For those of us in the UK, we can hope that one of the film channels "might" take it up, but afaik we don't have a dedicated "Hallmark" channel over here - unless I've missed it - so we will have to "look out for it" elsewhere I guess....

Other news...both Michael and Richard Dean Anderson are headed to Armageddon Expo in both Christchurch and Manukau, New Zealand at the beginning of March....along with doing a double photo op, they will be appearing on stage together at one of the panels...they won't be quite alone for it as Corin Nemec will also be appearing with them.... *tightly seals lips*

There are many other variations on panels, photo ops etc and as I don't have the resources to travel to New Zealand sadly I haven't made a complete note of everything.....if you head to this link it will give you the different links to click to find out any info...

Hopefully some pics, video and/or a transcript of this interesting panel will emerge once they have attended...

On top of good news, comes sad news...

Michael has now cancelled his appearance at Armageddon Expo, New Zealand giving "change in filming commitments" as his reasons....Christopher Judge will now replace him with RDA and Corin Nemec (who has also cancelled one of the venues he was due to appear at)

Some nice stills and bio now up on Hallmark Channel's webpage for Michael's MOW "Hearts of Spring" which looks like it will air around the March-April time...the dates seems to be a bit "wobbly" for this atm...it's either end March or first week in April...sites tend to differ with the info atm...

And guess who's playing another Doctor?

WOW!!...Gateworld sure is dead now....I think that it won't ever recover tbh.....oh well, I plan to celebrate this week because lots of importance to me happens......so we'll start 3 days back...


On March 19th it was Samuel David Shanks' birthday...I have had the pleasure of sharing the company of this lovely young man and "apple of his daddy's eye" 2 years ago on the Walk for MS in Vancouver...he didn't want to walk, but daddy spared him the "exhaustion" a lot of the way, whilst I held his coat...*snerk*...

Happy 10th Birthday Sam!...Daddy loves you....

Thanks for sharing all of Michael's new updated news Deeds!

I just found Saving Hope on Ion TV here in Virginia, late at night on Fridays! So excited to start watching it! I feel like I know the storyline from all of the posts that you have shared over the last few years-THANK YOU!

It's 10 years to the day that I first met up in real life with some of the truly great Hussies on this thread...we all attended the 2006 Vancouver Convention - for many of us our first - and had the most awesome time.....I'm sure if you trawl back through the pages you will find all the hilarity of that weekend....

I miss you guys very much on here...I know we've all moved on to other things and places but I will NEVER forget the profound effect you, and the Stargate Fandom had on me a decade ago in Vancouver.....


HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY HUSSIES!!!

HERE'S TO ANOTHER DECADE OF FRIENDSHIP!!!

So 10 years ago today I got my first ever photo op with Michael Shanks...see post above ...

I also saw him on stage and at the Saturday Night Dessert Party....

All at Vancon 2006...

Sort of got me hooked on going to see him at Conventions...for 9 solid years I saw at least once a year until 2 years ago...I last saw him at Fedcon 2014 and haven't been able to meet him, or go to a Con since (apart from a quick 1 day trip to LFCC) ..I hope it won't be my last but at least I have many happy memories of meeting him...

Saving Hope Season 5 begins filming in Toronto today..

http://www.etalk.ca/news/2016/april/...avinghopes5SOP

Michael will once again be directing an episode....something which he seems to be getting very good at...a great "actors' director" which seems to be the consensus of his fellow Saving Hope cast mates and friends from his previous episodes..


Check out the various Saving Hope actors', writers', fansites' etc Twitter accounts and the 3 Facebook pages devoted to Michael...his official MSOL one and the Michael Shanks Appreciation Page and Michael Shanks Spoiler Zone.....Michael is fairly quiet atm but I'm sure will be ramping up those Tweets very soon...

We wish them all well for Season 5 and a peaceful Summer in Toronto...

A GORGEOUS new picture of Michael, taken by his co-star Benjamin Ayres on location for the filming of Season 5 of Saving Hope....Ben has been taking a lot of "night shoot" shots this week of his various co-stars and location surroundings...and as S.4 ended on a cliffhanger and this pic "might" be considered spoilery I'll hide it....but those that dare enter the spoiler tag, enjoy.....

Smoking hot...literally

And props to Ayres, indeed fine work behind the camera.

Short Q&A with Michael re directing an episode of S.3 Saving Hope, which is showing on both ION TV in the US and Sony Channel UK atm....it also uses the Behind the Scenes interview with him on the S.3 DVD and shows him in "Director's Action"...

Of which he's pretty damn good I must say.....Double Jeopardy was always one of my favourite episodes of SG1 and he jumped in the deep end with his first ever directorial debut and did some amazingly difficult work with all those scenes with the SG1 team and their robots....I applaud him...and the Saving Hope eppys that he has directed have been excellent as he gets every last ounce out of his acting team, who from their comments obviously LOVE being directed by him...a true Actor's Director imho...may he do much much more in the future.....just as long as we get to see him on both sides of the camera equally of course
