I wrote this for TVOvermind about the stars of Castle!
Did you remember that Jon Huertas had an arc on Sabrina the Teenage Witch and a jerky teen witch hunter?
Did you know that both Penny Johnson Jerald and Nathan Fillion are both Double Captains, due to their previous acting roles?Find out more here: Things You Didn’t Know About the Castle Cast.
It seems fitting that these two women are called Elizabeth and Victoria. Their regality shines through them. Also, it’s worth it to note that Victoria is married, but it’s implied that Elizabeth is not—no proof really, except Espo’s comment of attraction, which is circumstantial at best. (Though it makes me nervous, because Queen Victoria is known as a famous widow who mourned Prince Albert for years after his death. Future plot possibility?) The two women create icy tension at first—and second—meeting. “Subtle chill? More like polar vortex!” Castle, of course, is intrigued. I was a bit surprised there wasn’t more theorizing as to why they didn’t speak, I wanted Castle to come up with some fun sibling rivalry stories! He bets Beckett to ask Gates, but she likes her job too much to pry.

P.S Don’t look up Prince Albert on Google without safe search. He’s only the second result!
Yesterday, I got to interview Penny Johnson Jerald (!!!), who plays Captain Gates on the show Castle. She’s awesome and really insightful about her character; it was getting really deep towards the end!
This Monday’s episode introduces her estranged sister, played by Salli Richardson-Whitfield, best known for her role on the show Eureka.
