"Castle" Does Daytime

Nobody can ever accuse Nathan Fillion of disparaging his soap roots as Joey on "One Life to Live". He not only returned to the soap after enjoying prime-time success, but he has welcomed many soap stars to his current hit, "Castle".

Now, "Castle" is doing an episode that's an homage to daytime called 'One Life to Lose.'




TVLine reports that in the show, Fillion's Castle and cop partner Beckett investigate the homicide of a soap opera writer. "As they work the case, watch for multiple stars from ABC's own sudsers to make appearances."

The stars won't be playing themselves, but fictional versions of actors on the fictional soap. The soap episode of "Castle" is slated for March 21.

Now that sounds awesome. I too applaud Nathan Fillion for always embracing his soap roots and not forgetting where he came from. :cool: :D
