How do you feel about the way your abrupt exit from Castle was handled?
Stana Katic: I’m actually still not clear on the thought process behind the way that it went down. It hurt and it was a harsh ending, but now, nearly two years later…I met so many beautiful people on that project, and we collaborated on something really unique in that it’s not every day that you get a show, or a series, that has eight seasons and that it was a hit for the network. It would be a disservice to those people, to the work that we did together, and to my work, which I feel contributed, in part, to the success of the show, to be anything but grateful because, at the end of the day, that was a fantastic platform. It was a formative experience, and we told a love story that I feel moved people, touched people, and I can’t be anything but glad that I was a part of something like that. I hope it remains something special in viewers’ minds forever.

How do YOU feel about Katic’s Castle firing? Are you pleased the ABC procedural was cancelled shortly after, despite plans for Season 9? Would you ever watch a Castle revival or reboot series?
Liz says
I would never watch anything called Castle again. It broke my heart and soured my stomach. Without Kate Beckett Castle would have never been what it was. The thought they could continue without her is pure ego. The Fans proved that. She got Fired plain and simple because egos didn’t like her. So let’s just leave it there and move on. She is the epitome of grace and has never said a foul word about it. Watch Absentia and be glad she’s back on your screen. She is adored by fans around the world and we are anxious for another big hit.

I would watch Castle again for sure if it was the original cast , I loved that show was sad to see it come to a end , if it was something Stana Katic was fine with then I have no problem with that at all !
Xander says
Yes I would watch a Castle reboot. The funny thing about actors is they crave publicity, good, bad, horrible they don’t care if it’s true or not. Guess that’s why they say “Any publicity is good publicity”.
Debbie Samovar says
Without Stana, why bother!
Kay B. says
I totally agree with Liz above, No “reboot” without the entire original cast, especially, Nathan and Stana!
Kristen says
I would only watch it if it was the original cast including stana. It does work without her and Nathan together.
