of all the charactors killed in one way or another. who do you miss the most...mine is deffinitely big pussy...followed by adriana cos she was so fit

I actually miss Hesh, who's still alive, but used so little.

Ralphie would get my vote.

I'd love to see how the show would have developed had Nancy Marchand, who played Livia, not died.

Ralph is the best dead guy he was funny and crazy i think he added the most to the show

Big Pussy because he fit in so nicely.

Jackie Aprile. I would have liked to see the days when he was boss.

Tony B(lundetto) could have been a real asset but, unfortunately, "he decided to go into business for himself" and got whacked for it.

Steve Buscemi was outstanding and I would have enjoyed seeing him beyond his one season guest appearance...presuming the plots and writing included him...which is the issue with a lot of the remaining characters. It's tough to get everybody involved while still adhering to some sort of structure in the script.

tony b.

Definetly Big Pussy Bompinsero ...

He'd Be In The Crew Now As A Capo ...Shame If He Wasnt A Fuckin Rat ...

My favourite deceased character is Pussy Bonpensiero because even though he only appeared in two seasons, his appearance as a member of Tony Soprano's crew wasn't only a "guest appearance."

That's so funny you say that. I always assumed I was the only one who specifically liked Hesh. I remember back in Season 1 and maybe 2 when he was a key supporting character. Now it's like he makes cameo appearances. I got worried when he got in a beef early in last season. Figured it was the writers finally just giving up on his character and showing him the door.

Adriana and Pussy.

Livia was hilarious - one of my favorite characters.

Richie was great too; although it was great when Janice shot him, I would have liked to see that scene with their roles reversed.

The thing i miss the most is Series 6 cos we still have'nt had it over here yet
Actual character i miss most is Ralph!

P.S. apparently we are finally getting the new series in September

I like Hesh, played by Jerry Adler. Adler was in one of my favorite Woody Allen movies, Manhattan Murder Mystery. He played Mr. House (Haus?), the wife murderer. He was great in that movie.

Ade for the hotness factor :p

Pussy and Furio would also be cool to still have in the show. I liked Furio, damn italian had to fall in love with Carmela :p

Got to be Richie Aprile. I mean, what a bastard he was! I loved that mean stare he had about him and in a way I was sad to see him go. I understand that James Gandolfini wasn't too happy about him being written out either and I agree 'cos he had a lot of potential.

I also miss Feech La Manna to be honest. Robert Loggia, who I've admired for donkeys years, was hilarious in his portrayal (in particular when he described his first day in the joint) and was also well capable of showing the ruthless side, especially when he whipped the tar out of the gardener!

i'd say ralphie he was a big pain in tonys ass

Janice was even a bigger pain in Ralphie's ass. :rolleyes:

Ralph Cifaretto, by far. Joe Pantoliano played him to a T. I just loved the scene where he called Paulie's mom, I laughed for about 10 mins. He also had some of the best lines in the series too. Like, "Why was I born handsome and not rich!" "Nothin' but net, mother******!!" and "There are more programs for there deadbeats."


And then theres the scene where Christopher pulls his wig off! LMAO

I miss Junior as well.

I only say that because in series 5 & 6 he was seriously underused.

Definitely Furio (check out my picture)- he had the potential to be a sort of Vincent Mancini character, someone who could have comeo out of nowhere and ended up a Boss, but the writers ended up using him as a bitch instead.

as for Big Pussy, madonne, why couldn't it have been Paulie Walnuts?

Sammy The Fish

You surprise me there Sammy, as Paulie is one of the best-loved characters in the show. He's responsible for bringing a lot of laughter to otherwise tense situations. One pf my personal favourites is in series 5, when Tony B is talking to the guys about his Korean boss, and Paulie says something like "Lest we forget Pearl Harbor". Priceless! The Sopranos wouldn't be the same without him.

I take your point about Big Pussy though. I miss him too, even if he was a rat.

Krendler-

Granted, Paulie is a big favorite of mine, but I started having a serious problem with him starting with the hazing he was pulling on Chris prior to his being made and ending up with the crap he was pulling behind Tony's back when he was in lock up and talking to Johnny Sacks about all kinda stuff that should have stayed in the family. It was only when he realized that Johnny was playing him that he pulled back from the edge of betrayal.
Plus, his mother annoyed me.

Sammy the Fish

I agree, I really like Richie Aprile. The whole plot of Season three would have been different, would have loved to see him handle the Jackie Jr. situation or how he would have reacted to Ralphie being a pain in the ass unlike the way Gigi Cestone handled it.

Whats with Larry Boy Barese(sonny in Goodfellas)his he a captain,you never see him only at the table when there all together,i'd like to see more of him..

Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero
Tony Blundetto - Steve Buscemi perfomance was so GREAT!
Ralph Cifaretto

He is under House arrest, he was at the hospital when Tony was in coma and Vito was talking to him about Vito becoming acting boss.

Vito becoming Acting Boss,

I like Hesh, I would also have liked to see Jackie Aprile more before he got sick.

Maybe when the show finishs,they could do a prequal on the early family.

jackie aprile just to see how things would have went had he lived but the idea i guess was to give tony complete power over the family

i also miss big pussy

the family before the show started would be a great idea for the movie but who knows...
