Two Mayans Not On Gamstop:- Sons of Anarchy fans were aware that flashbacks weren’t something the show strictly avoided, yet it still came as a bit of a shock when one of their beloved characters returned on Mayans MC.
Sons of Anarchy cast member Kris Coates is not the first Sons of Anarchy member to make a cameo on Mayans MC, but his scene with Marcus Alvarez, another character from the show, may have been his most memorable.
Sons of Anarchy’s Kim Coates Returns to Mayans MC
Fans had been eagerly awaiting the return of Sons of Anarchy’s Kim Coates for Mayans MC. She played one of the show’s key characters — Tig — and had been absent since season four’s “Papa’s Goods.” So when FX announced that Coates would be returning for another chapter, it was an exciting development.
The upcoming season of Sons of Anarchy and Mayans MC promises plenty of action-packed scenes, with both sides planning a war against each other. Plus, all our beloved regular characters from over four seasons are back for another thrilling adventure!
In addition to Coates, Sons of Anarchy season 5 will welcome back Angel Reyes (Clayton Cardenas), Chibs (Vince Gilligan), and Happy (Sean Beach). In the series’ promo for season 5, EZ (J.D. Pardo) appears ready to wage war against the Mayans.
There are a few new characters joining the series, such as Lincoln ‘Linc’ Potter (Ray McKinnon), who works for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Charming and is in charge of a joint agency task force investigating SAMCRO, Real IRA and Galindo cartel cases. He’s an ex-Marine turned drug addict; his motorcycle and biker attire cause Gemma to wonder if she knows him personally.
Other returning characters include Skeeter (Bob Rusch), an employee of Dubrowski’s Funeral Home who delivers body parts to the club; Filthy Phil Russell, a guard for their first shipment of cocaine from Galindo cartel; Venus Van Dam, an ima Tite who seeks rescue from her mother; and Charlie Horse from Wahewa Native American tribe.
The series also introduces a number of new characters, such as Gilly (Vincent Vargas), who expertly folds Coco’s casket and hands it to Letty. Furthermore, as the series progresses, more members of Sons of Anarchy will return – including Creeper (Joseph Raymond Lucero), who confessed to all crimes committed by the club in the season four finale. While it remains uncertain whether this will be his last appearance on the series, it’s certainly exciting to have him back on board!
The Sons of Anarchy Season 4 Finale
Sons of Anarchy is a show about a group of outlaws who are driven by their passion for riding bikes, but it’s also a series that reflects its time. Director Kurt Sutter drew from literary traditions and his own experience as an American actor to create an antihero drama with a deep moral underpinning. It’s a series that appeals to a broad range of audiences, from the anti-hero fanatic to the highbrow theater buff.
When the Sons of Anarchy MC is released from prison in season 4, it seems like a reset might be on the way. Jax (Charlie Hunnam) might get his revenge on Clay (Ron Perlman), Tara might finally come to terms with her past, and Gemma might lose her grip on the club.
Then, just when it seemed like everything was heading in a positive direction for the motorcycle club, something unexpected happened that made things completely turn around. It turns out that Clay had actually been working with the Irish, and they would only deal with him if he killed Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam).
As a result, Jax had a choice to make: He could kill Clay or take over as President of the Sons of Anarchy. He chose the latter, and his decision was a shrewd one.
It’s clear that Jax’s choice had a lot to do with his relationship with Wendy (Drea de Matteo), who was once a problematic drug addict and has since turned her life around. She helps Jax find his way and gets him back on track with his life, which includes his newborn son Abel.
He’s also helped Tara put her life back together, and even saved the Mayans’ war chest when they were threatened by the IRA. And, as he told Jess during a collective meeting, it’s the love of his family that keeps him going.
All this is in the context of a gruesome, bloody and emotional Sons of Anarchy season 4 finale that left viewers with more than a few bodies on the floor. It’s a truly stunning end to a show that has been acclaimed by many for its grizzly violence and darkly comic storytelling.
Sons of Anarchy’s Jax Teller Returns to Mayans MC
Sons of Anarchy was one of FX’s biggest hits, a biker drama loosely inspired by Hamlet that featured plenty of plot twists and gory scenes. Despite these shortcomings, though, Sons of Anarchy always held an alluring appeal.
Sons offered its anti-hero leads plenty of opportunity to shine, yet still delivered plenty of drama with intense gun battles and explosions. That kind of violence was a trademark feature of Sons, as was its focus on complex family dynamics that often ran parallel with the motorcycle club storyline.
Kurt Sutter needed to determine how best to position his spin-off series Mayans MC within today’s television landscape in order to make sure its new protagonist would be captivating and captivating. With that in mind, he set out on creating an appealing character for viewers to root for.
In this instance, Sutter needed a lead character who stood apart from Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam), the motorcycle club heir apparent who served as the series’ anchor. So he chose JD Pardo for the role of Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes – an ex-convict.
Similar to Jax Teller, EZ is a troubled gangster with an uncertain future. He began as an intelligent student with great prospects of success but then got involved in criminal activity and ended up behind bars.
Jax Teller was raised in a close-knit family, while EZ has had to navigate life alone after being separated from his parents. Despite this, he’s an incredibly intelligent kid with excellent photographic memory and reading abilities.
Though he may not be quite as charismatic a lead as Jax Teller, EZ still holds some intriguing potential. After getting to know him better, it becomes evident that his potential is immense.
Finally, Mayans MC does have some strong moments but lacks the kind of hook that will entice viewers to tune in each week. As a result, it feels more like a continuation than an exciting new start.
Sons of Anarchy’s Marcus Alvarez Returns to Mayans MC
Last Tuesday, Sons of Anarchy concluded its fourth season on FX and brought back a fan favorite character from its original pilot: Kim Coates reprised her role as Alexander “Tig” Trager – an SOA veteran who played one of the main characters during its original run.
On Mayans MC, Coates’ character was joined by fellow Sons of Anarchy veterans Marcus Alvarez (Emilio Rivera) and Jax Teller in two scenes. The two men engaged in a brief discussion about putting an end to the conflict that had divided both sides during the series’ early seasons.
The Mayans MC had once been an enemy of SOA, but eventually formed a partnership to share profits from heroin production. Unfortunately, SOA took back their weapons and destroyed one of Mayans’ heroin factories as part of its revenge strategy.
Now that the Sons of Anarchy have been forced to share their guns with rivals, they could potentially lose control over their club. But if Alvarez and his merry band can keep the club alive, they may yet again claw their way back up the ranks.
He’s even considering running for President of the club if it means regaining his Vice Presidential status and creating a true brotherhood within the group. But he is uncertain if he is up to the responsibility.
Alvarez reluctantly accepts Zobelle’s offer and exchanges her drugs for guns to smuggle them to prisons around Charming. Additionally, Alvarez promises to provide security for Zobelle in order to safeguard her interests.
Nestor arrives at the Galindo Cartel warehouse and spots Hobart’s decoy vehicles used to fool people into thinking they are with Galindo. Nestor also needs Miguel to help transport Luisa, but his plan backfires when Alvarez discovers his own gun in the car.
Alvarez, known in Spanish as El Padrino, had his own club back home in Oakland. He served as President of the Mayans MC during their charter there and earned a reputation for being a dangerous, hard-drinking leader who often used violence to dislodge rivals.
