Although a brunt of the season 6 chatter for ABC's hit crime series, Castle, has revolved around the up-and-down romance between Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic), many loyalists of the program are undoubtedly curious as to what lies ahead for Ryan's (Seamus Dever) impending fatherhood.

Castle Set To Face His Fair Share Of Controversy?

Det. Ryan will become a dad for the very first time. However, the momentous occasion won't be without its fair share of mishaps.

Dever had spoken to TVGuide about the obstacles his character must face before meeting his offspring.

"Not only does it look as though Ryan may not be there to watch the birth of his child, he may not live to see the baby at all," he said.

The entertainment site also went on to report that Beckett and Lanie (Tamala Jones) will be the ones to lend a helping hand to Jenny (Dever's real-life wife, Juliana Dever) when she goes into labor.

Katic even had a little fun at Jenny's expense with the situation.

"At one point, Stana was joking about eating the placenta," Julianna admitted.
