Like Father, Like Daughter: Joelle Carter Guest Stars

We're not sure Boyd Crowder's going to be happy about this casting news.

Justified star Joelle Carter has booked a guest role on ABC's Castle, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

On Castle, Carter — who plays Ava, the wife and co-conspirator of Walton Goggins' criminal kingpin Boyd Crowder on the critically loved FX drama — will portray Maggie Ingram, the long-time girlfriend of a death row inmate who is on the verge of being executed. Will Maggie lean on Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) to re-investigate her beau's case before he's put down? (We'll have to see if Maggie is as persuasive as Ava is with her shotgun.)

Besides her role on Justified, Carter has appeared on Grey's Anatomy, Body of Proof and NBC's short-lived Prime Suspect.

Castle returns for its sixth season Monday at 10/9c. Carter is slated to appear in the new season's seventh episode, "Like Father, Like Daughter." An airdate has not been scheduled.
