Castle's Stana Katic Says Castle and Beckett Will Get "Super Close"

Fans of ABC's Castle have been yearning for Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) to seal the deal.

Katic teased to EW.com that all their sexual tension and chemistry may come to a boil on January 10, 2011.

Stana Katic: "They are going to get super close in episode 13. Closer than they've ever gotten before. I'll leave you with that. They are meant to be. I think they can be a couple and still be spicy and funny. Everyone else is like, 'Oh no we can't do that. That will ruin it. That will kill the show.' [A Moonlighting] curse has come up. But no way, man. Don't believe in it at all."

Castle airs Mondays @ 10pm on ABC.

Lee Tergesen to Guest on ABC's Castle

OZ alum Lee Tergesen has been cast in the potentially recurring role of Gates, a shrewd, hardened, and violent felon who becomes the prime suspect in the big “3XK” serial-killer investigation on ABC's Castle.

Tergesen first appears in the seventh episode, when Castle and Beckett ID him as the Triple Killer (aka 3XK), a serial murderer who strangled six women four years earlier and has now struck again. But, Gates turns out to be more than a match for Beckett and Castle.

Castle returns Monday, September 20 @ 10pm on ABC.
