For example, if the biggest crossover character, Emilio Rivera’s Marcus Alvarez, starts acting in a way that doesn’t feel authentic to the performances we saw on Sons of Anarchy, the fans are going to let Sutter and Elgin James know about it in the loudest ways possible.
Plus, Kurt Sutter has a solid point in wanting Sons of Anarchy to remain its own singular entity for fans to remember (since Tig cannot be forgotten anyway).
He knows the Mayans MC creative team has to tread carefully when inserting SOA characters and references into episodes, with the goal of not dishonoring anyone’s memories and opinions about the flagship drama.
As such, we shouldn’t expect many direct references and narratives tied to the Teller family’s burnout, even if some familiar faces from the periphery start to show up.
