Castle fans may still be buzzing about the big kiss this week, but let's face it: that's in the past.

What does the future hold on this ABC series? A few juicy nuggets, according to various reports. To wit:

• The show will air an episode that pays homage to Nathan Fillion's past on One Life to Live. Titled “One Life to Lose,” the installment will focus on Beckett and Castle investigating the murder of a soap opera writer and will feature cameos by numerous ABC soap stars.
• Esposito and Lanie will double date with Ryan and Jenny. The woman involved will not get along well.
• Piter Marek (Ugly Betty, Sex and the City 2) will guest star next month as an entrepreneur.

As for the very near future? Check out the official preview below for next week's new episode:
