Ugh.

I'm surprised those two weren't selected for the Hot in Cleveland crossover as well.

Apparently it's the soap opera's headwriter who is murdered.

Special Guest Star Megan McTavish.

Well since it's titled "One Life to Lose" it's fitting that they chose the 2 biggest losers on AMC.

[dragonflies]

Yeah makes NO sense to choose someone from AMC instead of the soap Nathan came from

Of course Frons' pets get the gig, not surprised at all

[quartermainefan]

I knew this whole project sounded familiar

Did anyone see this? I remember it being on but not being motivated enough to watch.

oh here is the a better way to recall this movie

Castle tapes in LA so I'm not that surprised they didn't go with OLTL peeps but I'll always hope for Strasser to get a guest gig.

Did anybody think Frons wouldn't choose Budig/Mathison? I'm just surprised he didn't manage to shove Vanessa Marcil in there too.

[dragonflies]

I'm sure whomever from OLTL could have flown out there. We're lucky Frons didn't chose SBu, MB and LW

Supposedly Jane Seymour is in this too

WHOAH...Castle tapes in L.A.? Do they shoot all the exterior stuff on a lot or do they fly out to New York?

[marceline]

Apparently they shoot it on a lot. They did shoot some of S1 on location but the bulk of shooting for this season has been in LA. I like the show but I DESPISE that they're set in NYC but don't shoot there.

[bellcurve]

Yeah, that's crap.

I saw something years ago where NYPD Blue does interiors in L.A., but shot location stuff in the city.

[nell17]

Castle shoots alot of their outside scenes in downtown LA.

[quartermainefan]

Apparently it costs a lot to shoot in NY, and the Mayor really has dropped the ball on retaining shows. If it was too expensive to keep AMC in NY, then maybe there was a tax break or incentive somewhere that would have kept the show home and saved all the NY jobs that were lost. I don't think anyone even tried to see if there was a way to convince ABC to stay in NY.

[OLTL_fan]

Im boycotting this episode now.

NYC let the tax break for TV/film production lapse and they've been paying for it ever since. I remember when Fringe moved from NY to Vancouver, it made me sick because the only reason they moved was because they lost the tax break. I just hate seeing shows like Castle or V that are set in New York but don't/can't/won't shoot there. The city needs that business so badly.
