7. Should: Venus Van Dam

Another instance of a character that should be brought back in part because of how talented the actor is that played them, Walton Goggins is one of the best performers of his generation.

Wanting to do something different when he teamed up with Sons creator and showrunner Kurt Sutter again, since they both worked on The Shield, Goggins pitched the character, Venus Van Dam. At first seeming as though she was destined to only appear once, right from the start the interactions that Van Dam had with Tig Trager lit up the screen.

Played with total commitment by Goggins, Van Dam has to be considered one of the best transgender characters in the history of TV, especially since there sadly isn’t much competition.

While that is one major reason why she should be brought back, that is not why it would be great for her to make at least one Mayans MC appearance. Instead, seeing Trager and Van Dam happy together even if they were just spotted happily shopping in the background of a scene would be delightful.
