10 Stargate Characters Who Vanished Without A Trace

1. Louis Ferretti

Louis Ferretti is one of the few members of the original team that stepped through the Stargate to survive, returning to the SGC along with Kawalski and O'Neill, leaving Jackson behind on Abydos. Of this group, he is the only member of the team to have never died on-screen, though he has had a few brushes along the way. So, that begs the question, where the heck did he disappear to?

Following the death of Kawalski, he was given command of SG-2. Later that year, he was ordered by General Hammond to seek and retrieve SG-1 and return them for court-martial. They had illegally travelled through the Stargate, believing themselves to be the only ones capable of stopping Apophis and Klorel's invasion of Earth.

Though Ferretti suited up with the rest of the team, he was unable to go anywhere, as the gate wouldn't connect. SG-1 had traveled, unbeknownst to them or anyone else, to a ship that contained a gate, rather than a stationary world. This ship then took off into hyperspace, meaning there was no longer anything at that address.

That was the last time that Ferretti was seen in Stargate, despite a couple of name drops along the way. Perhaps it was his willingness to capture SG-1, or simply O'Neill's insistence on being the only face left from the soldiers who traveled to Abydos. Whatever the actual reason, poor Major Ferretti ended up on the cutting room floor.
