"Castle" Season 8 is set to return soon although the filming for the upcoming episodes has not started yet. However, the fans of the show have been shocked as it was announced that Captain Victoria Gates will no longer be part of the show as new characters will be introduced.

The ABC drama "Castle" is said to be looking for a new character from the Los Angeles Police Department. As per report of IBTimes, the producers of the show are looking for an African-American or Hispanic actress that is in her late 20s in order to play the role of a security specialist. The publication added that the new character might be in relation to the character of Stana Katic, who is Kate Beckett, as she might be needing the security staff as she is in a senatorial bid.

"Castle's" Kate Beckett did say back in the finale episode of season 7 that she is pondering on running for New York State's senator. The new character will be a series regular for a fraction of time but it has not been announced yet who are the possible actresses lining up for the role, Carte Matt shared.

As for Captain Victoria Gates, played by actress Penny Johnson Jerald, she will be exiting the eighth season of the show as it was announced in her Twitter account. She wrote: "To my Castle fans around the world, as of late yesterday I am surprised and saddened to learn that I will no longer be a part of the Castle family. Thank you all for your support and love. Hugs from PJJ."

There has been no explanation regarding this yet as producers and the actress have kept mum as to why she left the show. Fans are saying that Captain Victoria Gates' exit was made in order to give way for Kate Beckett's character to have a promotion at the New York Police Department.

It is also rumored that Beckett will be pregnant with Castle's baby but no further details have been announced regarding this yet.
