With grateful thanks to roving reporter Sally Allan for the scoop on Michael Greenburg’s panel at London’s Film and Comic Con this morning:
Greenburg confirmed for fans that series lead Richard Dean Anderson, who plays General Jack O’Neill, will be appearing in just *4* episodes total in Season 9.
Season 9 has yet to be officially confirmed by Sci Fi Channel and MGM.
Amanda Tapping, who plays Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter, is expecting her first child and will be returning to the show in March 2005. It is not known how this will affect her appearances in the episodes filmed during the first half of the season.
