Gigi Cestone, not sure why they decided to kill him off especially while he was on the toilet.. He was a decent Captain..

The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

I think the actor was a pain to work with so they wrote him out. Don't quote me on that.

Actually they did not pay much for new characters on that show. But if they liked you. You can be a recurring character. It give the actor a lot exposur to other things.

Because they did not pay well for a new character my friend never went out for a part. It was a mistake as he told me later.

only the unloved hate

Richie, Feech and the entire cast did a great job. I thought Patsy was very authentic.
