Brendan Hines to Guest Star on CASTLE

Lie to Me (Fox) - 208_blackfriday_002

Brendan Hines (Lie to Me) is set to play the role of Alex Conrad on CASTLE, TVGuide.com reveals exclusively. The character Alex is “a first-time mystery writer who owes some of his debut novel’s success to a glowing review written by Castle (Nathan Fillion).”

The episode in question has Castle and Beckett investigating the murder of a swimming star. As any good mentor would, Castle invites Alex to the precinct. But Alex is much more interested in what Beckett (Stana Katic) has to say about being a police detective, than any words of wisdom from Castle. Castle is ready to put up his dukes when he sees how “willingly and intimately” Beckett treats the new author as a confidant.

Josie Loren (Make It or Break It) and Justin Bruening (Knight Rider) also appear as guest stars in this episode. Both are treated as murder suspects. Bruening plays the victim’s swimming coach, while Loren plays the victim’s former girlfriend.

Titled “The Dead Pool,” the episode featuring Hines is scheduled to air in April. ABC’s Castle airs Mondays at 10pm. And as an extra bonus, the spring premiere of ABC Family’s Make It or Break It is on March 28 at 9pm.

LIE TO ME*, I love the show’s concept. But you can always know that by the end of the episode that they will find who lied and that’s it. No plot twist or interesting continuing story. (the Lightman group going broke and rich again episode by episode is not a interesting continuing story.) Also Lightman is to cocky at times, which piss me off and the supporting characters just take it every episode from him the writers of the show make them weak and boring. I watch the first two season of the show and I barley know anything about any other character about their lives or twist stories. They need to step up and make a continuing story to a bigger plot like the other shows on T.V. that is not getting canceled (House, Bones, even V has a better story arc in my opinion) Also, what happen to Ben Reynolds on the show he is weak, too honest for the show and really avoids taking risk, so Lightman has to take it for him but never gets in trouble or sued for his crazy actions, this add to the shows lack of a interesting plot . At the end of your hour of watching; Lightman finds out the he is always right doesn’t some any remorse, then yells and treats his colleague like crap cause he is an ass and last doesn’t ever get the girl Dr. Gillian Foster because he is too afraid to be wrong. Next episode the same thing happens again; You wonder why no one is interested anymore about this show, because its Lying to you that it will change to something unpredictable and interesting.
