Apparently, someone who's been with the show since the beginning is getting killed off in the season finale. My guess would be Martha (Castle's mom). She's hardly ever in the show. Anyway, does anyone know if any of the characters have anything else going on, like a different show, etc?

Well, they don't have that many characters.

Castle
Beckett
the two male detectives
the captain
Castle's mom
Castle's daughter
the female coroner

They're obviously not killing off Castle or Beckett, and I doubt they'd axe the daughter (she's young, she's cheap, she's cute, she brings the father-daughter dynamic). I can't see where they'd kill of either of the two detectives since they're the "buddy cop" roles. I don't think the female coroner's been there from the beginning. So, IMO, the two best candidates are Castle's mom, or the captain. I think his mom also adds a dynamic to the show (and a comic element) so I think it's going to be the captain. They (i.e. series producers) like to throw new bosses into a show to shake things up slightly (e.g. The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, CSI, Bones).
