Just off the heels of a tragic ending to season 6, fans of FX's Sons of Anarchy are undoubtedly wondering what lies ahead for the the recently widowed Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) and the rest of SAMCRO.

It was recently reported that the Sons leader's ex Wendy (Drea de Matteo) was upped to a series regular role, as she'll surely be more of a presence in the life of her son Abel now that Tara (Maggie Siff) is dead, according to TVLine on Jan. 7.

Although Wendy will be around, it's still unknown as to whether she'll serve as someone of comfort to Jax, or if she'll just serve to push him further off the emotional deep end.

"It would be difficult to get rid of characters like Tig and Juice and Chibs, especially with Opie gone. They feel like family to people. You have to be very careful not to be arbitrary in terms of who lives and who dies," he said.
