Further proof that Castle is growing into something of a hit: The guest stars are getting more recognizable!
Ex-Charmed sorceress Alyssa Milano has signed on to play a former love interest of Nathan Fillion’s title character, sources confirm to me exclusively.
Here’s the sitch: Castle reconnects with Kyra (Milano) on her wedding day and sparks fly. Beckett (Stana Katic) picks up on the obvious connection between the two of them, setting up a fun little love triangle.
Milano’s episode, titled “A Rose for Everafter,” shoots next week and will air in early 2010.
Castle recently received a full-season pickup from ABC.

This is a fun show that keeps getting better. I like Milano, hopefully it’s a good episode
Oh the puns! “Charms?” *shakes head*
I can see it.
I can’t give my opinion until I see them together on scree but I agree this show is getting better!
First off, LOVE THIS SHOW! I’m so glad its doing well and is finally getting some recognition. I enjoy Alyssa Milano and look forward to her with Fillion. The fact that it sparks a little jealousy in Beckett is an added bonus!
Can’t wait to see jealous Beckett…
OMG! I love this show! Nathan is such a FUNNY guy! I’ve followed him from One Life to Live up until now! It’s SO nice to see him FINALLY making it!
Yeah, not that excited about adding Milano to the mix. I’m pretty happy with Castle as it is, and my last experience with Milano was her guest spot on “My Name Is Earl”… right before the show got axed.
And by “right before,” you mean that it ran for another entire season before getting cancelled, right?
I really disliked most of what they were doing with the show during the time she was on it, but your chronology is wrong.
My name is earl got bad when he stopped doing list items.
thin, you’re absolutely right. I suppose what I meant by “right before” was actually “right before I stopped watching the show for good, even if it remained on life support for a fourth season.”
Couldn’t agree more. Castle is working just fine without adding Milano to the mix. Barf.
Like the fact it will make Beckett jealous, not thrilled with the choice of actress…but maybe that has to do with ME being jealous
Nathan Fillion is hilarious! His eyebrows are probably my favorite “character” on the show
Love him, love the show. I can always count on it to make me laugh at the end of a long Monday!
It’s always a good thing when your titular character is one of the most likable ones… A lesson “Heroes” hopefully learns sometime soon.
One of my favourite shows this season and Fillion is amazing! His partner in love and crime is a bit dour though. So this pairing with Milano might stir things up
I ♥ Castle! Such an entertaining hour of TV!
I don’t have anything against Milano, and I liked Charmed, but this sounds like stunt casting. I’ll be watching no matter what, though, and hoping that Milano nails the role.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Not Alyssa Milano!!!!
Surely to god they could have cast some one less irritating and who could…well, ACT!!!!
I will have to see this episode before I can give it a pass/fail, but it’s definately starting with -5 out of 10.
Good thing that most people don’t agree with your views on Alyssa milano…..
She has been on three long-term shows – Who’s the Boss, Melrose Place and Charmed –for about 18 years or more out of her 37
so obviously, she can act.
<3 Nathan Fillion!
I watched 2 early episodes… ugh were they hard to sit though, and can’t blame the actors with such poor writing, directing. I wanted to like it, maybe I’ll check out the newer episodes and see if they’ve ironed out those horrible wrinkles.
Definitely check it out again. I know what you mean about the beginning episodes, but Castle has gotten better and better with each new episode!
I agree. I did NOT watch all of last season, maybe the last 2 eposides, that did catch my attention but didn’t think I would come back and watch this season, I caught an episode about a month ago and now I am hooked! It has gotten better, maybe they have different writers, I don’t know, but this is one show I didn’t want to like but did!
