After a two-week hiatus, "Castle" Season 8 will be back for a new episode which will air on the second week of November.
Latin Post reports that Adam Baldwin will be returning to the show. It was reported that Baldwin will be reprising his role as Det. Ethan Slaughter in the new episode of "Castle" Season 8.
It was revealed that Baldwin's character will be working side by side with Richard (Nathan Fillion) to solve another mystery. The last time the character was seen in the show was back in Season 4, in the episode titled "Headhunters." According to the site, Richard and Ethan seemed not to be on good terms as the "unconventional detective's" ways seems to rub Richard the wrong way.
In the past, the character was described as someone crazy because of his violent tendencies toward the suspects. Many viewers believed that his crazy ways nearly got Richard killed in the episode, and this made Richard vow not to work with him again. However, now that his wife Kate (Stana Katic) is being distant with him, it seems he will need a partner to work with this time. Is this Richard's desperate move to win back his wife?
Master Herald reports that most fans do not like how the things are going between the couple, and the site believes that this is the reason why the show has been going downhill with its ratings. There were speculations that the couple will be reuniting once more in episode 8; however, there is still no confirmation about that from the executives.
Co-showrunner Alexi Hawley announced that the show won't be following the annual Christmas-themed episode this year, and the network is letting them do eight episodes for this year, to end by Nov. 23, before the show comes back in the beginning of February.
"Castle" Season 8 episode 6 will air on Monday, Nov. 9.
