To Castle Executive Producer, Writers, Cast and ABC
A Writer and his Muse. What's is really behind their love story
and why we are so thrilled by it.
You know when we look at
someone as Rick Castle it's possible to consider a kind of stereotype. A very
successful, rich guy who loves to party, women and he has no limit
to control himself (just look at his police file). But even guys like him,
used to get everything, tend to get bored. That was exactly what happened 8
years ago.
When Rick Castle decided
to kill his so-called golden mine Derrick Storm, he was looking for something
new. He needed a fresh start, a new challenge. That's why when he heard the
bossy and firm words from her, he got intrigued.
Kate Beckett just presented
herself as a professional NYPD detective, but in that particular moment he was
hooked. He got interested. Not that it was love at first side, no. What drove
Castle was the story. The copycat murders and the detective. Although she
looked very good at her job, he knew the reason she was there was related to
something else. Right there, he decided he would like to spend more time to
discover the mystery behind that beautiful woman. And the inspiration that has
long gone was back. He wanted her to be his muse, the new character in his
book, he used his connection with the mayor to get what he wanted. Beckett, in
the other hand, hated to know he'd be following her around because he was the
most irritating, childish, annoying, disobeying person she's ever met.
The unlikely duo
relationship at first became one of the most important partnership of their
lives and it would change them in different ways, taking them out of their
comfort zone, leading them to do unpredictable things.
As time goes by, you
start to see Castle as a Prince Charming kinda
guy. Well, think again. This is not a fairy tale, this is indeed a love story,
but to get the real meaning you have to read between the lines, the small
details, the hidden signs.
Why does it fascinate so
many people?
Because it's the story of
two imperfect people trying to make their way in life, they suffer, they get
betrayed, they struggle through their path always trying to do the right
thing.
Each one of them in their
own way evolves intellectual and emotionally. Solving cases, putting killers
behind bars and fighting for justice. And when they are together, it's like
magic. They are perfect.
As Kate Beckett said
herself she had a wall, a certain avoidance in her actions that tends to push
people away. She doesn't want to suffer the way she did after her mom's murder.
Defined as broken, she´s messy, fearless, brave and fragile in all sort of ways. She goes day by day serving justice for families.
Unfortunately, she could get the justice she wanted for the most important case
in her life, not without Castle´s help. She has this passion for the truth,
she´s eager and capable of great things but it drives her like an obsession.
She needs it, as a protection for hiding her personal feelings. For the
first time in a decade, Castle was the one who challenged her, poked into the
wall trying to break it. How? By showing how extraordinary she was, saving her
life many times, risking himself for her, loving her with all his heart.
It took four years until
Kate realizes that it was not about the books anymore, to see what's in front
of her, to ask herself what she really wanted, to finally accept she deserves
to be happy, to admit that no one has ever loved and cared for her the way
Castle does.
And you know what?! This
is a real relationship with bumps in the road, crisis, past history coming knocking
on their doors. Yes, they fight, they help each other, they get jealous, they
have ups and downs just like we all do in our lives. That's the true meaning
behind it. Because at the end of the day, she found someone who's willing to
stand at her side, to thick and thin, to trust completely and to love. He's her
partner in crime and life, he's her best friend, her lover, her solid ground,
her true north, her writer.
Yes, he's still goofy and
childish sometimes (something she loves about him), but he knows exactly how to
get her, press the right buttons. He´s kind, ruggedly handsome,
lovely good man. He´s stubborn and also can be the one spoiling her. He can be serious without lose the tenderness. He'll do anything
for her.
True love is a powerful
thing, when you´re capable of doing everything for the other, you put yourself
in the other shoes. When a look means more than words, when a touch (handshake)
or a gesture (a cup of your favorite coffee) is all it takes to calm you down
and show that you´re not alone. The definition of OTP can be explained by the
imperfect who leads two people to perfection. That´s Caskett.
Andrew Marlowe and Terri
Edda created two strong and well-developed characters making us falling in love
for their passion, adventures, their personalities. We laugh, we cry, we cheer
and we die every Monday as if we were part of their lives.
It´s all about the story.
Always a chain of events that makes everything make sense (Marlowe, 2009) . Their story is far
from over. There are still many roads to explore, many turns to take. Castle
taught us about friendship, partnership, love, justice and trust. Don´t kill
the magic.
After all, we are just a
bunch of remarkable, maddening, challenging, frustrating people seeking to
inspiration in the eyes of our muse and comfort in the words of our favorite
writer.
Let it be endless while
it lasts. Make it last. Caskett represents how the obstacles we face in our
lives can be overcome proving that we can´t and won´t give up because at the
end of the day, every sacrifice, every step along the way is worth it. Always.
That´s what great love
stories are about right, beating the odds? (Grae, 2011)
With Caskett love and
gratitude to the most amazing Cast and crew on television.
