In reply to Leo. So if a auto maker gives his workers too much money you fire the auto workers. I'm sure Paul Lee was not the finale ABC corp word in her last contract, are they all fired too?

In reply to Jim_Satterfield. Satisfying to the studio, where they can look back and be satisfied with their effort. That is all season 9 will be.

In reply to Leo. Without the presence of Stana Katic and Tamala Jones there is nothing they can do for the fans to bring it to a satisfying conclusion.

Because Castle was such a money maker for ABC for six seasons, the studio is giving them an abriviated season to bring the series to a satisfying conclusion.

In reply to georgee. Those were the terms of the contract she worked out with paul lee. The contract that ABC was not to happy with, her much shoter. hours for more pay That's why both paul lee and she were fired.

In reply to Leo. She has told us before she was not in it for the money. Sounds like ABC just refused to negotiate with her. And It looks like if Goldberg and Ripa have a problem ABC goes running to them with check book in hand. Why can't someone just be honest with why they never ask her, and threw the whole Castle story down that rabbit hole. Was it Fillion bullying, her only having 5 minutes of air time per episode or did are two runners just wanted to trade her in for Toks? Winter wanted a clean slate the only thing he cleaned out was Katic and Jones and a BS story line. I guess that what he calls cleaning.

The only thing that seems to be positive at this point in time is that Stana and Tamala will not be returning if there is a season 9. And, of course, even this is not a “cast in concrete” situation because ABC can still negotiate contracts with these two stars at anytime they should determine it necessary. Likewise it only “seems” that there will even be a season 9 but this, too, is not cast in concrete and even if started a season 9 could be cancelled at anytime ABC desired. There is speculation that many fans will not return for a season 9 without Stana and/or Tamala but how many no one knows and no one knows how many would have to leave before it impacts of decisions to be made by ABC. At this time I would think that there is a strong possibility of a start of a season 9 but only considering that there is not a strong new program to replace Castle and the knowledge that a season 9 could be cancelled at any time.

In reply to Leo. The fact that ABC has renewed contracts to vertually the entire cast seems to lend ceedance to the rumor that the contract SK had garnered were so financially unsustainable under lower existing revenue streams , ABC didn't bother negotiating something unrealistic .
