Mayans MC Boosts Sons Of Anarchy Character’s Episode Count
The universe of Sons of Anarchy broadened significantly with the introduction of the spinoff series Mayans M.C.. This expansion allowed one particular character from Sons of Anarchy to outshine even the lead, Jax Teller (played by Charlie Hunnam), by featuring in more episodes than him. While Sons of Anarchy delivered a sense of closure for its main characters and hinted at a brighter future for the infamous motorcycle club, it left many untold stories within this gritty world. The spinoff, Mayans M.C., shifts the focus to the fictional border town of Santo Padre, highlighting the titular motorcycle club, while still incorporating familiar faces from Sons of Anarchy.
The gripping narrative of Sons of Anarchy chronicles the turbulent journey of Jax Teller, who ascended from the role of the club’s Vice President to eventually become its President. However, his tenure was marred by challenges that ultimately proved detrimental to the club’s well-being. Jax’s tumultuous relationships with rival motorcycle clubs, coupled with his intricate family dynamics, culminated in his tragic demise at the conclusion of Sons of Anarchy. This left the leadership of the SAMCRO motorcycle club in the hands of Chibs Telford, portrayed by Tommy Flanagan. Although Jax was the central character throughout the entire series, the spinoff Mayans M.C. introduced new dynamics and allowed another character closely tied to Jax to surpass him in overall appearances across the franchise.

Gemma’s Notable Appearance in Mayans M.C.
Among the pivotal characters in Sons of Anarchy is Jax’s mother, Gemma Teller-Morrow, brought to life by the talented Katey Sagal. As the widow of one of SAMCRO’s founding members and the wife of the club’s president, Clay Morrow (played by Ron Perlman), Gemma wielded considerable influence within the club, earning her a status akin to royalty among its members. Her character was marked by a complex blend of cunning and ruthlessness; Gemma often resorted to extreme measures to safeguard her family, regardless of the devastating repercussions her choices might have on those she loved. This blend of loyalty and manipulation made her one of the most compelling and controversial figures in the series.

While Clay, Jax, and Chibs are often seen as the club’s leaders, Gemma’s true influence revealed her as the secret driving force behind the club’s operations.
In a shocking turn of events during Sons of Anarchy season 6, Gemma crossed a moral line when she mistakenly believed that Jax’s wife, Tara (portrayed by Maggie Siff), was planning to betray him and the club. In a moment fueled by panic and desperation, Gemma committed the unthinkable act of killing Tara in her own home. After the deed was done, she deceived Jax by claiming that a rival gang was responsible for Tara’s murder, which set him on a violent quest for vengeance against the innocent. Once Jax discovered the painful truth, Gemma understood that her fate was sealed, leading to her eventual death at the hands of her own son in the penultimate episode of Sons of Anarchy. Notably, Gemma’s presence lingers on as her corpse is featured in the series’ final episode.
