'Castle' Cast Hams It Up in DVD Gag Reel

ABC’s police procedural Castle is a comedy-drama series, but the emphasis is definitely on the comedy in the gag reel that’s included on the upcoming Season 7 DVD. Funny faces? This crime-solving cast has that skill down pat. And series star Stana Katic has no problem admitting her “messtinks.” But our favorite clip is Castle’s (Nathan Fillion) quality father-son time with… his daughter?

“What? I’m a boy?” confused co-star Molly Quinn, who plays Castle’s daughter Alexis, asks after her TV pop calls her a dude.

Of course, it’s about time Castle took notice of his not-so-little girl. Co-showrunner Alexi Hawley says Alexis feels “overdue” to be a grown-up. “At the end of the day, Castle’s relationship with her has been a little bit stuck in her being a child, and [this season] we want to get her more involved in a professional life,” Hawley tells Yahoo TV. Castle co-star Seamus Dever adds that we’ll see Alexis and Castle be more of a “fun father daughter team” for Season 8. If he can get her gender right, that is.

The Castle Season 7 DVD will be available on Sept. 1; the eighth season of Castle premieres Monday, Sept. 21 at 10 p.m. on ABC.
