Martha Rodgers

[Richard Castle Fan]

Susan Sullivan as Martha Rodgers: Rodgers, an actress on and off Broadway, is Castle's mother and lives with him and Alexis. She helps her son through the difficulties of raising a teenage girl (even one as mature as Alexis) but also has an active social life of her own. She lives with Castle partly because a previous husband absconded with all her savings. She is free-spirited and often gives Castle valuable advice regarding Beckett.
