ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 5 spoilers: Nathan Fillion talks Ryan-centric episode

Are you ready to see something a little bit different on “Castle”? As we told you earlier this week, Monday night’s new episode is going to change course, and rather than just place the focus on Castle, Beckett, and the case of the week, we are going to be taking an in-depth look at what is going on in the world of Detective Ryan.

However, what may be a little bit of a surprise right now is finding out that this episode may not necessarily show off the best side possible of this character. This idea is something that Nathan Fillion talks about to Entertainment Weekly, as we are going to see some hints of a questionable past from Seamus Dever’s character during the hour:

“I know the fans are going to be very happy with it. We figure, ‘Oh, we know this guy; we love this guy,’ and then we — as a cast of characters — find out something about him that we don’t know and he has to go back into this world that he was in for this one episode. We really get to see him in a very different light.

“I love it when — and this happens in life — you figure you know somebody super well and they tell you something like, ‘Oh, I went to prison once.’ ‘WHAT!?!’ It may not change your opinion of somebody but you certainly see them in a different light.”

This episode will be just a week before the show airs its 100th episode, and this will be something where we see plenty of callbacks to the show’s illustrious past. We anticipate that being a little bit more of a fun hour, while this Ryan story will have more of a serious air.

Do you think that your opinion of Ryan is going to change after watching this episode? As always, be sure to share what you think below, and you can read even more in regards to this episode over at the link here.
