With only two more seasons left, following this current one, to tell the show’s story, things are getting very, very real on the hit FX drama series Sons of Anarchy. Never one to shy away from going there when the story calls for it, show creator Kurt Sutter did just that, in the game-changing episode “Laying Pipe,” opening up emotional ramifications for the rest of the season.
During this recent interview to discuss the events of that episode, executive producer Kurt Sutter talked about when he knew the character’s fate and how the actor found out, the motivations for the character’s actions, the mood on set while shooting that scene, how it will affect Jax’s (Charlie Hunnam) leadership and the emotional relationships of the club going forward, what’s to come for Juice (Theo Rossi), whether audiences will ever soften to Damon Pope (Harold Perrineau), whether a confrontation between Jax and Clay (Ron Perlman) is inevitable, and why seven seasons is the right amount of time to tell this story. Check out what he had to say after the jump, and be aware that there are spoilers.

On Season 4 of the popular FX drama Sons of Anarchy, viewers are getting to learn more about the personal history and relationships of many of the SAMCRO members that they’ve only gotten to catch glimpses of, up until now. Once such character is Juan Carlos Ortiz, otherwise known as Juice, who has been a fan favorite since the series debuted. As things heat up and loyalties are called into question, Juice will be more in the line of fire than ever.
During a recent interview to promote the series and talk about the evolution of his character, actor Theo Rossi hinted at what’s ahead for Juice, how pleased he was to learn about the direction things would be headed in this season, that Juice isn’t the typical biker but that doesn’t make him any less loyal to the club, and that what he’s learned from his co-stars is invaluable to him, both personally and professionally.

While the club is faced with a decision that could challenge everything they’ve always stood for, Jax (Charlie Hunnam) is forced to start thinking about what’s best for his family.
