It will be interesting to see in which thenew show runners take the show as they have plans to make it more dynamic. I also think that the delay in Stana re-signing probably had more to do with her wanting to confirm that there was still good stories to tell about Beckett than anything else. Obviously she was convinced for at least one more season, hopefully more, the trouble is at present none of the options indicate dynamic storylines.

Nope! The show’s about them solving crime together, as a captain she won’t be able to do that out in the field and them working separately has proved to never work.

Absolutely, she can continue to work the murder board, she can oversee to the interogations and do some interogating on her own and like Montgomery go out on the field when necessary. Castle can continue to go out with Ryan and Esposito and his banter and theories will be expressed at the murder board, her office and the break room. The main difference will be now she'll have face to face meetings with the commissioner and judges with Castle at her side, this is fiction after all and of course the poker games with Connelly and Lahaine. And there should be a new female detective to take her place. It will be interesting to see the subject Castle chooses for his first venture into serious literature. And the first Cop novel Ryan writes, with Castle as his mentor.
