Partly because I just finished watching the Heart of Gold episode of Firefly, where Inara's friend (can't remember her name) became Mal's lover the night before the big shoot-out. Then she was killed in the gun-fight.
Yes, there is a point to my ramblings. What are the chances that Castle's writers will find it expedient to kill off this new love interest after his arc is over, especially if they become intimate? Is that the usual fate of the expendable/temporary love interest in Hollywood? Your thoughts?
You and I are kind of on the same wave length. I was actually thinking "what if he is the stalker?" :O

insomniac hit on one point that resonated with me – I think Castle would initially be jealous and upset that Beckett has a love interest, but I also think that eventually he'll come around and back off and let the relationship play out because he wants Beckett to be happy. If you pay close attention to how he acts around her, you'll see he definitely likes to be VERBALLY flirtatious, but other than the peck on her cheek in the premiere, he has been a gentleman and not tried to do anything PHYSICAL that might cross a line with her. And he has matured quite a bit since he began working with Beckett. So I think he'll back off, not whine (maybe tease though), and do the right thing. Then when the 4 story arc is over and Mr. Whoever is out of the picture, Kate can look back on Castle's reaction and be even more impressed by him.
And to all those who are also in love with Dean Cain – I SAW HIM FIRST !!!! 
: :smile:
And to whoever said that Beckett has been a little harsh on Castle and that an apologetic moment would be called for, I agree. It could work like this – Beckett could begin dating this guy, keep it a secret from Castle, who finds out (maybe Ryan blabs something or Castle walks in on Beckett & Mr. Whoever having an intimate moment over the espresso machine) and gets mad, tells her how hurt he is, and storms out. She thinks it over, goes to him and apologizes. He apologizes for acting like she owed him an explanation, but she cuts him off and admits that he's become a good friend, he's been honest with her, and she owes him the same. Hmmm…sounds like an idea for a new fan fic.

Maryc – You took the words right out of my ‘post’!
(hi – been stalking – no pun intended – here for a few weeks, since I really got invested in Castle and wanted to see if there was any scoop out there on them getting together – you guys all post great info & insight – very entertaining, interesting and intellectual! Better than any English class I had (12 years ago) dissecting a great book!)
So I was watching my DVR tonight of the last few airings of Castle – including ‘Double Down’ and the scene with Castle & Alexis hit me like a ton of bricks and I just had to scope out a place to post this theory:
What if Alexis’ troubles with Owen this season are a foreshadowing to Kate and ‘upcoming love interest/STALKER’ Todd?
Follow me…
In S1E7 – Castle & Alexis are fencing, and they have a conversation. Castle starts: ‘you’re holding out on me, robin, I hear you like a boy’ ‘ I knew she’d tell (Martha)’ ‘so who is he?’ ‘his name is owen, he’s in my poetry class, he’s very shy and very sweet’ (‘keep your guard up’ ‘then don’t distract me&rsquo
‘does he know how you feel about him?’ ‘no!’ ‘why not?’ ‘because I don’t even know how I feel about him’
Then in S2E2 – Alexis is taking Owen to Serendipity to have ice cream, because of all that is going on (he stood her up at show in previous episode). Next scene: she says to Castle: have you ever had something you think is so great turns out to be so wrong? While we were out, a girl came up to him, claimed she knew him, he didn’t remember her at all, but she says they went to camp together & then they spent the whole night reminiscing – how can I compete with that? Last scene: Alexis is explaining – it was too big of a coincidence, turns out that the girl was making the whole thing up, she had a friend that went to that camp, that’s how she knew all that stuff, she made it all up just to get close to him, it BLEW UP IN HER FACE!!???!!!
So, substitute Alexis for Castle, Owen for Kate, girl from past for Todd – new detective/love interest/stalker.
Maybe Todd weasels his way onto a case to meet Kate (obsessed with her or Nikki Heat from book – do we know?), has done his research and has credentials of a cop (or is actually one) says he was in the academy with her, she doesn’t remember him, but he remembers all the crazy things that happened, they get work-friendly, working on a case (maybe of her stalker, who HE is), he tries to ask her out. She casually refuses, but likes hanging out with him OR they do go out but he realizes how much Castle is in her life OR he just notices from working the case how much of a threat Castle might be – decides to send Castle/Beckett a message and blows up her apartment, maybe leaving notes as a stalker, but also acting as the cop/co-worker/friend. Maybe audience knows he is stalker, or maybe we don’t – he’s a nice guy to her, maybe Castle is ignorant too, or knows something is amiss – doesn’t know what, so doesn’t want to throw accusations around. Eventually we find out that Todd is stalker, is arrested, or better yet, dies…guess who will need to be comforted? There is your four-episode arc of Kate Beckett’s new love-interest.
Way out of left field?

I'm still in the camp that would like the love interest to be a good guy (I'm seeing lots of opportunities for Castle to be displaced…new guy is bringing Beckett coffee, Beckett is ducking out early to see new guy/comin in late, Beckett is getting flowers sent to her at work, and worst of all…Beckett may be discussing cases and working through them with new guy).
But I can see the appeal in making him a bad guy/stalker as well. I just don't think he'll be the stalker of the double episode 17/18 because the timing doesn't seem right. I think they have finished taping 17/18 and new guy hasn't been hired yet. I'm not sure they'd do another stalker storyline by the end of the season.

Definitely not a stalker. But another kind of a bad guy is quite possible. What about the possibility that he might be associated with the ones who hired Coonan to kill Beckett's mother?

That's what I wondered in an earlier post. It would be the perfect opening for them to circle back to her mom's case. Since I'm assuming this new love interest won't go beyond the 4 episode order it makes sense to have him be a bad guy. It's a reasonable amount of time to introduce him and give him an exit while serving a purpose other than being used as a gimmick to keep Castle and Beckett apart.

Great minds think alike 
Also, Stana said in the interview that Beckett's mom's case will be touched again by the end of the season.

With the new posts about Castle's marriage in other topics, I suddenly remembered that in episode 101 Castle said he used the advance payment to divorce Gina. Meaning the divorce is fairly recent. And the way they talked, it was not an amicable one. I've been a bit judgemental when it comes to Castle's badmouthing of marriage and ex-wifes… but when I think about what he has been through recently with Gina I'm willing to cut him some slack. But it also explaines why he's not looking for anything serious at the moment, and thus is making no move on Beckett.

oooo having him some kind of a bad guy? I say that'd be pretty cool! As long as none of our favourite people get hurt too badly…

I'm in the dude is a good guy camp – I'm not really interested in a crazy stalker storyline right now. Besides, there's been too much Kate abuse – how abouts some angst for Castle?
Yeah, I doubt this so called love interest of Kate is a stalker. I mean, for one thing we are already getting a stalker/fan crazed fan of Nikki Heat in the two=parter with Dana Delaney and I doubt that they will do the same thing for the May sweep, where this guy comes in.
I'm thinking he's a guy who maybe working on a case that Kate happens to be working on too. Maybe her Mom's. Something will come up in her Mom's case that will be brought up again this season, as Stana indicated on her radio interview.

Marbs84, if that does end up being the case and new guy is somehow involved with something to do with Beckett's mom's case (or even if they are dating when something new comes up and Beckett confides in him), I would think that would be a particularily troubling thing for Castle, since he has been intent on working her mom's case with her. Especially now that Beckett told him she wants him there when they find out who did it. Ouch! I remember Stana mentioning that in the interview, too.

True. I do think if that is the route they take with this new guy in Beckett's life and this will eventually maybe make Castle step back, becasue he's hurt or feels betrayed in a way becasue he is suppsoed to be that guy that helps her through this. But then this possibility could also lead us with what some are hoping for, in Beckett being the one to make it up to him or be the one apologizing.
But then again, Ausiello describes his as alove interest but that doesn't necessarily mean Kate would feel the same for him. Or that she would actually have a relationship with him. I think he would be the one interested in her but as for Kate, we don't know yet.
Maybe we will get a cliffhanger where it's Castle who walks away this time. Hmmm. I think the two fanfics I wrote are mixing with the possible plotlines I would like Castle to have. hehehe

He wouldn't have to be a crazy stalker to be a bad buy. It could be he was a rookie who worked one of the cases back when her mom was murdered. If he didn't help cover something up maybe he knows someone who did. It doesn't necessarily make him a bad guy but maybe he knows something that he's kept quiet about all this time.
The only problem I have with him being a good guy is that we know he isn't going to last. So if they play him as a good guy then I hope he has no connection with her moms murder case. It's taken how long for her to put trust into Castle? No way do I want to watch her do the same with some new guy in 4 episodes. It wouldn't be consistent with her character. If they play it as some fun flirtation, a date or two, and then he's gone because both feel it isn't going to work fine.

Now that I have had time to look at this rationally,I can't see Beckett being involved with anyone but a good guy.She is too savy and not prone to jump into anything.She will have a good relationship with this guy….but,he just won't be Castle.She has an investment in Castle that's more that their relationship. They have been through the good and bad times together.(his family has accepted her with open arms)
I agree that this will give time for Castle to see Kate as a desireable woman in another man's eyes. He will have to reassess his personal feelings and focus on what is now a very real and desireable Kate Beckett.The banter will be hilarious.Will she be intimate with the new guy,probably,but she is not a kiss and tell kind of person.
The 64k dollar question is how will the parting be handled? I see it as the new guy sees the relationship Beckett and Castle have as an insurmountable obstical to him for Beckett and him to be more to each other that a romantic interest. Just saying! It could be a mutual parting of the ways after he sees Beckett as not willing to totally give up her Castle.I could be totally wrong though.
