The Sons of Anarchy star is reprising her role in a much bigger way in the second season, which was far from a sure thing.
Not all of the big-name guest stars from Season 1 are very likely to return.
The Conners rose from the ashes of the Roseanne revival that crashed and burned, and fans really responded to the additions to the cast of characters with actors like Katey Sagal.
So, was there any question of how Sagal would feel about being involved in a greater capacity in Season 2, and in a role that was key to Dan’s character?
