‘Castle' Fans Tired, Frustrated Over Co-Showrunners Terence Paul Winter, Alexi Hawley's Rick, Kate Split Explanations

"Castle" fans have become extremely tired and frustrated from hearing co-showrunners Terence Paul Winter and Alexi Hawley's explanations about Rick Castle and Kate Beckett's split.

Just recently, Winter and Hawley spoke with TV Line to once again urge fans to stick around at least until season eight's fall finale episode.

Hawley said that he hopes fans will understand why it was necessary for them to split Rick and Kate up very early on in the season.

"Here's what we're hoping: than when we get to a certain point in the season, which in theory could be the fall finale (airing Nov. 23), you could look back at the journey and appreciate it maybe a little more than you might have," Hawley said.

Unfortunately, fans are no longer buying the co-showrunners' explanations and justification.

One fan @Kim R wrote, "As a showurnner, I would think the goal would be having your viewership enjoy the episodes as they are happening and not having to look back at the journey to appreciate it. Even in times of angst between characters, if the storytelling is well written and makes sense I'm sure most fans are more than willing to go along for the ride."

Another fan @Just one thing wrote, "Wow. These are guys are firmly entrenched in the 'DELUSIONAL' category. Fascinating."

@Sam wrote, "I really don't get it. The point of a TV show, especially one like Castle is to enjoy every episode."

"Castle" season 8 will air its fall finale episode on Monday Nov. 23 at 10 p.m. on ABC.
