Castle: Discussion Thread

[Juliajms]

Castle, starring Nathan Fillion as a mystery novelist who assists a female NYPD detective (Stana Katic), will air Mondays at 10 pm, starting March 9.

I love Nathan Fillion, but I feel this type of show has been done to death. Sometimes I think original programming can only make it on cable.

I love Nathan Fillion too but this show sucked. I thought everything was so forced and there is no chemistry between Fillion and the female cop. The writing seemed to be aimed at a grade 7 audience, think this, think that, here's a clue, it points here.

Considering how dumb it is, it will probably last for years since smart shows don't last very long on network tv.

I loved the second episode.

"I used one of the plots from One Life to Live for my novel."

This show coudl be called 'spot the soap star'

Nathan Fillion - OLTL
Seamus Dever - GH

Jason Brooks - DAYS (guest star)
Michael Graziadei - Y&R (guest star)

[CassieFan]

LOL definitely.

I love the show. It's funny and whacky. I hope it gets a season renewal.

[CassieFan]

Great Halloween episode. Nobody watching this show? I love it.

[Sylph]

Renewed for a third season.

[CassieFan]

And I'm so happy about it. Great show.

Anyone enjoying Jealous Castle besides me? Nathan is playing it up just perfectly.

It was nice to see William R. Moses again. He was so gorgeous on Falcon Crest, and he has aged well, he doesn't look plastic, he's obviously not the same as he was, but he still looks trim and handsome.

Loved the season premiere!

[Scotty]

Loved the season premiere!

Me too!

[Becki]

Me three!

I also got my Season 2 DVD's in the mail today! I had them pre-ordered weeks ago on Amazon.

[OLTL_fan]

Eden Riegel & Victor Webster guest star tonight.

Luckily I think Eden was only in one scene, that I recall.

I've enjoyed this season so far. Looks like Beckett has a new boyfriend.

[OLTL_fan]

Renewed for a 4th season.

[Laurie]

Thought last night's episode was awesome. Stana did such a great job and the guys did such an awesome job supporting her.

Loved the kiss but honestly-if they didn't kiss, I would still love the episode. The Rick and Kate scenes were so good

Exclusive: Castle Lathers Up With a Soap Star-Studded Murder Mystery


Quick, someone tell all my children to alert General Hospital, because ABC’s Castle is plotting a super-soapy wink-wink to Nathan Fillion’s daytime roots by slaying a daytime-TV scribe.

In an episode titled — wait for it — “One Life to Lose,” Beckett and Castle will delve into the murder of a soap opera scribe, TVLine has learned exclusively. As they work the case, watch for multiple stars from ABC’s own sudsers to make appearances (though probably not as themselves but fictional thespians).

What’s more, I am told that longtime fans of Fillion’s former daytime digs, One Life To Live, can expect at least one nod to his run as good boy Joey Buchanan.

Fillion has never shied away from his OLTL origins. In fact, he reprised his role of Joey for two episodes in 2007, and during his time on Castle has gone out of his way to court past/present daytimers to guest-star. To date, those soapy stop-overs have included A Martinez (ex-Cruz, Santa Barbara), Sarah Joy Brown (Agnes, The Bold and the Beautiful), Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki, The Young and the Restless) and Rick Hearst (Whip, B & B.)

Similarly, Castle‘s Seamus Dever (who plays Kevin Ryan) boasts daytime cred, having played General Hospital‘s Dr. Ian Devlin for a stretch in 2008.

Fillion also is always game to plant “Easter eggs” for viewers, such as when he hid a prop from his short-lived Firefly series in one of last season’s scenes.

Castle‘s soap star-studded mystery is tentatively set to air March 21. Which of ABC Daytime’s finest — from OLTL, GH or AMC — would you like to see get mixed up in the mayhem? And how do you think the primetime drama will allude to Nathan’s time in Llanview?
