Castle‘s foundation has been shaken. The series’ creator, Andrew W. Marlowe, and the series’ former writer, Terri Edda Miller, have responded to ABC’s recent dismissal of cast members Stana Katic and Tamala Jones, TVLine reports.
Several of the show’s stars, including Nathan Fillion, have already posted their immediate responses to the casting changes.
On Twitter, both Marlowe and Miller expressed dismay at ABC’s decision to let go both Katic and Jones:
Heartbroken. There are no words. #nmc

Apparently, cast members Jon Huertas and Seamus Dever have also been let go. ABC has still not announced whether or not Castle will return for a ninth season.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Castle? Would you still watch the show without Katic and Jones?

I will not watch without Stana, they changed everything and the picture will not be the same no happy ending. Seem to me they could have gone on with more about them as a couple. Very sad for us fans.
I will not watch without Stana
AbC does what ABC does best. They stink.
The show will not be the same. The story is not achieving the original writers idea. Don’t think I will want to watch it now. Its been destroyed.
No, will not watch. A shame, it is a good clean show. ABC messed up big time. V
I have always loved Castle, which without the full cast will do a slow, agonizing slide into the dustbin of history. A quick death will be far less painful to loyal viewers. Do what ABC does best — just cancel the show already!
I really enjoyed watching this cast of characters interact, dropping Stana was bad enough but Terri too will prove a death blow to this popular show. Clearly ABC intend that to happen.
I love Castle and Nathan Fillion. I think the show could go on without Stana but I don’t think they should I think they should finish it on a happy ending for Caskett as they both deserve to be happy. It will always be the best programme on TV for me loved it from the start to the finnish
Simply heartbreaking to hear Stana & Ms Jones are not renewed. ABC I will no longer watch your network! Whoever you have in charge seems to only pick mediocre reality, & dumb sitcoms & forget when a show like Castle comes along
to treat it like the treasure that it was. It may have been called Castle but most of us watched it because of Stana. Fans from all over the world adore this woman and ABC hasn’t a clue!!
Some at ABC sure needed to be fired, but it was not the cast of Castle. Might as well cancel the show – you just killed it anyway.
Now Espo and Ryan too? What is wrong with these people???
The drama revolves between the interaction of the five characters. I can’t imagine the serie can continue without any of them. It just won’t be the same probably not worth seeing.
