ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 5 spoilers: ‘General Hospital’ star to battle an ex

Now that we are fairly deep into the fall season of “Castle,” this really just means one thing: getting an opportunity to hear some more scoop about just what is going to be coming up in the winter portion of the season airing early next year. With that in mind, why don’t we start things off here with a little bit of casting news? If you love ABC’s daytime lineup, then this one will probably suit your fancy more than just about any other.

According to a brand-new report coming to us via TVLine, “General Hospital’s” Nancy Lee Grahn is going to be venturing into primetime for an episode airing in early January, where she will be playing the character of Samatha Voss, who is a wealthy woman who is just coming off of a divorce. However, she will still be battling her ex in a very major way, and this episode (titled “Significant Others”) is definitely going to have the feel of couples consistently fighting it out with each other.

So what sort of impact could this very thing ultimately have with Castle and Beckett? Really, how we choose to look at here is that seeing some other relationships crumble could start to put a little bit of doubt into Beckett’s mind, especially since she knows that divorce is something that Castle has already had more than just a tiny taste of in the past. Is this a world that she really wants to risk being a part of? This is going to be a question that she will have to ask herself, and hopefully we will have some sort of concise answer to it at some point by the end of the episode. (With that being said, we still feel pretty good that these two will make it.)

What do you think about this casting, and the idea for this episode as a whole?
