Penny Johnson won't be returning for season eight




According to TV Line, Jerald's exit from the ABC crime drama is a result of new "creative tweaks" planned for the show after David Amann stepped down as showrunner.

Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic will reprise their respective roles of Richard Castle and Kate Beckett

Ah shît
I preferred Montgomery but I don't want Kate to be captain

Wonder if we'll see a format shake-up this season as hinted previously after all?

I don't think that will come as a major surprise for anyone re Beckett's decision.

Intriguing opening episode I really enjoyed it.

Yeah have to say I really enjoyed it, let's hope they can keep the story/pace going. I'm also really liking the Castle PI team; it seems they've finally found a use for Alexis and she's great.

Great second episode the season has kicked off really well hoping it will continue this story arc with Castle's mother in law and Beckett more so than story of the week episodes.

Jayne

cant see the show going without Becket. ?

Beckett and Lanie not back for Season 9

Thanks, I was just gonna post that last nite, but i couldn't find S08 page & was gonna start one:)

Although i couldn't believe it, as i thought she got fired when i heard dismissal, as i thought the same after watching The Blacklist

Afaik, she almost died at end of S05 when shot at an outside presentation?

Unless the showrunners were teasing us at the start in where the two were separated at the start of season, while Kate & Ackram were following leads & last ep i saw, the two were back together

Although i saw this by a poster, might explain what was meant by the show EP

Rumor has it Castle is moving to LA to be a private detective, so that might be why they wouldn’t have Tamala Jones’s character move. It’s going to be hard enough to explain Ryan & Espo’s moving.

It's already been done at the start of the season anyway, Father/Daughter Detective agency, but now maybe in a different setting to save money??

The "best" way to have done this would be to allow Becket to further slip away , but in recent week they have brought her back into castle life

I dont know how this will work? Death is the only option now , but that means she gone for good

Doesn't matter if she's gone for good or not. The series won't last another 2 seasons after this one IMHO. Been a great run though

wont make1

I assume May 17th is the renewal date for most shows?

There's one spin-off, i would like to have seen, that may have been Adam Baldwin's character 'Ethan Slaughter' as he was a good character in that!

But there seems to be no end in Firefly cast appearing - as Jewel Staite is turning up on May 2 - ep 20, as well as Summer Glau who guest-starred as a rival private detective, but wish had more of a role in it!
