) will direct the Billions pilot, to be filmed in New York in early 2015.

Fans of SoA knew how bad Tara was until her demise in last season’s finale but Maggie Siff was so good on Mad Men.

Actually, Maggie Siff was arguably the best actor in SOA. Her scenes with Katey Sagal were always so deliciously great because they were two great actors going head to head. She had so many great scenes. Remember Season 4 – “Hands” – the scene in the hospital with Jax. God, that was so so great. I loved the character of Tara and Siff was excellent in the role.

Absolutely agree. Tran clearly doesn’t speak for everybody.

You people are crazy. I go by my own rules so don’t test me not even if Jax from SoA is going to mess you guys up.

Tara was my favorite character – even in Season 6. All the hatred directed at her character was ridiculous. She suffered Skyler White syndrome – a strong, opinionated female character that dares to defy her criminal mastermind of a husband. Oh no! Siff was perfect for the part – probably a little too perfect because she acted circles around the rest of the actors.

One of her best scene’s was in the prison visitor’s room. All alone. She cried perfect timing to the slam of a door

Tran you don’t speak for every SOA fan. Tara is/was my favorite character on the show. Glad Maggie will be back on our screens again.

Love Maggie Siff and have been really missing Tara on SOA.

Good for Maggie Siff nice to hear she’s coming back on tv. Wish her all the best……4ever SAMCRO bitches!!!

I miss Tara so much on SOA. I hate that we have to look at the gross ex-junkie and her overdone face versus beautiful Tara.

To be fair, Wendy is like 50 or something (the actress) and Jax/Charlie Hunnam is like 30ish. Maggie Siff is older than Hunnam but she just has a very youthful face. I think they cast Wendy/Drea because she had a very “hard” look – like she looks very very rough, and she plays the junkie part well. I do think Tara was the best female character on the show alongside Gemma and unfortunately the show has suffered without her.

Wait, are you serious? WHOA. I seriously was convinced Drea was closer to 50. Damn. She has not aged well. Maggie Siff looks like she is in her 30’s – that’s crazy. She does have a very youthful look. I didn’t know she was older than Charlie.

YAY TARA! I love her. She’s so beautiful. Siff was great on Mad Men too.

I definitely miss her on SOA. I’m really only hanging in there because it’s the final ride.

Love her. I missed her/Tara dearly during the last season of SoA.

That is a killer cast, hopefully the writing lives up to those three powerhouses.
