Here's Your First Look at Venus Van Dam's Return to "Sons of Anarchy"

No matter how dark things get on FX’s "Sons of Anarchy", just remember that Venus Van Dam is on the way.

The transgender escort played by Justified‘s Walton Goggins makes her return in the Sept. 30 episode when SAMCRO, in need of information, pays her a visit. As fans know, the cast lights up any time her name is mentioned, and Goggins feels that each time he steps on set.



“I really do, and it’s weird. Because I personally, Walton Goggins, don’t feel that — I feel it as Venus,” he says.

“Venus feels it and reciprocates that with her boys — all the guys on the show. She just considers them brothers, like seeing family that she hasn’t seen in a while. They’re so kind and so gentle to Venus. It’s so refreshing. There’s no competition, there’s just enjoyment on all sides.”





Venus, who was introduced in season five and returned in season six, will also appear in the final ride’s 10th episode.

As creator Kurt Sutter told EW, “We find out what’s been going down off-screen between Venus and Tig. It’ll be our love story for the season.”
