Security expert Hayley Shipton will be working closely with Castle. Det. Kate Beckett has been promoted to Captain so she is busy in carrying out her duties as Captain. In this situation, if Hayley walks in and starts working closely with Castle, fans are bound to draw conclusions that this season might see the break off of Castle-Beckett. Is this possible?
The showrunners vehemently deny such a possibility. They reassure fans that Hayley would not be a threat to Castle and Beckett's marriage. According to TV Guide, Hawley says, "That was never our intention. It's not going to happen."
Winter adds, "It's always been about the Castle-Beckett love story. That's steeped in the DNA of the show, and that's what it will always be. Now, it's about exploring the next evolution of it. How do we deepen that love story? What challenges can we put their way that can put their romance at a much higher, different place?"
"Castle" Season 8 starts off with a premiere episode on Sept. 21.
