MichaelShanks-Online’s new interview with Michael Shanks reveals he is contracted for 16 of the 20 episodes to be filmed in SG-1 Season 10. He is taking two episodes off to attend to the birth of his third child, his second with wife Lexa Doig, who is due in March. He’ll take two more weeks off over the summer to be with his family.
Lexa’s pregnancy seems to explain why Joe Mallozzi was evasive on the question of Dr. Lam’s future, and Michael’s reduced schedule may explain why the producers are considering a ‘controversial arc’ for one of the characters, hinted to be Daniel Jackson.
Though we’ll miss seeing him in those episodes, Solutions wishes Michael and Lexa the best of luck with their new arrival!

I’ll miss Daniel, but kudos to MS for having his priorities straight!
