Casting News for Season Four
SCI FI WIRE has featured Atlantis in two recent articles:
Atlantis’ Dr. Beckett May Return? – Robert C. Cooper comments, “The fans were very vocal about his departure, and we understood that he meant a lot to them. We’re working on a storyline that may see him return temporarily. If it works out creatively—if what the fans like creatively and what we like creatively syncs up—that’s great.” Visit the rest of the article for more from Cooper and from David Hewlett about the death of Carson Beckett.
Firefly’s Staite Joins Atlantis – Jewel Staite’s Dr. Jennifer Keller “may develop a romantic relationship with one of the other characters and will become friends with Carter,” according to this article. Also in the article: Carter will be the new military leader of Atlantis, and Cooper points out, “In fact, when she joins them she’s a full-bird colonel, and she’s a superior to [Lt. Col. John] Sheppard [played by Joe Flanigan], so there’s really not much he can say or do; she’s his superior officer.” Carter’s stressed relationship with Rodney McKay will also be addressed early in Season Four.
