With the death of Tara Knowles-Teller, the second wife of bad-boy biker and SAMCRO president Jax, Season 7 of "Sons of Anarchy" is going to have a different look.

Tara was brutally murdered by Jax's mother, Gemma Teller Morrow, in a fit of misguided rage in the Season 6 finale. Unfortunately for Jax, he lost his beloved wife and now finds himself in jail, charged with her murder.

Fans of Maggie Siff, who portrayed Tara in the long-running series, were gobsmacked at her character's untimely death. Siff's fans are emotional about her series departure, and they let her know it every chance they get in public.

"I encounter it in weird ways. You know, like when I go to the supermarket," Siff told Zap2It. "A woman walked up to me yesterday in the supermarket crying. I feel like there are certain women who were really, really moved and were like 'Oh my God, what happened?' and were genuinely shocked."

It's crazy how a one-hour cable drama far less popular than a show like "Law & Order: SVU" can affect fans. Luckily, the main characters are hard to kill, according to "SoA" creator Kurt Sutter.

"It would be difficult if I got rid of characters like Tig and Juice and Chibs, especially with Opie gone. They feel like family to people," Sutter told Entertainment Weekly. "You have to be very careful not to be arbitrary in terms of who lives and who dies."

So without Tara's calming presence in Season 7, will we see Jax become meaner? Also, will Gemma go to the Charming Police Department and confess to murdering her son's wife to save Jax from the system? Or will her cowardice shine through and consign her son to a possible prison stint?

In other "SoA" news, Charlie Hunnam (Jax Teller) was the victim of a celebrity death hoax.

One statement read: "'Sons of Anarchy' star Charlie Hunnam dead at 34. Early Wednesday afternoon Charlie Hunnam was ejected from his vehicle in a single vehicle accident in Northfolk, VA."

Thankfully, the British actor's representative put these outlandish rumors to rest once and for all.
