Maggie Siff Talks ‘Sons of Anarchy’ Season Six

Maggie Siff, ‘Tara’ in FX’s critically acclaimed dramatic series Sons of Anarchy, says that when we meet up with her character in season six, she’s in prison. “She is just really interested in getting out and getting her children out. I think when she goes to prison, and her dreams are smashed yet again, I think she decides it’s really not about her anymore – it’s about her children,” explained Siff during our interview at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con.

Maggie Siff also revealed the reason why she believes Tara is so stuck on Jax that she doesn’t make the wisest decisions.

“They are each other’s first and only real love. The way that I’ve always approached her is that she’s essentially an orphan so these primary relationships, these relationships that she found early on in her life, she can’t shake. And I include Gemma (played by Katey Sagal) in that category as sort of the only mother figure she’s ever known. As crazy of a mother as she may be, she’s the only woman who’s ever served that role in her life. Jax is the only person I think she’s ever felt has known her or seen her.”

iff also talked about whether she believes Tara will be left standing and if she thinks Jax (played by Charlie Hunnam) would ultimately choose the club over her in our video interview (embedded above).
