Castle Season Finale Preview: Explosive Climax Ahead!
Yes, a key character really will die on the Castle season finale. Series creator Andrew Marlowe says it will be someone viewers have seen "many, many times before."
Among the other season-concluding tidbits Marlowe spilled to TV Line:
- The relationship between Beckett and Castle will play an "essential" role.
- Neither Gina nor Josh will appear.
- A "significant amount about the conspiracy" behind Beckett's mother's murder will be revealed.
- Fans should prepare for a cliffhanger and "a pretty explosive climax that has to do fundamentally with Beckett and Castle’s relationship."
The Castle season finale airs on May 16.

I love this show. It keeps you in suspense till the very end. Love the chemistry. Love all the characters. Very sad that you cut the captain out. All the characters fit so very well together, just like family. That was a bad call I feel. If I miss the show, I hulu the next day.

Damn, I hate when they end the season in a cliffhanger. Well, at least there will be more Caskett stuff. Man, I feel like a girl when I watch Castle.
