Opie (Ryan Hurst)is a second-generation member of the Sons of Anarchy. His father is "Piney" (played by William Lucking), who was one of the "First Nine". In the first season we meet Opie as he has just been released from prison and confronts a man who fled when the cops came, a sin for which the club took his patch with ultimately gruesome consequences. Opie is best friends with Jax, another second-generation Son (his father was John Teller -- JT -- who founded the club along with Clay Morrow). Opie is absolutely loyal to the club. At times he is torn between Jax and Clay but increasingly lines up behind Jax. He is a father and personally gentle (see the scenes with him and his kids) but savage in a fight and ready, willing and able to do what has to be done for the sake of the club. He is a quiet, brooding man with an explosive temper hidden underneath a contemplative exterior, the kind of guy you want as a friend and definitely not as an enemy.

Cool with me cause I've got a love affair going on with Jax.

Nope. And I only just started season 2.

Um... not as much as Jax. Don't get me wrong, I feel bad for Opie with Donna dying and all... but yeah, he's okay.

I guess my two favorites after Jax are a tie between his Mother and Tara.

Yeah, at first I didn't like her... but I quickly started enjoying her bad-ass character more and more. She is the glue that holds them all together.

Oh and totally random here but I just watched Tara finally kick that stupid ugly Administrators ass and loved it! But more than that, OMG, I LMAO when it had them on the mushrooms and he was telling the stuffed squirrel how sorry he was... ROTFLMFAO

Um, I'm at the end of Season 2 right now... where Gemma just killed the girl (in defense) but is getting set up by the ATF

I know! I'm a few episodes into season 3 right now, Gemma just got the phone call and found out about Abel and fainted...

Thanks for posting ! I posted some new ones of daryl too
