A Message of Thanks from Paul

13.Apr.07 by astrumporta | Category News |

Paul McGillion has contacted us and asked us to pass along this message of thanks from him to all the fans who have supported him these past months:

Thanks to all the Carson Beckett fans — you guys are unbelievable! I’m really pleased to be coming back to Stargate: Atlantis. A huge thank you to everyone who no doubt had a big part in helping to resurrect the good doctor! I can’t wait to get back to space; my Scottish skin can’t take all this LA sunshine!

God bless you, ya cheeky buggers!
Paul xo

To which we say to Paul: we’re not done yet, matey!

    You’re more than welcome, Paul. We’ll keep fighting to get you back permanently. (I told you we were all lunatics…) I’m so pleased that you’ll be back, and can’t wait to see you on SGA again.

    ”God bless you, ya cheeky buggers!”

    A lovely Scottish phrase. Wonder what he will say if we get him back full-time?

    This was a very nice message and very nice of him to take the time to stop by and submit it!
    And I’m very glad all our efforts and exertions have paid off like this. It is a very good motivation to fight on for the full reinstatement of his character!
    Very well done and thanks to everybody who did their part in this campaign!

    The “Heart” of Atlantis is going back home.
    A Scottish proverb says “When the heart
    is full the tongue will speak”. So it has.
    All who had a part in this passion of the
    heart should be very proud. Paul deserves
    this return. All who helped deserve a
    giant resounding..Hurrah!!!! Nicely done.

    It’ll be great to have you back Paul and we won’t stop fighting til you’re back full time. The rest of my family are thrilled too - I was so incensed I was about to ditch the Sky subscription and dump the TV - thankfully we all have a reprieve now! Good luck in everything you do and looking forward to seeing you in Season 4 (and hopefully 5!).

    You’re welcome, Paul!
    We’re all very glad to have you back!
    We’ll keep fighting!

    Thank you Paul for making Carson so inspiring. SA will be what it should, at least for 2 episodes. Now lets make sure it extends to the rest of the run of the show - with Carson back lets hope SA beats SG1’s record 10 years.

    Thank you for coming back Paul!!! Can’t wait to see you on SGA again!! :)

    From a lass who loves her Scots roots and has been addicted to Stargate since the beginning and fell in love with Beckett from the first syllable he uttered, you’re very welcome, Paul. And to be fair, if you hadn’t played the character with such skill and given him such warmth and humanity, we wouldn’t have loved him so much. So thank you - for giving us a character to love so dearly.


  14. Comment by Halessa | 14.Apr.07 @ 9:42 pm

    You’re welcome Paul! We will continue tu fight for you to get you back full time to Atlantis! I can’t wait to see your smile again and hear your wonderful voice! Take care!

    I’m so happy for you return! Carson is the heart of the show and you’re a very strong actor! Thank you Paul!

    thanks paul x

    Haha. We’re not finished yet, Paul! We all love you, even us belated fans over here in Australia. We’re still up to Season Two but the devistating news has reached us already.

    My friends and I are so glad you’re coming back, even for a few episodes. We can’t wait to see Season Three and her sister, Season Four as well as other developments in the SGA-verse.

    As for SCB and all the other Carsonites - Good job, cheeky little buggars. Kudos and turtles to you all and, of course, to the stunningly handsome and talented Paul McGillion. Poor guy, having to go through all that trauma of dying in such a cheap way.

    But that aside - SQUEE. Carson is totally returning. Hope you guys all get good sleep - you’re gonna need it with all of the letter writing you’ll undoubtedly be doing reinstating him to a permanent character. Haha.

    Good luck. Fight the good fight.

    Love,
    Exangeline.

    I’m very happy to hear that Paul is comming back to Stargate Atlantis. But just a few episodes are definitely NOT enough.

    We want him back fulltime! And we are going to fight for that.

    Annie
