There is more than one side to any major decision. Not only between the possible outcomes of either choice, but between the people involved. Life changing decisions generally affect more than one party. Thus, it’s essential to take the emotions of others into consideration.
As the series premiere of “Castle” rapidly approaches, fans are desperate to see whether Beckett will move to DC to pursue her career, or stay in New York. To make matters more complicated, there’s a proposal on the table. If she chooses to leave New York, she’ll leave behind her potential fiance, Castle. What many fail to realize, however, is that Castle plays an equally important role in the decision. Beckett won’t be the only one affected. Castle’s feelings are just as crucial to the show.
“He asked his question out of emotion and passion and the circumstances of the moment,” Andrew W. Marlowe said during an interview with TV Guide. “He was challenged to think about what he really wanted in life. His preferred version is that he has this woman in his life.”
Fans know that Castle has already been through two unsuccessful marriages, so fans question whether or not he’s ready or mature enough to take on the commitment. “I think he very much likes to think that is the case,” Marlowe said. “But he is who he is…”
Luckily for anxious fans, Beckett will address the proposal in the premiere episode. The decision will shape the remainder of the season, so naturally it must be made early on.
"There are four possible outcomes and each of them have their own particular consequences," Marlowe said in a separate interview. "There's no version of this that's easy and that they live happily ever after - even with the good stuff."
If she takes the job, she leaves love behind. If she accepts the marriage proposal, she gives up a life changing opportunity to work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. "How can she makes any choice without giving something up? She'll have to sacrifice something," he added.
"Castle" returns to ABC September 23.
