I didn't realize she (Katic) was Canadian, I only remembered her for roles where she had european accents, and thought she had to study up to do an 'American' accent.

Stana Katic was born in Canada but both parents are from the former Yugoslavia (Serbians specifically). She and her family later moved to Illinois.
4 years later and still love the show. It has actual personality and they've done a pretty good job of keeping it interesting after they hooked up. Something even Moonlighting ( ) didn't do all that great a job with.
There have been rumors for a few years that Fillion and Katic don't get along behind the scenes, so this isn't surprising. I had a feeling when they brought the other P.I. in that it may be a sign they were gonna branch out a bit. Now I wonder if they are gonna kill off Beckett and have the short 9th season be Castle hunting down her killers.
I was one of those people who disliked this show, especially the female lead actress who was just awful. I'm hoping that if they're changing things around, I'll enjoy it because I seriously like the main actor.
My Sig Image: hath rid itself of this mortal coil.
I passed on watching this for a long time, because it looked like another Bones style show: Some crime solving, and a relationship that takes entirely too long to come to pass on the part of the two leads.
Having watched most of the first five or six seasons now, it's pretty decent, and seems to have held together better than Bones did.
Can't say I can see me watching the show going on without Beckett. Of course, I wasn't keeping current on it anyway, mostly just caught whatever episodes were being re-shown at some later date.
