This may be the most unpopular opinion I’ve ever posted.

I’ve always had my reservations about Margaret Murphy. And I’m pretty sure we’ve all had a few moments where we rolled our eyes just because she was in a scene. Her character was always super irritating (as I think it was designed to be) because every opportunity she got to step on Gemma’s toes or get in Tara’s business, she jumped on it with an irritating vigor. But after a while I was able to get past the frustration I realized she may be one of the most underrated and over-hated character in the show. She always wanted to help Tara, and was just trying to prevent another tragedy like her own. I think her involvement in Tara’s life is a bit more than frustrating, but she’s only trying to help. And once we get to the scene with Tara, her, and Jax, right after the accident with Gemma, it’s obvious that she didn’t really have any issues with Jax. She even went out of her way to help him and check on Gemma to make sure she was awake and able to talk to Jax. Simple really, but not something someone would do if she had any hate towards them. Which on first appearance, that’s exactly what it seems. Turns out she was just one of those red herrings you think you’ll hate but it turns out they may be one of the sanest and best people in the show.
