Castle said:I just think it's kind of hilarious how much people are reading into Jose's teasing.. I suspect he was just trying to get us excited about the ep, not give us any hidden messages…

and while it's fun to speculate, I think that Beckett being a liar is as likely to happen as my joking comment the other day about Beckett & Castle having the same father. Just NOT going to happen, so out of line for the show.

Writers in writers meetings throw stuff around and off one another just like we do as fans trying to figure out the plots before we see them air. I haen't read fanfic so I don't know what that is all about guessing stories of Castle and Beckett we will never see on tv correct???

I doubt Beckett will be a big liar or a drunk, just throwing things out there I did say it was a long shot. Also I am sure the wrtiers love getting us talking about the show that's a win win for the series don't you think.

 I think after reading all our posts we may just find good things come out of #13 and not bad and twisted.

I love Beckett & Castle characters and I am one of the few who want to see them as a couple before we go five or six seasons if we are lucky enough to get that far in TV land. Any movement forward in their relationship I welcome but I am guessing we will go forward and backwards through a few seasons lol! Looks like no Castle episode again until Jan.2nd correct no Monday episode tomorrow night?

Remember she told him about her Mother in season one episode 5, lots has changed since then for her and Castle. She hasn't said anything about drinking so that wouldn't be a lie. Sometimes people side step issues and information on themselves. In last night's episode Kate actually lies to the doctors wife and says someone in the dept lost notes and they were talking to the doctor again to make sure they got everything right .That was a lie, sometimes it happens. She didn't want to upset the wife or the son, and so she went along with the doctors wishes and told a lie. I don't think her not telling Rick about her past is lying, she said her Father was a recovering alcoholic and told him this one time not over and over again.

 I said it would be a long shot twist if it did happen to be her instead of her Dad. Also not unknown for a family to have more then one person who is a heavy drinker or an alcoholic. I hope Kate's character isn't but her Mother was murdered and I could see someone turning to drugs or drink to numb things, Kate seems to strong a person to do this but she did go to counseling because she almost couldn't handle it.

I honestly don't think this is a possible scenario, while she didn't say she was an alcoholic the fact that she helped her father climb out of the bottle would indicate that she would have had to be in a sounder state of mind. If she were also in that bottle with him she'd hardly be in any state to help anyone.

This personal revelation was a surprise I think to Castle AND Beckett. It was only after solving a crime that mirrored her own tragedy that she was able to even go to such a painful place and for her to tell Castle was a generous gesture of trust in him. We know Beckett is not a "sharer" as Ryan has told us, so for her to make that revelation, unbidden is quite a big step forward in their relationship. For me it would be also out of character for her to use that opportunity to lie -especially since Castle, while curious, was not pressing her for details.

I'm not saying she is incapable of lying; of course she does. But look at the context in which she does it:

She's lying to save the Doctor's wife any unnecessary grief since at that time they weren't sure the Doctor was guilty of anything else than lying about his alibi. When she lies it's either to get the suspects to tell the truth, from leaving town, or to shield someone from the hurtful truth.

As is, Beckett is presented as the quintessential ideal of today's professional woman. She's quirky, but she's smart and strong without being masculine.  That is why to "suddenly" have her lying (even by omission) will be such a disservice to such a strong character IMO.

What if Beckett's dad killed her mom? I mean it's possible

This has crossed my mind more than once, but again, it seems like such an easy out. I mean, in general, doesn't it always seem to be the spouse? I don't think the writers are headed in that direction, but yes, I've totally considered it as a possibility.
