Yesterday, it was announced that ABC did not ask two of Castle’s female leads to come back next season, if there is one. While Stana Katic and Tamala Jones will not be back, to me it looks like Molly Quinn will return for season 9. Why do I say that? Today she Tweeted, “It’ll be different, way way way different, but it is #Castle @NathanFillion IS Castle.”
So a little background, according to the rumors, Katic and Nathan Fillion did not get along. Us Weekly even claims that things got so bad, they went to couples counseling this season to work out their difference. Does not sound like it worked.
These rumors have been around for years and it looks like Quinn sided with her TV dad per her last Tweet on this matter. She did Tweet earlier, “Yesterday was a horrible day. Ya’ll’re right, I did work with @Stana_Katic and @tamalajones for 8 yrs. I love them. I’m heartbroken.”
I am reading too much between the lines because I have to admit I sided with Katic on the matter. Without Beckett keeping Castle in order, the show is seems out of control. Just let Castle do what he wants and that gets boring fast because he comes off as a buffoon. Without the police force backing him up, he does what he wants and that gets old fast.
When it comes to Quinn staying on, I find her just blah. Katic was one of the few leading ladies, teamed up with a male lead, who actually had some balls.
ABC, in my opinion, really screwed things up and the only way to rectify their mistake is to end the show this season That and the show has majorly declined creatively this season. It is barely watchable and yesterday’s episode was not even that.
Coincidentally, yesterday’s episode was called Backstabber. Talk about reading between the lines…
I should add Fillion Tweeted this statement, “Castle has been one of the greatest joys of my creative life, and I hope the show continues on for years to come. Stana has been my partner all this time, and I thank her for creating the character of Beckett, who will live on for all of us as one of the greatest police officers on television. I wish her well, and have no doubt she will succeed in everything she pursues. She will be missed.”
