He has also demonstrated a strong attachment and respect for Beckett, commenting to Castle that he has never known anyone who can comfort the victims of violent crimes better than Beckett and arguing with the governor to accept a deal that would have allowed a known drug trafficker to walk free when he offered information that would have allowed them to capture the man who murdered Beckett's mother (although the deal was revealed to be fake when it turned out that the drug trafficker was the killer).

In "Dial M for Mayor", she encourages Beckett to perform her duties objectively and dispassionately, stating her attitude in IA and Homicide was not because she hated police officers but because she works hard to hold people accountable so NYPD officers like her father, uncle, and subordinates can bear the cost of serving the people of New York free of corruption. However, she hasn't been above getting Beckett to date other men as well ("The Third Man"). Beckett is left shocked in silence as she simply looks at him.

Shaw later comments on Beckett's emotional isolation and tells her that Castle genuinely cares about her. The new season opens moments after Beckett is shot and Castle has made his declaration of love for her. Working alongside Beckett gives Castle a new source of inspiration, and after assisting Beckett with the case, Castle takes the opportunity to use his knowledge and skills, and his close friendship with the Mayor, to stay on with the NYPD in a consulting capacity. Castle's jealousy isn't limited to Josh. She confesses to Castle that she is frustrated by his frequent absences, although his dedication to helping the less fortunate was what initially attracted her to him, and she pursued the relationship because it allowed her "to keep one foot out the door." Little is known about Ryan's family except that he grew up in the Bronx with an unknown number of sisters, only one of which has been named and seen in season seven, one of whom has a son, as Ryan makes reference to a nephew who loves the Captain Underpants book series.

In "Heroes and Villains", they encounter another writer/cop team, who have consummated their relationship, and Beckett's advice to her counterpart is to encourage their romance. But when Vaughn asks her if the relationship is serious, she hesitates. Detective Tom Demming (Michael Trucco) is a handsome robbery detective with whom Beckett briefly becomes involved.
