Rumor has it that season 3 of SOA will hit FX September 7th. So until then, you can pre-order Season Two
Casting news: a familiar face returns
Filming for season three of Sons of Anarchy is well underway and we’ll see the return of a familiar face. Taryn Manning will be returning as Cherry, who we haven’t seen since season 1. A while back on Twitter Kurt Sutter indicated that she secured a role on the reboot of the Hawaii Five-O series. I guess it’s not as big of a role as first thought.
Taryn Manning will be reprising her role as "Cherry" on season 3 of SOA
Fancast reports that a storyline involves the Belfast charter of SAMCRO, populated in part by Keith McGee (to be played by Aussie actor Andrew McPhee, ‘Pirate Islands’) and Liam O’Neil (Arie Verveen, ‘Sin City’). Liam, a source revealed, is “involved” with Cherry.
If you’ve forgotten, when we last saw Cherry she confessed to Gemma that her real name was Rita, she was still “sorta married” to an abusive husband, and she was wanted for grand theft and arson. After narrowly escaping police custody and saying goodbye to boyfriend Half-Sack, she went on the run and disappeared.
Emmy hopes for sons of anarchy
The nominations for the Emmys will be announced July 8th and there’s a lot of buzz and hope surrounding some of our favorite actors on SOA.
Gemma stole the show in season 2, episode 2 "Small Tears"
Opie in episode 2.10 "Balm"
The obvious nomination we’re hoping for is Katey Sagal as Lead Actress in a Drama Series. There’s also a lot of buzz that Ryan Hurst may have a good chance at being nominated as Supporting Actor in a Drama. *fingers crossed*
Chuck Zito files $5M dollar lawsuit against FX
Chuck who? Chuck Zito, former NYC HA, body guard and “actor”, has filed a $5 million dollar lawsuit against FX, claiming that “Sons of Anarchy” was his idea. According to TMZ, Zito claims he entered into an “implied-in-fact contract” with FX which guaranteed if they used his ideas for a TV show, Zito would be “reasonably compensated and afforded appropriate screen credits.”

So when FX began developing “Sons of Anarchy” in 2006, Zito got pissed claiming that SOA was “substantially similar” to his show idea.
Kurt Sutter is spewing brimstone and hellfire about the lawsuit in his latest entry at SutterInk.
“Before I dissect the claim, let me say that I know guys like Chick [sic]. He tried to file a legal claim a few months back and it was so preposterous that I believe FX legal simply dismissed it. So he’s pissed and he’s desperate. What we are witnessing now is his “plan B”. And it’s outlaw mentality in full gear. He will take his bogus claim and shop it to every celebrity rag and website hungry for topical gossip, he’ll go on Celebrity Justice, TMZ, any sleaze forum or cable access show that will have him. He will become a bitter, juvenile gnat buzzing in the ear of FX and myself. He will use lies, intimidation, and his big mouth to become such a pain in the ass, in the hope that Fox will throw some money at him to shut the fuck up. It’s not a coincidence that his claim hits while academy members are voting.”
Kurt goes on to say that there’s no way Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox, will ever pay a red cent to Chuck because the “parent company [being Fox] is as stubborn and aggressive” as he is.
That’s for damn sure.
