In the beginning the show Clay Morrow was seen as a somewhat like-able character who spoke highly of his old friend John Teller. But as the show progresses Clay's true personality comes out under certain stress and pressures. We witness Clay turn from a loving husband of Gemma, to an abusive bully of Gemma. We see Clay's character turn twisted when Tig shares with Clay his suspicions of a betrayal by Opie. Clay and Tig decide to look into the matter and Tig discovers hidden microphones in Opie's truck and cell phone. Tig assumes Opie is working against the club for ATF now and immediately shares this news with Clay, who then instructs Tig to kill Opie. The night Tig follows Opie, Tig doesn't realize that Opie switched vehicles with his wife, and Tig ends up killing Opie's wife thinking it was him driving the truck. Once Clay is informed he hides this information and assures Opie they will find out who murdered his wife. Opie was devastated with the murder of his wife and we see Clay and Tig having a hard time with this. But did this change Clays mischievous ways? No. Later in the series we witness Clay morphing into an evil leader. After beating Gemma, members of the group start to question Clays authority of the group and start vouching for Jax to be the new president. Besides putting a hit on Tara for "knowing too much" about the club, Clay eventually ends up killing Piney in a cold blooded betrayal after secrets from the past are close to revealing Clay's true nature. Once Opie finds out Clay cowardly murdered his father, he also learns the truth about Donna and seeks revenge but is later talked out of it by Jax. Soon Clay's true nature is revealed to Jax in letters that Gemma gave to him from Maureen Ashby . The letters confirmed the truth about John Tellers death, which resulted in Jax swearing that he will kill Clay.

Clay Morrow
You may recognize Ron Perlman from some big name movies, but in Sons of Anarchy he is seen as the selfish president of Samcrow who eventually lets his selfishness get the best of him.
In the beginning the show Clay Morrow was seen as a somewhat like-able character who spoke highly of his old friend John Teller.

Opie Winston
After watching this weeks episode I figured it would be fitting to have the character of the week be Opie. Anyone who has been following the show knows that Opie died a hero, and last weeks episode was a tear jerker. Here's a clip of the emotional episode:
As portrayed by Ryan Hurst, Harry Winston, or 'Opie' for short, is the son of Piney, whom is one of the original nine members. Growing up, Opie was always very close to Jax. The two are seen as brothers in the show and often confront each other for advice with their issues, which is rarely seen between any members of the club. This just goes to show how close the two are.
In the beginning of the show, Opie is portrayed as a loving husband and father of Donna and his two children. He is often conflicted as Donna wants him to leave the club, but the club is all he's known his whole life. After Opie's car and phone is wired by ATF without him knowing, Clay suspects that Opie has turned into a rat. He sets out a hit on Opie but sadly, Donna ends up dead as she was driving Opies truck the night of the hit.
Opie is extremely depressed with Donna's death, he becomes distant and lives at the clubhouse since he can't face his children. While at the clubhouse Opie meets a porn star, Lyla, who is hired by the clubs porn business. Opie falls in love with Lyla and wishes for her to leave the porn business, he attempts to get her pregnant. To her surprise, Lyla does get pregnant. She has a secret abortion so that she can continue to keep working. Eventually Opie and Lyla get married, but Lyla continues in the porn business and confesses her abortion to Opie. Opie is frustrated even more when he finds Lyla's birth control pills hidden in her dressing room.
Opie ends up cheating on Lyla with another porn star hired by the club. This results in Jax giving Opie a piece of his mind. Things continue to be shaky between Lyla and Opie. They begin living seperatly and have minimal communication.
The situation gets worse for Opie as he soon finds out that Clay killed his father and that his wife's death was
also due to actions set by Clay. Fueled with anger, he seeks revenge. He finds Clay in the clubhouse and Jax
attempts to talk Opie out of shooting Clay, but Opie shoots him twice in the chest, resulting in Jax shooting
Opie in the hand. The group covers the shooting as retaliation from another club hit. Opie feels betrayed by Jax, and does not show up for Jax's announcement of becoming the new president of the club. He is often missing from club meetings and goes into hiding on his own.
What are your thoughts on Opie? Do you think it was a mistake to kill his character off?

The Dreaded Death
As I mentioned before in one of my previous blogs, it was confirmed by Kurt Sutter (one of the main writers of the show) late last week, that one of the main characters near and dear to our hearts would end up dead in this past Tuesdays episode of Sons of Anarchy.
If you haven't watched any of season five yet, your in for quite a ride. Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, well spoiler alert, they do!
But seriously, SPOILER ALERT!! If you don't want me to ruin anything for you that you haven't seen yet don't read on! You've been warned! If you would like to know what I'm referring to than please watch the video below. Head's up though, if you have a sensitive stomach it's a tid bit graphic.
I've come to have a love hate relationship with Tuesdays now. I'm sure many of you reading this share that same feeling with me. I get to watch this amazing show, yet deep down I know this season brings much tragedy. If there has been this much in the first three episodes I can't bear in mind what the rest of season five has up it's sleeves.
Let me say, I'm shocked but not surprised by the death of Opie. It was sad that he died, but like many others, I feel that his death was of a heroic fashion
I would love to hear from all of you though. What are your thoughts on the episode? And how are you liking season five so far? And on that note I will end today's blog with this: R.I.P Opie
