed in everything she pursues. She will be missed.”

It is the main part of a major shakeup on the series, which also includes the departure of fellow original cast member Tamala Jones. Fillion has been in negotiations to return to Castle, which I hear is eyeing a shortened, likely 13-episode.

“There’s stuff up in the air, so we are trying to leave it in a very dynamic way which leaves open the possibility that maybe the tunjuk won’t come back in the same form seterusnya season — although, again, we really hope that it does.”

Staite will appear in Episode 20, titled “Much Ado About Murder” and airing May 2, as the director of a Shakespearean Broadway staging whose movie-star lead turns up dead.

“Death Wish” – The murder of a man connected to smuggling Turkish relics sends Castle, Beckett and the 12th Precinct on a cari for a stolen antique believed to be Aladdin’s lamp, in hopes that it can lead them to the killer.

The hour's opening scene featured Rick and Kate chatting over their morning coffee when Martha burst in unannounced to tunjuk her son an advance copy of the book she was in the process of publishing.

“Fidelis Ad Mortem” – When a recruit officer at the NYPD Academy is killed, Beckett and the team go back to their old training ground to investigate.

Hayley was much lebih prominent in this episode than I expected. She left Rick in the dust on the multiple occasions she came up with a quick-fire solution to a problem staring them in the face.
