According to Google:

Screenrush Series: Rob Bowman, Andrew Marlowe, you … There are several executive producers on "Castle". How do you work together?

Laurie Zaks : So, since this season, we are now four executive producers. In addition to being executive producer of the show, Andrew Marlowe is also its creator. I developed Castle with Andrew. We sold together at ABC there are now two and a half years. I am the sole executive producer of the show not to be a screenwriter on the episodes. Rob Bowman is also a director, in addition to being executive producer. And we recently had a new executive producer screenwriter who arrived this year, David Amann. We are very pleased to have him on the team. In fact, it's me and the boys! But … I'm the prettiest (Laughter) and I am the only one to have good taste in style and clothes (laughs).

They know nothing?

Oh yes, they think so. But not (laughs).

"Castle" is a true success in the U.S. but also worldwide. Is there more pressure for the writers and producers when a series goes well? Additional pressure to meet the expectations of fans?

Always provide the greatest effort possible to make the best series ever. Indeed, one can say that it is a success because Castle is on the air for three seasons, but it could take even more stature – and it will. It always wants to flourish again. And we can do because it is quite possible for viewers to enter the show at any time. But every week there is always pressure to reach achieve the best possible show. And all those who work on Castle desire, especially the team of writers.

It seems that fans of "Castle" in the United States have been very surprised (and unhappy) at the end of season 2, when Castle decides to go to the Hamptons with his ex-wife!

Yes, yes … (Laughs) We could not believe it … The reactions it caused! The fans went crazy. I always tell this story, but this time I went to the ear, nose and throat specialist and he told me:"How could you do that?"unless it was: "How can he go with his ex-wife? " (laughs). So I told him: "You know, it's a TV series." (Laughter) And I continued: "If we had not done that, we would not have these reactions, people n would not have talked as much as they did! " And then we had to do … And when the show returns for season 3, they are still together … And you'll see what happens (laughs) … Right now, we turn the episode 10 of season. Season 3 is really very good. Some of this season will look at Castle and Beckett, who both come with the wrong person. And when you go out with someone who does not suit us, we begin to realize that is the right person …

And the wrong person for Beckett is the character played by Victor Webster, is not it?

Yes, that's it! For now, he has shot one episode but all the girls really want him back. And he will return. When encountered, it is very different from the Castle. We see the first time with a biker jacket, so we think it's just a biker, and in fact it is a cardiac surgeon (laughs)! It seems to please the public, people seem to love well. As for Castle, it stays with his ex a few times but I do not know if it'll last all season (laughs).

If we continue in the guests of the season, you also had Lyle Lovett …

Yes, we toured with him recently. It was great and it was a very funny episode. He plays a kind of FBI agent as a kind of Men In Black investigating aliens and vessels … Stana (Katic) has been great with him, there were lots of lines to learn. You know, it's hard for someone who is not a professional actor to learn all this. But he did have fun.

Did he sing?

No, he does not sing in the episode. And I do not even think he sang on the set (laughs). But he had a great time! It is still trying to have other guests for the season …

Do you expect this season to develop a real love story for Esposito and Ryan?

And Alexis also has a boyfriend this season …
 

And yes! Alexis has a boyfriend and he is very cute (Editor's note : Ken Baumann). For the moment, seen in two episodes. But as it is regular in another series (Editor's note : The Secret Life of the American Teenager), we can not have a lot to us. But it is very good! And Alexis (Editor's note : Molly C. Quinn) is a very good actress.

What is funny and interesting relationship Castle / Alexis is that it looks to have always scared of losing. As if he was allergic to solitude ..

Yes, yes! Like most fathers raising a teenager, he goes through all the stages of anxiety. I love their relationship. And in real life, they are also very close. Nathan Fillion is a true father figure for her. In fact, Molly lives in Los Angeles with his mother and father came to visit them in Texarkana. Nathan and adore it. To tell you, Nathan bought a new house. And Molly and her mother have just moved into the rented house! (Laughter). It is a very close group.

A real family!

Yes, but sometimes we fight all! But this week, everyone got along well, so it was good! (Laughs).

You do not plan to Halloween episode this year …

And Beckett will also be there?

Yes, we will find a way to move it too. gonna be fun …

Did you know Nathan Fillion at the time you worked for UPN channel on which "Buffy" was released?

No, but I had heard of him. He worked on Buffy for a while but I've never met at the time. When he read the script Castle – it was one of the first actors to read it – he loved it and called us. He told us he wanted to do. And then he was reading with all the actresses we had interviewed. There were 200 … He played in Desperate Housewives at this time.

There are many references to "Firefly" in "Castle". Is Nathan Fillion, who requests that they be included or not …

Yes, it is he who puts all these little things in the scenes (laughs). But the suit was not his idea! When he discovered they were going to put it, he was very happy … This year it was at Comic-Con and it was a real rock star. Incredible! 3000 people came to our panel, they waited outside all morning. It clearly has its fans. And they are very loyal. And you know, all the actors of the show continue to be. Nathan, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin… They meet again. It was a very intimate group. And yet, there were only 13 episodes, the movie and then it was over.

The team of "Castle" has lost Stephen J. Cannell there is little … You plan to honor him? And how do you explain his absence at the famous poker table?

CBS, Comedy Central, UPN … You have worked for many channels and many shows … If you had to choose only one who gave you more thrills, what would it be?

This would be the Saturday Night Live… Because I was very young at that time. And it was a great show … I must say that I love being productive. But when I worked for all these networks, I learned a lot. When I left the networks and I had the opportunity to go to the other side to sell, develop and produce, I really loved it. But I must confess that when I was very young, I had this job for Saturday Night Live, was a special time. And it turned to New York is where I come from. I try also to bring Nathan in the show!
