Castle – One of his ex-wives to return

Beckett’s new love interest on Castle isn’t the only obstacle to a Castle-Beckett pairing.
Monet Mazur will return as Gina Cowell, Castle’s ex-wife and book editor, in the Season 2 finale, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
Cowell, who last appeared in the show’s pilot, turns up because Castle (Nathan Fillion) has fallen behind on his latest book. Gina hopes to get Castle back on track — in more ways than one.
The old flame will be rekindled, creating some interesting reactions from Beckett (Stana Katic). However, Gina’s reappearance may just open both Beckett’s and Castle’s eyes.
Castle’s season finale airs May 17 at 10/9c on ABC.

Castle – Julie Gonzalo to guest star

ABC’s just-renewed Castle is taking a stab at reality TV with an episode centered around the murder of a former contestant on a Top Chef-like series. But that’s not the big news. This is the big news: The ep features Veronica Mars grad Julie Gonzalo as a high school friend of Beckett’s!

Here’s the sitch: Gonzalo (whose post-Mars resume includes stints on Eli Stone and NBC’s in-limbo Day One) guest stars as a beautiful and dynamic restaurateur who finds herself mixed up in the aforementioned murder investigation.

The May sweeps outing, cheekily titled “Food to Die For,” also boasts a cameo by celeb chef Rocco Dispirito as himself.

Where will Castle and Beckett end up this season now that Beckett’s got a new man?
ADAM: Well, Castle isn’t going to sit around and wait: As we’ve reported, he’ll be busy rekindling the flame with his ex-wife and editor Gina (Monet Mazur). “There’s a lot of unresolved stuff that is still out there in regards to what went on and what went wrong with Castle in his previous marriages,” Stana Katic tells us. And how will Beckett react to his renewed relationship? “You don’t just stop liking somebody overnight, so I imagine it will affect Beckett, which will be great. Anything we can do to heighten the stakes.” Source: TV Guide

Castle – Beckett’s Ready to Tango with New Love Interest

And in Monday’s episode Castle’s Stana Katic likens the romantic tension between her character, Kate Beckett, and Castle (Nathan Fillion) to a dance(10/9c, ABC) Beckett’s going to switch dancing partners.

Will Castle’s explosive cliff-hanger create sparks for Castle and Beckett?

When Beckett’s team catches the case of a murdered thief, they look to robbery division Detective Tom Demming (Battlestar Galactica’s Michael Trucco) for help with the case. And he steals Beckett’s heart.

“It’s really wonderful to have the opportunity to show a more sensual, romantic side to Beckett,” Katic tells TVGuide.com. “I think it’s great having someone like Tom Denning who is genuinely interested in Kate and is formidable enough to become a bit of a competitor for Castle.”

However, Katic says Castle’s response is more than petty jealousy. “It forces Castle to have some introspection as to why he hasn’t approached her yet in that way and what’s going on with his relationships and past romantic experiences,” Katic says. “He’s had a number of girls swing in and swing out. So, this is an opportunity for us as an audience to delve deeper into something he may not realize he’s missing.”

So, is Beckett just trying to make Castle jealous? “I don’t think she’s manipulative like that,” Katic says. “She has a tremendous amount of integrity and if she likes someone, she likes them. She doesn’t use them to get to someone else. The relationship with Castle has reached a point where somebody’s got to move. And if there’s this guy that’s really wonderful and talented and good looking, it makes sense.”

Although Katic welcomes the chance to play more than just the hard-nosed police detective, she says viewers shouldn’t expect to see an overly mushy Beckett. And when Beckett’s new suitor becomes a suspect in the case, the two get quite physical in a steamy sparring match.

“Every woman has girly moments when they like somebody, but you’ve got to remember that Kate’s kick-ass,” she says. “I think that this romance is more like a tango than a waltz. There’s some kind of primal physical attraction before anything else.”

Trucco is signed on four episodes, which takes his character all the way through the finale. Katic says his character will continue to play an important role inside the precinct, but she’s hoping for a romantic moment or two away from work as well.

“He’s an integral part to helping solve the cases,” Katic says. “I’d love for them to have a personal moment. I think he’s a great character and I do hope we have that kind of a story continuing on to the next season.”

Desperate Housewives & Castle – Dana Delany Interview

Dana Delany may have left Wisteria Lane last night, but she still hopes to call ABC home. Some 24 hours after ‘Desperate Housewives‘ Katherine Mayfair skipped off to Paris with gal pal Robin in tow, Delany makes her debut on ‘Castle‘ (Mondays at 10/9c), playing an FBI agent who rubs Beckett the wrong way as she helps suss out a serial killer fixated on Rick’s new novel.

Delany gave Fancast the scoop on her ‘Housewives’ future, revealed the lesson she hopes to teach Beckett over the course of ‘Castle’s two-part mystery, and shed light on the other crime solver she’s playing in the ABC pilot ‘Body of Evidence.’

So, did we see ‘Desperate Housewives’ Katherine ride off into the Sapphic sunset last night?
[Laughs] You’re the only person besides me that says that; I like that! Yes, she’s off to “gay Paree.” Right now I’m in Providence, Rhode Island, filming this pilot for ABC, so it’s all sort of up in the air. If the pilot gets picked up, that’d be great. If it doesn’t, hopefully I’ll be invited to “come back” from Paris.

But as far as this season of ‘Housewives,’ you’re done? We’ve seen the last of you?
Who knows? That’s the great thing about [‘Housewives’ creator] Marc Cherry and television; you can do things at the last minute.

But what about poor Nathan Fillion? He told Zap2It he was hoping to check in on his former ‘Housewives’ wife and maybe have some three-way action.
Yeah, well – too bad! And he’s not going to get any of that on ‘Castle.’

Why do you think it is that ‘Housewives’ always has trouble making any fifth housewife stick?
I think that there’s a certain structure, almost like a Greek structure to the writing, where you have these four women. And if you do have a fifth housewife, she has to sort of always circle around the other women and cause trouble for them. It works, and I don’t think they want to mess with that.

Now you’re fighting crime as ‘Castle’s Jordan Shaw. Why is she so rigid?
That’s just her job. She’s there as an example to show Beckett that you actually can have it all. You can be a kick-ass agent, and you canbe married and have a kid…. Beckett doesn’t have to shy away from romance.

So even though Shaw rides Beckett pretty hard, she’s there to serve some greater purpose.
Yes, exactly.

Is Shaw at all susceptible to Castle’s charms? I thought I saw a moment in Part 1 where she’s warming up to him…
Any chemistry between Shaw and Castle is just me and Nathan, our friendship coming through. [Laughs]

Will we learn more about Shaw in Part 2?
Just that she has a husband who’s very supportive, and she relies on him. It’s interesting because the pilot that I’m shooting now is the opposite, which I think is a little more realistic. When a woman works as many hours as Jordan Shaw does or the character I’m playing [on ‘Body of Evidence’], it takes a toll on a marriage.

I was wondering if this ‘Castle’ role was almost an “audition” of sorts, to see how you played a crime solver before ABC went to you with ‘Body of Evidence.’
I think it was an audition that nobody knew was happening. It was one of those odd synergistic things where ABC saw the dailies from ‘Castle’ and went, “Oh, we may have found our actor.”

Shaw brings with her some snazzy tech toys. How went your introduction to “smart board” acting”?
I’ve always liked watching John King do that on CNN, so I was very excited! I was like, “This is my chance to do it!”

But he’s actually doing it. You’re just dragging your finger across a sheet of blank glass, until they drop the visual effects in.
Yes, I’m faking it. But acting is all faking anyway!
