"Castle" Season 8 is set to premiere in more than a month and photos showing Toks Olagundoye as Hayley have been released. Also, details about the changes regarding Martha's life have been revealed.
In an article by Entertainment Weekly, photos showing Toks Olagundoye in the set of "Castle" have been uploaded and this is the first time that her character in the show as Hayley Shipton will be seen. In the photos, Olagundoye is seen looking over her shoulder as Rick Castle stands not too far away from her.
It was previously reported that Hayley Shipton is this free-spirited and quick-witted independent investigator who will be joining the cast. However, it remains unclear if she will be working alongside Kate Beckett or Castle in the show. According to the show's executive producer, Alexi Hawley, the character of Hayley is dynamic and fun and it's something that the show does not have. Hawley added that she does not do police work the way that Castle does it adding, "She doesn't do things that way, so that fun dynamic of, 'No, we break in rather than get a warrant,' is kind of fun."
Hawley also revealed that Hayley is not that rough as Adam Baldwin is, who will be returning to reprise his role as Detective Ethan Slaughter. She also teased that fans of the show will be seeing more of Hayley working with Castle than Beckett working with her husband since she was promoted as the new captain. Hayley will also be a mentor to Alexis in "Castle" Season 8 and she will be like an older sister to her, The Inquisitr reported. As for Alexis, her relationship with her father Castle will be much more different as she is no longer a little girl.
As for Martha, she will be moving out but will still be around in "Castle" Season 8 to share her wisdom with her one and only son, Castle, Carter Matt reported.
"Castle" will be returning with new episodes on September 21 on ABC.
