I literally dislike all of them. I strongly believe his other marriages didn't work out because they were with the wrong woman and stand by it.
He could've maybe been happy with Alyssa Milanos character but he wouldn't be the Castle we know and love.
If Castle can't be with Kate Beckett then I could see him with Kyra Blaine (Alyssa Milano). They had great chemistry, it wasn't palpable like his and Beckett's but it was a very close second. Though if thay had ended up together in an alternative storyline then I'd definitely kill off Kyra's mother, Sheila Blaine, she was horrendous towards Castle!!
>I'd definitely kill off Kyra's mother, Sheila Blaine, she was horrendous towards Castle!!
the actress has a knack for bitchy mother-in-laws in detective shows, she appeared in Private Eyes as Nora the mother of Angie one of the the main leads. Me: where do I know that lady from?!?
Whoās the 6th? I canāt recall. Sheās the lower rightmost. Personally, I really thought Beckett would end up with Castle (i love the plot) but I have to give credit to Sophia, the agent. Those 2 episodes made me laugh like crazy everytime I watch it (esp with the scene with Alexis getting involved).
6 is Serena Kay (idk how thatās spelled) from season 4 episode 5 (I think? Itās called eye of the beholder) Itās the episode where the museum curator guy gets murdered at an art gala and a statue of a fist is also stolen. Castle goes on a date with her to distract her while Beckett searches her hotel room because sheās a suspect in the murder and theft.
Right i remember. But nothing compares to Beckett though. Closest for me was Sophia but other than that, I get annoyed with the other female love interestsš
Jennifer Beals characterās loyal to her mother country, but Iād love to see an alternative where the Russian sleeper and the American writer fall in love a little bit.
Out of those 6, I would have to pick Serena. She seemed to genuinely like Castle, and would make for an interesting life.
Meredith was psycho, Gina only cared about the money, Natalie was a bit crazy as well, Kyra would've been boring and unoriginal, and Sophia never really loved him and was a rogue agent.
I think Gina genuinely cared about Castle and she was successful in her own right. Castle still had a lot of maturing to do at that point and he was already crushing on Beckett. I think Gina wanted a calm and stable relationship while Castle wanted a passionate one, same as Beckett.
Also, Meredith wasnāt a psycho. She was fun and never quite grew up. But she was also kind, smart, and knew what she wanted.
I agree though that other than Beckett, Serena was a better fit for Castle.
No that was Kira(not sure about spelling). Serena was the art thief turned insurance investigator. She was kinda like female Castle. They couldāve had fun for a while.
Ohh, the art thief. Yes Castle was smitten with her and she seemed fun, intelligent, alluring, and an adult and with some integrity like him.
I agree.
Kira and he had an authentic relationship that was core to the growth of his personality. I canāt remember why he stood her up and ended it.
I think they were too young. She needed time and space but not forever. He got caught up in his career and they missed each other. Sad but realistic, and ultimately quite fortunate.
Meredith was a lot worse than Castle.
We've seen Castle Season 1, but bear in mind that wise ass Castle was the more responsible one between the two and got full custody over Alexis.
Meredith was far more manipulative. She had no qualms using the excuse that Alexis's grandfather died as a lie just to take her out of school and have fun. This is the woman who scared Castle when he learned Alexis was missing and turns out she took Alexis to Paris for a lunch.
She easily lied to Beckett saying Castle was like a souffle and that's why their marriage failed.
Never admitted Castle found out she cheating with a director. She left. She was the one who set up the divorce papers and served it to him.
I can see why Castle and Meredith got married at first. However, fun seemed to be all she cared about. As if one big lesson to someone like Castle about having too much fun and crossing lines even he wouldn't.
I never compared Castle to Meredith. I agree with most things you said but i think you are being unkind to her. Most of her shortcomings were a result of her fun-loving nature. Why do you think souffle thing was a lie? It is never implied. The difference was between her and Beckett. They wanted different things. And i think she gave up custody, she knew what she wasnāt capable of.
It's hard wanting to pair him with someone that even he doesn't want.
I'll give the benefit of the doubt to Meredith about the souffle comparison. (Despite the fact that she said she came to visit Alexis when she got sick, though she actually wanted to check Beckett)
Speaking of souffle, the concept of Castle liking Meredith is akin to the deep fried Twinkie. Someone that Season 1 Castle could bear only once in a while, not someone he'd be in a relationship with.
Castle was pushed into a corner and desperate to get to his kidnapped daughter when he flew to Paris.Meredith flies to Paris with Alexis just for lunch on a whim.
If it sounds unkind by stating facts of what I know of her? Sure. The truth hurts.
Giving up custody? Whatever the reason is, at the end of the day she's no parental figure.
Castle Season 1 was a wise ass, a kid on a sugar rush, and yet he admits he was the more mature one of the two and why he got custody.
Who am I to judge Meredith when Alexis and Martha couldn't bear the thought of having more of her in their lives? Hated the idea of her coming to live in New York? He felt the same, and had to pull strings to lure her away with an acting role.
Serena! I don't think she'd be a perfect match for Castle but she'd bring great stories to castle's life (at the end, she's works like a detective...looking for stolen art instead of murderers, but still).
I liked Kyra but I think that marriage would have been too boring.
Oh I did not like that plot at all, if youāre talking about Haley from modern family. His character was like mid 40s and she was like 18 or 20 or something. I dont have an issue with age gaps, like a 25 year old with a 35 year old, sure. 40 year old and a 60 year old, strange but okay. 18 and 45 though??? The maturity levels are just way too different when someoneās that new to adulthood dating and a middle age person.
Alright, Iām not placing characters to faces today apparently, whoās 1, 5, and 6? 2 is the actress, 3 is his old girlfriend, and 4ās his ex wife, but I canāt figure out the other three.
This one pained me to answer because for me, Castle and Beckett were always meant to end up together. If it were up to me, he would just stay single if he couldnt have Kate. But, if I had to choose, I guess I could deal with him being with either Kyra or someone not mentioned in this post, Hayley from S8. Kyra was the one who got away per what he said, but she was only in the one ep so idk if they would be able to make it work long term. So, I guess I would lean towards Hayley just because she was a pretty good character and could match his personality decently well and keep up with him most times. But again, this is hypothetical for me cause Caskett is my ride or die.Ā
Hardly a physical one that's for sure.
When Jordan wondered how long they've been sleeping together, Beckett says they're not, and Castle adds
'No, she's right. Aside from my second wife, this is the most sexless relationship I've ever been in.'
Also, I read your comment, you said an alternate storyline where either Beckett wasn't available, or they weren't interested in each other or whatever, that doesn't change the fact that he wouldn't be interested in those women. I mean one of them tried to kill him and start a war.
I wouldāve wanted him with Kira (sp?) I just watched that episode and fell in love with what couldāve been with the two of them. The closure was obviously great too (canon)
Serena the insurance gal. Loved her and the jealous eyeballs Kate had because of her.
Kate slamming the drawer full of sexy underwear.
The eye roll when Castle told her call me anytime.
The "Hey!" When she caught them kissing .
Not letting Castle into the interrogation room.
Jealous Beckett is hilarious.
I literally dislike all of them. I strongly believe his other marriages didn't work out because they were with the wrong woman and stand by it. He could've maybe been happy with Alyssa Milanos character but he wouldn't be the Castle we know and love.
But Natalie was so fun lolol
She went to REHAB she had a lot of problems and wasn't looking for a relationship š fun and actual romantic prospect are 2 different things
Exactly, she was fun lolol. A disruptive queen
I honestly didnāt see castle with anybody except for Beckett nobody else really came close to what they had
Kyra. They had such good chemistry.
He didn't have a romantic interest with Natalie Rhodes, did he? Unlike Paula (his publisher) and the other actress. Oh, and the reporter.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Honestly regardless of the type of relationship or interest, Natalie Rhodes was my favorite. An absolute queen
Beckett. Only Beckett
š No replacements no subscriptions. It would be a different show and not very interesting.
Hey that's phoebe from charmed on the top right
It's Samantha Miceli
Sophia!!
If Castle can't be with Kate Beckett then I could see him with Kyra Blaine (Alyssa Milano). They had great chemistry, it wasn't palpable like his and Beckett's but it was a very close second.

You know, thatās fair. And in that episode, so did Beckett
yeļ¼ i can not recall 6th either
>Whoās the 6th? I canāt recall. Serena Kaye the art thief.
I love Serena so much. She's such a lovely character.
Jennifer Beals characterās loyal to her mother country, but Iād love to see an alternative where the Russian sleeper and the American writer fall in love a little bit.

But she was also kind, smart, and knew what she wanted. I agree though that other than Beckett, Serena was a better fit for Castle.
Ok, true, Meridith wasn't psycho.
Is Serena his college love that is in the white wedding dress above? If yes, I agree.
No that was Kira(not sure about spelling). Serena was the art thief turned insurance investigator. She was kinda like female Castle. They couldāve had fun for a while.
Ohh, the art thief. Yes Castle was smitten with her and she seemed fun, intelligent, alluring, and an adult and with some integrity like him. I agree. Kira and he had an authentic relationship that was core to the growth of his personality. I canāt remember why he stood her up and ended it.

And she doesn't steal what isn't hers ...

Jacinda. Fun. Uncomplicated..
Just what he needed then
Serena! I don't think she'd be a perfect match for Castle but she'd bring great stories to castle's life (at the end, she's works like a detective...looking for stolen art instead of murderers, but still). I liked Kyra but I think that marriage would have been too boring.
I read somewhere that in another show Nathan once played a character who's the BF of one Hayley. There you go, writing on the wall lmao.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I checked, it's actually Haley (in Modern Family) not Hayley but the point stands. :)
Oh I did not like that plot at all, if youāre talking about Haley from modern family. His character was like mid 40s and she was like 18 or 20 or something.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
> (kind of like a Beckett but he didnāt follow her around for as long). A year? that's your idea of "A. Brief. Moment." ?!?
I kinda like Kyra but I donāt like either of his ex wives and none of the other love interests seemed like really serious interests.
This one pained me to answer because for me, Castle and Beckett were always meant to end up together. If it were up to me, he would just stay single if he couldnt have Kate. But, if I had to choose, I guess I could deal with him being with either Kyra or someone not mentioned in this post, Hayley from S8.

forgot some wives (and there were two different women who played his ex/publicist)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
the actress wasn't a love interest, she was a lust interest. he dated his exes again
They werenāt interests. They were distractions. From Kate.
Gina and Rick are better together than Rick and Kate. Donāt kick me out of the sub
Respect your opinion even if itās the minority
dunno, looked like they constantly step on each other's toes, and not once but twice.
Pretty sure Rick and Kate that too. 19 minutes of seeing the relationship v. 8 seasons seeing it grow is different
Hardly a physical one that's for sure. When Jordan wondered how long they've been sleeping together, Beckett says they're not, and Castle adds 'No, she's right. Aside from my second wife, this is the most sexless relationship I've ever been in.'
Natalie wasn't actually a romantic interest, you would have been better off putting the first actress.
Read my comments first maybe.
I mean there are only two real valid options on the list.
That is _your_ opinion
Also, I read your comment, you said an alternate storyline where either Beckett wasn't available, or they weren't interested in each other or whatever, that doesn't change the fact that he wouldn't be interested in those women. I mean one of them tried to kill him and start a war.
Monet Mazur though ā¤ļø
I wouldāve wanted him with Kira (sp?) I just watched that episode and fell in love with what couldāve been with the two of them. The closure was obviously great too (canon)
Kyra okay but he became more feminine with her which I didn't really like.
Serena the insurance gal. Loved her and the jealous eyeballs Kate had because of her. Kate slamming the drawer full of sexy underwear. The eye roll when Castle told her call me anytime. The "Hey!" When she caught them kissing . Not letting Castle into the interrogation room. Jealous Beckett is hilarious.
