After going on a long hiatus, fans are now waiting for news on the upcoming episode of "Castle" Season 8.
Ecumenical News reports that showrunners Alexi Hawley and Terence Paul Winter revealed that the production for "Castle" Season 8 episode 9 is already ongoing, and it will focus on Rick (Nathan Fillion) and Kate (Stana Katic) who will pretend that they are still separated.
According to the report, the episode will have a twist which only allows the couple to be together in private. There were also rumors that Kate will be pregnant in the second half of the season, but the showrunners quickly dismissed the idea. They added that there won't be any chance that the couple will have a baby even in the future of the show.
Meanwhile, they also revealed that in episode 14 of the season, Rick will be working with his daughter Alexis (Molly Quinn) and will fly to Los Angeles to work on a murder case. They added that Rick's new partner Hayley (Toks Olagundoye) will also join them.
The showrunners revealed that the case they will be working on will bring the characters back to Rick's disappearance in the wedding that was held in the previous season. Hawley revealed that Kate may have something to do with Rick's previous disappearance.
International Business Times reports that Hawley explained that the comeback episode will also deal with Rick's disappearance in Season 7 and fans will learn the real reason and what happened when his memories were wiped out. Hawley explained that they have not yet finalized it, but they want to create a story which will answer the questions the viewers had when Rick went missing in Season 7 and why they had to air it during the previous season.
"Castle" Season 8 will return to ABC on Feb 1.
