All of which brings us neatly onto Queen Gertrude herself€ or is it Lady MacBeth? Gemma Teller-Morrow is a fascinating character: a violent, bad tempered narcissist with obsessive mothering tendencies, who is nonetheless also one of the most reliable and stable personalities in the show.

Brought to vivid life by one of the greatest actors on television, Katey Sagal, Gemma is a genuine force of nature. As of the end of season six, she has now helped orchestrate the murders of both her husbands and killed her daughter-in-law with a barbeque fork, leaving him bereft and her grandchildren motherless. But Gemma won'€™t care about that last part€ because she€™s always considered Jax'€™s children her children, really.

The events of the season six finale seem to indicate that, at least for the time being, she€™'s covered for the murder, rogue MC member Juice having killed the only witness and helped her escape from the scene in some moment of posthumous loyalty to Clay. This next season being the final season, of course, she isn€™'t likely to stay covered for long. Jackson will find out, and when he does Gemma€™s chances of emerging from the show unscathed drop to practically zero.

That€™'s not to cheer on her demise, however. Gemma Teller-Morrow, as much as her son Jackson Teller, is the living, breathing heart of Sons Of Anarchy, just as Sagal€™'s riveting performance is the anchor for every other performance in the show. She€™'s a scheming, manipulative, nasty piece of work, but she'€™s your mom, man. Don€™t kill her.
