Okay, so you probably know that I think Castle has a lot of flaws, but some things make it worth watching, and as much as I love the two lead actors, Jon Huertas & Seamus Dever have these moments when they steal the scene together as partners Esposito & Ryan. (And you know I totally slash them, right? I mean...
afteriwake kinda even ships them, & she doesn't even do slash!)
Anyway, the ABC Inner Circle thing has a video up of cast members talking about their characters... of course they interview Jon & Seamus together, & you know what they talk about?! How their characters are SO MARRIED.
Seamus: My character, Kevin Ryan, has a lot of fun with Esposito, being a partner… we’re sort of like a, uh… like a marriage, of sorts. In some ways, wouldn’t you say?
Jon: *looks confused*
Seamus: No, like a different kind of marriage--
Jon: No, yeah.
Seamus: No, I mean, not like we’re married, I mean -- that’s not legal in the state of New York… yet. Yet.
Jon: Or California.
Seamus: Or California. Yet.
Seamus: But if it were, we would be sort of like that. But more of a domestic sort of situation, like, we get along really well, we work really well, we argue really well.
Jon: Would I be able to, like, claim insurance?
Seamus: You would! You would be on my insurance.
Jon: On your insurance.
Seamus: You would be my dependent, though, so I could claim you on my taxes. Is that okay?
Jon: Yeah. As long as I’m not coming out of pocket.
Seamus: No, that’s true! I’ll pay the premiums.
......
Seamus: *talks a lot*
Jon: *checks his watch*
Jon: Bottom line is, we’re the spices: salt & pepper.
Seamus: Tee hee!
Jon: In this dish.
Seamus: Am I salt? Am I Salt, and you’re Peppa?
Jon: That’s right.
Seamus: Are you “pepper” without an r?
Jon: Peppa.
Seamus: Peppa.
Jon: P-E-P-P-A
Seamus: peh-PUH!
[at some point in there, the interviewer tries to break in with a question, but they just keep going --
their interview doesn't so much end as gently fade into the next cast member's]
