I’m glad that the article mentioned Stana as one of the cornerstones of the series. To me Stana is a more important part of the series than Nathan though I like Nathan and his role. When I think of Castle with Castle missing I think that it would still be an interesting detective series. When I think of Castle with Beckett missing all I can think of is what do I do watch Castle typing a book? Hopefully, though, I hope that ABC uses the opportunity to take the role of Beckett to new heights and satisfies her desire for art possibly to include some directing experience.

Let’s face it the backbone of the series as it stands now is that Beckett is Castle’s muse and as such she provides fodder for Castle’s novels. Without Beckett or a substitute muse the series will fall apart because there will be nothing for Castle to do.
On another note Andrew and David are leaving the series. Also Beckett and Castle are preparing bucket lists and career plans (mountains to scale). There could be no better timing for this because it can serve as a basis for new back stories that can develop the characters in different ways to creat the art that Stana wants. For example: Beckett is to be faced with a crossroads later this season. What if this were to be a decision to accept a promotion as Captain of her own precinct (the 12th maybe) or to accept an appointment to the remainder of Senator Bracken’s Senate seat with support for future elections. And, this is just one possible scenario. Another could be to have children (which could even be done in conjunction with other scenarios). I will not say that the possibilities are endless but there are certainly several.

No interest in Castle without Beckett.
