Castle fans, we finally have something to satisfy our curiosity until September 19th. ABC has just released the promotional photos for the season 4 premiere, entitled "Rise", and it looks like things will get very intense. We see everyone (and I mean everyone - Lanie, Ryan, Esposito, Alexis, Martha, Castle, Josh and Papa Beckett) at the hospital so it will probably be a really tense few hours until they know Detective Kate Beckett is out of the woods.
We know that Castle and Josh will get into a fight (and I am super curious as to who is going to be the instigator; I also hope Castle kicks Josh's ass) and I can't wait to see the repercussions of that particular development. From the pictures, it looks like we will see Kate at the precinct at some point during the episode. However, if she is going to be back to work already is still unknown.
"Rise" will pick up just a few minutes after the explosive season 3 finale "Knockout" left off with Kate being rushed to the hospital (you can watch a sneak peek here). In case you don't remember, "Knockout" dealt with another development in Beckett's mom's case and we found out that Captain Montgomery was part of the conspiracy. In the end, he died to save Kate's life, which didn't do much good because she got shot in the chest while delivering his eulogy during his funeral. And of course, while she was busy bleeding out on the ground, Castle told her he loved her.
I know. It's been a really long summer.
Also, in case you missed, check out the promotional photos of the cast for season 4 here.
Castle returns with an all new season on September 19th, at 10pm, on ABC.

Looks like there's alot on the table,I'm counting on AWM to run the multiple story lines to their conclusion and in continuity. We can only wait to see how successful he is. Hopefully better than last season when stories disappeared only to reappear later out of the blue. It still sounds exciting.
Don't count on RC kicking DMB's ass, the Dr. is a really big guy. I don't think they could make it look credible. From the pics it looks like DMB shoves RC against the wall, and Alexis goes off on the Dr. Which may mean Alexis is going to start to assert herself into her dad's affairs.
Sounds good to me, as long as AWM keeps everything in continuity, and completes the subplots.
