Sons Of Anarchy: 10 Best Supporting Characters

4. Lyla Winston

Walton Goggins Sons Of Anarchy

Lyla sure had some pretty rotten luck throughout Sons of Anarchy's seven-season run.

First appearing in season 2 as one half of the Saffron Sisters - porn stars employed by Luann Delaney - and almost immediately bonds with Opie.

She has a run-in with Georgie Caruso and ends up with a broken nose, to which Opie is furious, showing he cares deeply for her.

Their relationship blooms, leading to their marriage in the season 4 opener. This happiness would be short-lived.

Still haunted by Donna's ghost, Opie struggles to readjust to married life, something that is glaringly obvious to Lyla.

Growing tired of the strains put on their relationship, she packs up and leaves.

She still loved Opie though and is absolutely crushed upon learning of his death in jail.

After Jax and Nero enter a partnership, she becomes a front-of-house worker and escort at Diosa. Her bad seems to persist, as she is held captive and shot in the leg by Frankie Diamonds.

From here her screen-time diminishes a bit but remains a quirky likeable girl in every appearance.

In the final two seasons, she unintentionally gets involved in a torture porn shoot, and from then on she strides to get out from in front of the camera, becoming a director for the club's new porn business instead.
