Yeah. Like maybe Appolonia lives to come to America and then has a rivalry with her sister-in-law Sandra, each claiming her hubby would be the better Don.

And then Appolonia finally running Sandra down during a driving lesson, thereby causing Sonny to whack Michael for bringing this little ditz over from Sicily in the first place. Then, with both Sandra and Micheal out of the way, Sonny starts banging Appolonia since she's now good for little else...only both eventually end up dead due to a secret alliance between Clemenza and Tessio who cannot believe what a bunch of dimwits their Don has brought into the world.

Which of course leaves an open door to Fredo, who eventually comes home with Hyman Roth to take joint control of the Family. Once secure in his position Roth assasinates Fredo and then having sole and complete power over the Corleone Empire, moves the whole thing over to Israel.

Guess you're right, MaryCas...a couple of simple rewrites and ANYTHING's possible!!!!
