The eighth season of "Castle" will feature a new character named Hayley, which will be played by actress Toks Olagundoye. According to Vine Report, there is a possibility that Olagundoye's character will cause major trouble between Rick (Nathan Fillion) and Kate (Stana Katic).
As a security specialist on the show, Hayley will be working closely with Rick, and this could cause some tension between him and Kate. The latter, on the other hand, will be trying her hand in politics, so she will not have much time to spend with Rick.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview with TV Line, Fillion urged fans to stop worrying too much about his character's relationship with Kate. According to the actor, the changes in the lives of Rick and Kate will be crucial to the success of the show. The actor also acknowledged the fact that some things need to change in order to make sure fans will continue watching the ABC series.
In other news, "Castle" recently went through some grave changes before the series was finally confirmed for another season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, actress Penny Johnson Jerald will no longer return to reprise her role as Captain Victoria Gates. Showrunner David Amann also confirmed his departure from the show a few days later.
Amann has been replaced by Alex Hawley and Terence Paul Winter. The new partners recently confirmed that they will be shaking things up a bit. "We just want to get in there and try to tell some really dynamic stories. Going into season 8, it feels like it's time to shake things up a little bit."
Meanwhile, despite Katic's return to the series, it was recently confirmed that her character Kate will not appear in Season 8's premiere episode. "Castle" Season 8 will premiere on ABC in the fall.
