ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 6 spoilers: Beckett may have another co-worker

While neither ABC nor the “Castle” producers may not be altogether interested in confirming whether or not Beckett leaves her precinct in New York City in order to head down to Washington DC, the show is casting so many people with federal professions these days that you would think that this transition is almost a sure thing.

First, you heard the news that “House” alum Lisa Edelstein had been cast to play an important role in at least some of the early episodes, as her character could end up helping to determine whether or not Beckett stays in the Big Apple. So who could end up joining her now? According to Wetpaint, “Jarhead” actor Jocko Sims will be playing the part of Matt Hendricks, another employee at the department of Justice.

The obvious temptation here is to say that maybe this will be the guy to somehow come in between Castle and Beckett on their quest to find true love, but will that really happen? We’re pretty skeptical, given that Beckett had a prime opportunity to move on from Rick last year if she really wanted to, and she chose to stay at his side. Following a proposal, we could only see her moving on if she said no, and unless we’re looking at some sort of time jump, she wouldn’t jump into another relationship that fast. (Plus, there would be Caskett shippers picketing the set if that were to happen.)

“Castle” season 6 has been confirmed now to be premiering on Monday, September 23, so we should have some more scoop prior to that time in the coming months. Meanwhile, click here if you want to read more on the “sacrifice” that could play a role in the show this coming season.
