This review contains spoilers.
8.18 Backstabber
This week, Hayley was solidly inducted into the ranks of Castle regulars by getting an episode about her. The purpose of these kinds of episodes is to give us background and real texture to the characters that surround Beckett and Castle. They explain why these characters are who they are—because while Castle has a fine cast, it’s not really an ensemble show. Rick and Kate get character development of one kind or another in almost every episode. But it’s hard to really learn much about the secondary characters because of their limited time on-screen.
Thus we've had episodes about all of our regulars, like the one about Kevin Ryan’s past as an undercover cop that highlights for us where the steel that he occasionally shows in dealing with suspects comes from.

Change is certainly in the air in the first promo for Castle Season 8. Kate has a new job, Rick has a new partner, and according to the trailer’s voice-over, that’s just the beginning of it all, as it tells us that “everything you think you know is about to change.” And all of those changes that are occurring aren’t only on the screen but off, as Castle has Terrance Paul Winter and Alexi Hawley taking over for David Amann as showrunner this season. Additionally, Penny Johnson Jerald, who played Captain Victoria Gates, is no longer on the show, while Toks Olagundoye (who we get a few glimpses of in this promo) is a new series regular, playing security specialist Hayley Shipton. There’s no doubt that this is a different type of Castle than what viewers were given in Season 7, but what remains to be seen is...

While both Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion will be back for Castle‘s upcoming eighth season, one key member of the show’s cast will not be returning with them. Penny Johnson Jerald, who joined the ABC series back in Season 4 as Captain Victoria Gates, will no longer be on Castle when it returns for Season 8 this fall. Jerald first shared the news herself on Twitter late on Friday night. ABC later confirmed her exit from Castle. “To my Castle fans around the world, as of late yesterday I am surprised and saddened to learn that I will no longer be a part of the Castle family,” Jerald wrote on Twitter. “Thank you all for your support and love. Hugs from Pjj.” To my Castle fans around the world, as of late yesterday I am surprised and saddened to learn that I will no (cont) http://t.co/ShjcoiU61Z...

According to a new report from TV Line, the Castle season 8 folks have decided to get rid of character ,Captain Victoria Gates, from the storyline, so that means poor portrayer, Penny Johnson Jerald (left), is out of a job, and apparently got blindsided by the news. Here's what she had to say about it on her official Twitter feed: "To my Castle fans around the world, as of late yesterday I am surprised and saddened to learn that I will no longer be a part of the Castle family. Thank you all for your support and love. Hugs from Pjj.” So sad. Anyways, they say this development came about because new showrunners, Terence Paul Winter and Alexi Hawley, have decided to give the show several creative tweaks and one of them tweaked Victoria right out the door. Oh well. Season 8 premieres this Fall 2015.

"Castle" Season 6 is finally giving fans a closer look at the personal life of Captain Victoria Gates (Penny Johnson Jerald). In episode 19, "The Greater Good," Gates' sister, Elizabeth Weston (Salli Richardson-Whitfield, "Eureka"), enters the picture as a Us Attorney involved with a murder case.
Things are not particularly good between the sisters. Zap2it talked to Johnson Jerald about the episode and what it means for Gates.
Zap2it: What can you share about 'The Greater Good'?
Johnson Jerald: I can tell you that it is an exciting episode. I can tell you that you will enjoy the cast, the guest stars, and you're definitely going to support and love Salli Richardson, who is playing my sister. She's a wonderful choice.
Is this an episode in which Gates' personal life is exposed, or will she mostly just be working the case?
This particular episode, you're going to get to see both.

The 100th episode of "Castle" may be airing on Monday, April 1 (10 p.m. Et on ABC), but it's no April Fools joke -- in fact, the consequences of the "Rear Window"-esque case could hit surprisingly close to home for our heroes.
At the cake-cutting ceremony for the milestone episode, The Huffington Post caught up with Nathan Fillion, creator Andrew Marlowe and other members of the show's cast to preview what to expect from the Hitchcock-inspired hour, which Marlowe described as "a champagne glass of an episode," designed with the series' most loyal fans in mind -- especially those who love Castle (Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic). Read on for what we learned.

Don't worry Castle fans, Luci is just fine but nowhere near a computer at the moment so the duty of sharing these terrific new Castle clips from next week's "Secret's Safe with Me" is all mine. Sounds like it will be another great Castle mystery from the description below, but you'll find out in the clips that there is some progression on the romance aspect as well as Castle prepares to go slightly more public with their relationship. Who thinks it won't be long before this relationship is completely out of the bag and causing major problems for everyone on the show? See my hand up over here? In the meantime, we can enjoy the innocence (?) of blossoming love, and hope for the best. Oh yeah, and really gruesome murders too!

ABC has just released the clips for next Monday's Castle episode and I have to say it looks like it's going to be one of those light, fun episodes. I, for one, am actually glad that we will have a breather of an episode to give us time to absorb the awesomeness that was "Cops & Robbers" this week. You can check out my review here.
In "Heartbreak Hotel", the team will be investigating the murder of a casino owner from Atlantic City. The case will split them up as Gates will send the boys - including Castle. I know I am shocked too - to Atlantic City while Beckett stays in New York to work with Gates. I am actually looking forward to seeing more of that dynamic and hoping that this will be the one that will make me like Captain Victoria Gates a little bit more.

She may not have made the most pleasant debut on Castle last week, in the eyes of viewers, but Captain Victoria Gates is far from an evil person.
"She wants the best at that precinct," Penny Johnson Jerald told me on the phone Friday. "Does that really include having a writer hanging around?
From an outsider's point of view, it's a perfectly reasonably question to ask.
Of course, Castle has undermined Gates and gone to the mayor. He has to be around now, an arrangement both sides will struggle to deal with.
"He'll try to show the captain that he knows his stuff. You'll see if she's impressed or not," the actress says. "I can say that we'll go through some kind of transition and hopefully find a happy medium."

As audiences need not be reminded, last season’s Castle finale left us all in shock, not to mention a bit tear soaked over the death of beloved Captain Roy Montgomery and the shooting of Kate Beckett at his funeral. With Richard Castle’s “I love you” being perhaps the final words Beckett heard, tonight’s third season picks-up to find out (1) if Beckett survives and (2) whether or not she heard Castle’s confession. Then joining in the ranks to take over the precinct is Penny Johnson Jerald as Captain Victoria Gates, who has no preexisting relationship with any of them and who has a decidedly different view on whether Richard Castle, as a writer, should be allowed to shadow a lead detective into harm’s way on a regular basis.

But that doesn't mean her season three finale shooting won't have serious repercussions, especially on the man who said he loves her.
In the following new promo for Castle's return on September 19, we see Castle struggling with the perilous state of his partner, blaming himself for her fall and fighting with Josh. We also get a very quick glimpse of Penny Johnson Jerald as the new captain, Victoria Gates.

That said, this new Castle promo really gives us a great look at the drama that will arise in the aftermath of Beckett’s shooting at the end of last season. Castle’s (Nathan Fillion) bloody hands and ominous voiceover (“Everything that’s happened, happened because of me”) are completely chill-worthy. Not to mention the first look at the fight between Josh and Castle that’s been teased. (#Team Castle, duh)

Guys, ABC has finally given us something Castle related. I know I was going a little crazy seeing a lot of other shows releasing promotional photos and teasers for their new seasons and nothing on the Castle front.
I am happy to tell you that we have several cast photos to share with you and the group shot is really interesting. It's got this noir kind of vibe to it, which is really, really cool (and actually reminds me a lot of the musical Fringe episode, if there are any fans among the Castle crowd). The individual shots are also great and they have officially introduced Penny Johnson Jerald as a new cast member.
As you all probably know, there have been spoilers flying left and right about the new season. The new Captain, however, is probably the most talked about topic in the fandom - other than the possible new love interest for Castle,...

She has now told Give Me My Remote that Gates will spice things up. Johnson Jerald said: "I think she's the hot sauce on the meal. Where you're like, 'Wait a minute, did somebody just put hot sauce on that? Oh, it's not that hot. Oh - yes it is!' "So I think she's going to make it not as comfortable as it has been and I think that's great. I love a good challenge. I think she loves a good challenge too. I think that's where she's coming in and mixing up that crew."

Well, it looks like Victoria Gates means business when she takes over as the new Captain of the 12th Precinct. As you can see from the brand new picture on the right, the lady is sharp and Detective Beckett is very much alive (did anyone really think she wasn't going to make it? Really?). TV Guide has recently sat down to chat with Penny Johnson Jerald, who has joined the cast of ABC's Castle as Captain Victoria "Iron" Gates.
Just by the nickname, you can tell the woman is fierce and won't take anyone's crap, especially Castle's. The first thing she questions when she starts her new job is just what exactly is Richard Castle, a civilian, doing in her Precinct. Needless to say that Castle will have his work cut out for him to convince Gates to let him stay and still ride along with Beckett and the boys.

Okay, so this is really intriguing.
Kristin dos Santos from E!Online talked to Penny Johnson Jerald - who has joined the cast of ABC's Castle as the new Captain Victoria Gates - and the actress said something very interesting.
First, it seems that the time jump that we have all been predicting is indeed going to happen during the first episode of season 4 and three entire months will have passed by the end of the premiere. But that's not what has me so intrigued, after all we all knew there needed to be a significant time jump in order to Detective Kate Beckett to be back to work in all her kickass glory by episode 4.02.
What got me thinking was that Penny said that she doesn't know if we are going to see Beckett at the Precinct during the season 4 Premiere - entitled "Rise" - at all.

The new Captain of the 12th Precinct has been a topic of heated debate ever since our beloved Captain Montgomery suffered a tragic death in the season 3 finale, "Knockout" back in May. After the third season of Castle ended, the most popular topics discussed among the fans were who is going to replace Captain Montgomery and whether Detective Beckett would remember Castle's desperate declaration of love after she took a bullet to the chest.
About Kate remembering or not, we still don't know. I did try to get some info out of executive producer Laurie Zaks when we met in July, but she was sworn to secrecy, much to my dismay. However, news about the new Captain just keeps trickling in.

Well, it looks like Detective Kate Beckett is going to have an incredibly quick recovery for someone who took a bullet to the chest. A few behind the scenes pictures taken by fans hit the internet today and it seems like Beckett is back to kicking some serious butt and investigating murders.
It is also interesting that her hair style is back to super straight, which seems to be a throwback to early season 3. I wonder if that change in her hair style was on purpose; if it is, I wonder what it could possibly mean.
Something I am curious about is how much time will have passed since the day she got shot until episode 4.02 “Heroes and Villains”. Let’s not forget that this is the superhero episode the cast teased about during the Comic-Con, so it will most likely come as a breather after the intense season 4 premiere...

Castle fans will soon find out what 24 viewers learned many years ago: Penny Johnson Jerald means business.
The actress, who made such a great villain on that Fox drama's first couple seasons, will come on board season four as Captain Victoria Gates. And she won't have very much patient for a certain author who likes to act like a cop.
"She's not warm and cuddly," Seamus Deaver (Detective Kevin Ryan) tells TV Guide of his character's new boss. "So the days of us being protected, and the days of Castle being very welcome at the precinct are over."
Nathan Fillion adds that there won't be any "trust" between Castle and the new captain, who has no history with him or with Beckett.
"You have a veritable stranger - who's not an easy woman - and you have Castle, who's very accustomed to dealing with women, but usually he finds himself being adored and charming.

Nathan Fillion has confirmed that his character will clash with the new police captain when Castle returns. Penny Johnson Jerald recently signed up to play Victoria Gates, who is replacing Captain Montgomery in the ABC show. Fillion has now told Collider that Castle will begin to realise that Montgomery had motives for keeping him around. "What we discover is that Roy Montgomery had a reason to have Castle there," he said. "He had an interest in Beckett and felt a responsibility towards her. He knew she was haunted, knew she was tortured, and saw the effect that Castle had on her. So he had an interest in keeping Castle close. "The new captain, not so much. She's not invested in these cops, and certainly not Castle, the way that Montgomery was. It's going to be much more difficult for Castle." Fillion also suggested that (more)...

Nathan Fillion is going to have to watch his back now that Penny Johnson Jerald is going to be his new boss in ABC’s Castle according to TV Guide. Jerald will play Victoria Gates who has spent a good chunk of her career working Internal Affairs. She’s focuses on advancing her career, which she has now that she’s captain of the 12th precinct, but usually forgets to actually do any police work because she’s too busy kissing her superior’s butts. It’s a common characteristic of TV show bosses to only care about advancing their careers and everyone loves having someone to hate.
Victoria has a pretty nifty nickname, Iron Gates. If that doesn’t scream hard ass I don’t know what will. “Everybody’s getting along really well in the precinct, and we think there can be a little more conflict,” said creator...
