In reply to: Hope - ep was a lot of fun 's message, "Meredith cheated on him we learned that in S1. So think he left her because of it. She didn't bother to tell Kate that. I think she feels hasn't learned as much about Castle or tried as hard as he has to learn those things about her and time to change that. We don't know as much about him as her, I think that is what they are going to start learning more what makes Castle who he is." on 06:06:54 01/10/13 Thu

She always seemed to be flighty and self-absorbed. Her obsession with shopping being a prime example. At least that was the impression I got about her from the older eps, and the way she was "reintroduced" in this ep seemed to reinforce that. Prior to Monday's ep, it wasn't far-fetched to assume that she had an affair because Castle didn't pay enough attention to her. That is, sadly, a common reason for affairs, and her preoccupation with herself would lead one to that assumption.

So when she said that the marriage fell apart because she felt like she couldn't get Castle to open up to her, despite her opening up to him, it just seemed way out of character for her. It was a mature and thoughtful statement--one that I would have expected from his *second* wife, not from his first. The second wife being the editor or publisher or whatever she is struck me as being more intelligent than the first shopoholic wife.

do we know how long he was married to either ex-wife? (NT) -- rachel, 08:21:36 01/11/13 Fri
- I do not believe we do. We do know Alexis was very young when Meredith left so figure maybe 5 or 6 six years. Have no idea with Gina but figure not more than 5 but that is just my guess. (NT) -- Hope, 21:17:06 01/11/13 Fri
What's really funny is that he seems to love to shop too? (NT) -- MarilynM, 10:26:56 01/11/13 Fri
I think after her dinner with Kate and then this was to show us she had little more depth. Since only saw her in one other episode. I think partly true and partly doing it to mess with Kate. She may had felt neglected so decide to have an affair. (NT) -- Hope - just hoping a little more to Meredith if Kate had fun with her, 21:27:08 01/11/13 Fri
- I agree that they were trying to show us she had more depth, but I believe Castle has made more than one reference to her shopoholic tendancies. Or maybe I'm misremembering again. If they make her too flighty, then that could make Castle look bad for having been married to her. But I choose to believe that it shows how far he has come.

  - You make sense and true she should be happy he wants to know her. But maybe she felt he wouldn't open up to her or let her in so was a one sided relationship. To me more an excuse she tells herself as to why cheated. Did she ever try and get to know him more like he did her? Also what struck me is he knew all these things about her but never wrote a book about her but has already written 4 about Kate. I feel she was jealous so planted this seed in her head. Also believe this is a way to now have Kate pushing to find out more about Castle. (NT) -- Hope - looking forward to know more about Castle, 23:52:53 01/11/13 Fri
