The latest actor to join the cast is James Cosmo. According to TV Fanatic he will appear in a six-episode arc as Father Kellan Ashby, an Irish Catholic priest who will be forced to condone a character’s confession.

What happened to Half-Sack?
DEAD, DEAD, DEAD.
Sorry folks, I know a lot of you are hoping that Half-Sack isn’t really gone, especially with the promise of him finally passing from prospect to full patch member. But it’s been reported that Johnny Lewis was no longer happy being on the show and requested to be written off.
Alas poor Half-Sack!
Our beloved Half-Sack will go down as a legend and a hero in SOA lore. Gone but far from forgotten…
Life after Lost
Fans of the show Lost will certainly be feeling lost these days, wondering what the heck to watch now that our favorite show is gone. Joe.IE made a list of five shows for Lost fans to try to fill the cavernous void that the end of the show left. SoA was definitely tops on that list. In fact, four out of the five shows on that list is Rippin-Kitten approved (I haven’t gotten around to watching Treme yet…but I’m sure once I do it’ll be 5 out of 5)!
Katey Sagal is on Ausiello’s 2010 Dream Emmy Ballot
Michael Ausiello from EW.com made out his 2010 Dream Emmy Ballot, this one focused on the lead actor and actress in a drama series categories. Katey Sagal made it on the list of picks for Best Lead Actress (Drama). He wrote: “(Sons of Anarchy) Season 2 sent Gemma to hell and back. Heavenly!”
I think we would ALL be happy to see her at the Emmys and even more thrilled to see her take home a statue! She definitely deserves it.
