Killing The Show

woman floor[Blind Gossip] This network TV show has been on the air for several seasons, but an upcoming cast shakeup is not sitting well with everyone on set!

Basically, they are getting rid of half of the lead couple. The female character may not have been in the title of the show… but she was still HALF the show! Someone on the set shared their views about the casting change with us.

Look. she’s not my favorite person to work with, but I (and lots of other cast and crew here) think the producers have made a really big mistake. The fans have to come to expect that the two leads are a couple.

Getting rid of [her] is not something that’s going to shake up the show. It’s going to KILL it!  I’m predicting this is our last season. Dumb move by producers.

Now excuse me while I start looking for another job…

    Ace- I love how totally not subtle you are with these back-to-back blinds. ?

    Castle, Fillion/Katic aka Caskett

    This was rumored she was going last year, as the pair were NOT getting along. I didn’t even realize it was back for this season, thinking it got cancelled already!

    I’m done with this and Sleepy Hollow; SPN I’m barely hanging on; Arrow will only keep me as long as they keep crossing to Flash and have Capt Jack on.

    The “Castle” news suck for the fans (haven’t watched the show in years, so no big lost for me.)
    That being said, I didn’t know Stana Katic had a rep for being a difficult actress – anyway, that’s what I got from the ‘not my favorite person to work with’ comment given by the source here, and her name being added in the “JJ Abrams And The Rude Actress” post.

    So… Katic is known as being a pain in the *? There’s stories about her behavior to back this up?

    Optional: I think it would totally kill the show.

  8. sunshinestar says

    Castle – they are killing Beckett off, Stana Katic is not getting her contract renewed

    This will definitely the end of the show. Changing the format completely by killing off one of the main characters is going to drive fans away.

  9. Elliegurl says

    The Blacklist?
    James Spader
    The girl who plays Liz..

    I like the show, but would probably still watch it w/o the Liz character.

  10. oyevey says

    Castle should be cancelled if they are not bringing back Stana Katic! Nathan Fillion can’t carry the show without her.

  11. TeacherKat says

    Castle?

    Nathan Fillion And Stand Katic (sp)

    This would kill the show. Beckett is pretty much a co-lead. Always has been.

    Show is done. Has been since the worst season ever with his crash before the wedding…

    I think when a lead character leaves it typically the beginning of the end for a show.

  18. Carolina Girl says

    Castle

    Nathan Fillion

    Stana Katic

    Tamala Jones is also leaving the show.

    Right now the show has not been renewed for a new season. They all may get their walking papers.

    [Optional] Do you think getting rid of this character will help or hurt the show? I hope it sinks faster than Nathan Fillion can say Firefly. She’s the nicest woman I’ve ever met.

  21. woodwn says

    This season was crazy for a lot of shows. Blacklist, Arrow, Sleepy Hallow, and like 5 others. At first I wanted to guess Arrow because of the “title character” mention and the comic universe.

    But I believe that killing off Abbie aka Nicole Beharie from Sleepy Hollow is going to sink that show.
    Tom Mison aka Ichabod Crane is at least known in the story of Sleepy Hollow which might explain the hint.

    The show always said biblically they were “TWO WITNESSES” and now that is gone.

  22. RebellionTruth says

    The Castle female lead. I dont watch the show but if one of the lead characters of my fave shows leaves it, I’m done with it. It’s not the same anymore.
    I think it will hurt the show, for sure.

  23. GeeGee says

    Castle

    Good or bad move? Don’t know, it would depend on who they brought in to play opposite Castle.

  26. IAmSage says

    I don’t know whether this will hurt the show because I have never, ever seen one episode!

  27. Goodgrief says

    Since it has been all over the news today that Stana Katic wasn’t asked to renew her contract on Castle, that is my guess.

    TV Show: Castle

    Lead Actor: Nathan Fillion

    Lead Actress: Stana Katic

    [Optional] Do you think getting rid of this character will help or hurt the show? It will kill the show. She was the only reason I watched.

  32. Martini says

    I’ll guess Stana Katic from “Castle”; she was also listed as one of the guest stars on “Alias” in the JJ Abrams blind today and it seems she could be hard to work with.

  33. worldsoldestkitten says

    Show: Castle
    Actor: Nathan Fillion
    Actress: Katic Stanic

    It will hurt the show, which is ridiculous. Fillion can carry it himself, but the shippers will sink it.

    I quit watching last season. I think I might watch again just to see where they plan to take the storylines. It might be a good thing.

    Lead actress: Stana Katic

    Hurt or help? When the show is built around a duo like that, having one of them leave is usually devastating. Look at the X-Files when Duchovny left.

    Hint: her character not “in the title of the show.” His name is Castle, hers isn’t.

  40. cadaver11 says

    CASTLE

    It changes the dynamics but not necessarily in a bad way–if they play their cards right, this could over better than expected!

  41. melrose71 says

    Castle with Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic. This is a disaster. There’s no way it can continue.

    [Optional] Do you think getting rid of this character will help or hurt the show? I stopped watching the show long ago, but I don’t think having her leave will be good for the show. They should just end the show.

  43. alyssaisrad93 says

    Well since the news already came out it’s obvious. I really hope this is just part of contract negotiations or to test the water. The show can’t go on without her and I know I and many others won’t watch another season without Stana. And they just fired her for “budgetary reasons” which is the stupidest reason I’ve ever heard. Bring back Marlowe and have him write a proper ending to the show.

    If it is correct guess I will say it’ll hurt the show.

    It’s the end. They lost me at the kidnapping/amnesia storyline, but I would still expect Castle and Beckett to be front and center. I would follow Fillion, Seamus Deaver and Jon Huertas anywhere they landed. This used to be such a fun show. How disappointing.

  53. Junior Mint says

    Castle
    Nathan Fillion
    Stana Katic

    I think it’s a great move! She’s the least believable “tough detective” I’ve ever seen on TV, and she has zero chemistry with Castle. Now he can be mourning her (ooh, maybe driven to solve/avenge her death?) with Ryan and Esposito, and the show will have focus.

  54. WillowPotter says

    The tv show is: Grimm

    Lead actor: David Giutoli

    Lead Actress: Bitsie Tulloch

    It will help the show, I can not stand her character, I started not liking her when she kicked Nick out of HIS house that was in HIS name that his mother left to him were she paid no bills, yes, I take this show waaaay to seriously..lol

    • Martini says

      I logged in just so I could disagree with you. This is the most interesting Juliette’s character has EVER been. She was getting really dull as the milk toast girlfriend and now she’s fierce! No way is this GRIMM. Plus, it makes no sense as nobody’s name is in the title (and the blind infers that it’s a show with someone’s name in the title).

      I, too, am an addict of the show. I nearly crumble when it’s over — I get the shakes and can’t wait another week.

  56. I Am PunkA says

    I think it will do neither. won;t help or hurt. Just will kick out another 22 shows for syndication, and the show is over after next year anyway. So TPTB make more $$$ is it.

    Castle.
    Nathan Fillion
    Stana Katic.

    This will definitely not help the show and ruin it in the end, it’s on its way out anyway since a while. But if the tension on set is too much and for too many years, some things have to change. This was writing on the wall.

    Why is this a blind? The news is already out.

    [Optional] Do you think getting rid of this character will help or hurt the show? While the show is about Castle, it’s also basically about Beckett so yup, it’s going to hurt the show.

  63. phoenixfire says

    TV show: Castle

    Lead actor: Nathan Fillion

    Optional: the show is going to tank, hard. The ratings are already bad, so now that a lead is leaving, what little loyal fan base they have will leave right along with them.

    If my twitter feed is any indication (i don’t watch the show) this is a terrible move.

  67. ADoyle says

    A lot of people like Kate (I was never one of them) so it can hurt the show. Unless, they bring back a favorite character to shake things up. Nathan is so much better when he plays off someone.

    It will definitely hurt the show! Just watch…it’s the beginning of the end!

  72. onebyone says

    Getting rid of Stana Katic on Castle makes no sense at all. They should just end it this season and be done with it. I have no interest in next year

  73. bostonbratt says

    TV Show Castle
    Female lead. Never watched the show and forgot her name .
    Lead Actor- Nathan Fillion.

    Did she want a raise? Firing Dempsey didn’t kill GA because it was a big ensemble show. This was a dumb move.

  76. maggie may says

    Stana Katic/Castle

    I don’t care for her or her character so it won’t ruin the show for me.

  77. Camila says

    They might as well just cancel it. I’m not watching without Beckett and I’m pretty sure most of the fans will do the same.

    I have never watched the show, but it sure sounds like it.

  81. missmissy says

    Please let this be Castle. It jumped the shark a couple of seasons ago.

    Nathan Fillion
    Ms. Stanic

    Just kill the show already. It ended when the main characters started to go “missing”.

  82. SouthJerseyGirl says

    I don’t watch the show but it’s “Castle” and according to previous comments, the 2 leads Nathan Filion and Stana Katic hate each other.

    A shake up can either kill it or energize the show (Gray’s Anatomy e.g.) after they got rid of long-standing cast members.

    [Optional] Do you think getting rid of this character will help or hurt the show? Hurt. Their relationship is one of the foundations of the show.

    Been on for several seasons, the picture kind of looks like a crime scene, the show is named after the character Richard Castle.

    I was also thinking it could be Sleepy Hallow but that’s not an upcoming storyline, they already killed Nicole Beharie’s Abbie. And they weren’t a couple, just partners.

    • Laughing1 says

      Well, in my book, Castle’s be on TV for way more than “several” seasons……more like 7!

  93. dynamodavid says

    ‘Sleepy Hollow’

    Tom Mison

    Nicole Beharie

    Yes. Anytime there is such a drastic change in actors, the show always suffers the loss of viewers.

    • Laughing1 says

      I don’t think Megan Boone’s character is really truly dead. And she wouldn’t be half of the lead couple, as Reddington is the other “half” of the lead in that show.

  95. draconius25 says

    Sleepy Hollow
    Tom Mison as Icabod Crane
    Nicole Beharie as Abbie Mills
    It will hurt the show

  96. Virgo826 says

    Meh, they have phased her out of so many episodes already and moved him into a PI role, that I don’t think it will hurt it too much.

  100. aeduko says

    I think the show’s dead anyway.

    Stana Katic from Castle…wasn’t there already a blind about this not too long ago?

    Bad idea to get rid of Penny! She is the perfect foil to the “nerds!”

  110. athena says

    TV: Castle The girl in the picture is laid out in a similar fashion to the adverts for the show; and there are several references to killings, which is what the show is usually solving.
    Actor: Nathan Fillion
    Actress: Stana Katic
    I’ve always loved this type of Nick and Nora, Remington Steele, Moonlighting type of drama. Networks just need to figure out how to keep the show fresh after the lead couple get together.

  111. goggles says

    Castle

    Nathan Fillion

    Stana Katic (sp?)

    I don’t watch the show, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this was their last. It’s been struggling for awhile now.
