Martouf could have made a return to Stargate SG-1 in the fifth season, but JR Bourne, who plays Martouf, could not commit to it because of a busy schedule. During last weekends Gatecon JR Bourne told fans that he was asked to return to the show for the two parter Summit and Last Stand, but had to decline due to a scheduling conflict.

In Season Four's Upgrades Martouf was killed by Sam and they never really had a chance to say goodbye. The return of martouf would have given Sam her chance to say a tearful goodbye to Martouf.

Actor J.R Bourne will appear in a feature film called, 13 Ghosts, which is about a Doctor who leaves his house to his broke nephew, who moves in with his daughter. With the house come two unexpected pluses (or minuses): the house has 13 ghosts which can only be seen with a special pair of glasses, and there's a fortune hidden somewhere in the house...and someone wants it. JR Bourne plays the part of Ben Moss. The film is due out in October.

The script for Summit and Last Stand will now be re-written to make it that Carter has a farewell, but only to Lantash who was Martouf's Symbiote. As you know the Tok'Ra mourn as one and love as one so what Martouf felt for Sam so did Lantash.
