In the Blue Comet, the Zips are given names finally; Italo and Roberto. I added them to the list with a short description, and put them in Misc. Members, though feel free to move them where you like. I also changed the Death List from Zip #1 and #2. If someone can find out the actors, it would be greatly appreciated.
He deserves to be up to being a secondary character —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.238.178.49 ( talk) 22:57, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Brendan Filone also deserves to be up to being a secondary character 72.229.48.178 ( talk) 00:25, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
The name is spelled Ercole not Ercoli. In Italian, the ending 'i' denotes the plural form, as this is a name, the correct spelling is Ercole.
This article was created by moving content from the article List of characters from The Sopranos - this move was undertaken to reduce the size of the original article. The move was suggested and agreed upon by another 2 editors. -- Opark 77 22:41, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Crew associations taken from the article DiMeo Crime Family. Soldier is a term used to refer to a made man. Associate is used to refer to someone who is part of a crew in a mafia crime family. -- Opark 77 22:41, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
All entries are linked to by the name in the header from various other articles - please think carefully before changing the entry names as it will invalidate many links. If you do change an entry name you should at least go and change the entry link on the main A-Z character list. -- Opark 77 17:05, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
As of the 27 April 2006 there are 20 main characters, approximately 200 supporting characters in our list. These divisions are arbitrary and open to personal interpretation. This has caused some argument on the main page in the past. The supporting characters were previously divided into secondary and tertiary but a move was made with consensus support to simplify things and unite the categories. However ex-secondary characters still have their own pages at the moment and do not appear in this list.
I was wondering if there are any conventions for determining who is what sort of character? I think it would be useful to try and reach a consensus on these conventions and produce guidelines for the decision on the importance of a character.
A discussion of the status of characters can be found here. I think it is best placed on the main article List of characters from The Sopranos and would urge anyone interested to join in there. -- Opark 77 18:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Anyone with screenshots of DiMeo Crime Family characters? I would love a few more images uploaded. -- Opark 77 22:42, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Characters particularly deserving of one IMHO
-- Opark 77 10:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
sorry, but this is a bad idea. if you separate dimeo then all the rest should be separated as well. there's no reason to separate one portion and leave the others on the list page. - Zarbon
its just not good to see the list separated when the others remain intact. - Zarbon
personally, it looks better now that the page isn't a mile long. as long as all of them get to be separated, its better in the long run. On another note, i have requested that Feech la manna and Gloria trillo be merged. they seriously have no reason to stay just because they were listed on hbo's character descriptions. the descriptions just follow most current characters. feech and gloria just aren't important whatsoever. - Zarbon
The Brendan Filone character is the subject of a proposal of promotion to the list of secondary characters. -- Opark 77 22:53, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
i don't think that little bit played a major role in his development because hunter and meadow end up taking the drugs from Chris...it would just make the article longer...and right now, it's already quite long. lets just hope that we can somehow help him go up to secondary. - Zarbon
Opark 77, if you know any other members who'd be willing to support our cause, maybe we can give Brendan, Sean, and Matt back their own pages. I mean, Benny and Eugene have kept their pages so I think it's only fitting. Let me know how you can help. - Zarbon
I guess it still depends on the voting over on the main discussion board. -- Opark 77 07:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
the information on the main board is extremely cluttered and confusing. and the voting for them was based on whether or not they should be moved up to secondary from tertiary. well, now that they have been moved up since the "tertiary" rank was removed, i think we can, in our best interest, give all three of them their pages, and discuss whether or not Dino Zerilli deserves a page. - Zarbon
I think if you move something without consensus support it might just get moved back by other editors but if you want to try go ahead. I made a subsection on the main board to discuss the issue of what to do about ex-secondary characters. As for the voting I'm sorry it's clunky but it's still a way of assessing feeling and currently the votes put Brendan et al as tertiary and not deserving of his own page.-- Opark 77 18:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
yes i understand the voting process, etc. But i am trying to relay the message to you that thanks to Kafziel and myself being in agree-ance, the rank of "tertiary" has been eliminated. And to decrease the size of the Dimeo page, what better than to give Brendan, Matt, and Sean back their pages, which they originally had anyways. - Zarbon
I'm sorry if I came across as patronising before - I never thought you didn't understand the voting process. I followed and participated in the decision to simplify the main page and understand that the terms tertiary and secondary have been removed from the main page and replaced with an all encompassing supporting character list. All of these distinctions are academic and detemrined by us editors. However there is still some distinction - the characters previously listed as secondary kept their old individual articles and those listed as tertiary reside in the sub-section pages. I still think it's necessary to consult other editors before taking a character from the subsection pages and giving them their own article otherwise merging back and forth and edit wars will happen. I used the terms secondary and tertiary to describe this movement as I'm a bit slow to adjust!-- Opark 77 22:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
ah yes. i'm glad we understand each other. but you too would agree with me that Brendan, Matt, and Sean deserve their pages back would you not? - Zarbon
Yes, as long as the other (previosuly) secondary characters keep their articles I think Brendan and Matt deserve one. Sean probably not.-- Opark 77 07:21, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
i'm going to give them pages, if they get reverted, then i'll leave it to discussion. - Zarbon
I thought that reverts would probably happen Zarbon, I'm afraid that consensus doesn't want them to have their own articles so it should really stay that way unless the votes change. In the mean time why not add Joey Cogo to the character list as I see you added him to the deceased list. -- Opark 77 17:21, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Rectently user M Vopni removed a lot of information from the Brendan Filone profile - he described the edit "Additional info not needed for a MINOR Character, condense version still has all important detaIls. Also, consensus was reached on short version when Filone was merged." I believe this refers to the discussion here. Having reread the discussion I cannot see a consensus being formed on what information the Brendan Filone summary should include - only that he should not have his own article. Although I hold a different opinion on him having his own article, I understand that I am very much in the minority and have never reverted the merge. I feel that some important facts about Brendan are lost by shortening his profile. I understand that we should aim to be concise with the article but I feel that accuracy is just as important. Rather than get into a revert war over it perhaps I could list the points that are now missing here and if anyone else feels they are worthy of inclusion they could post here or go ahead and add them to the profile. If no-one posts I will happily concede that I am in the wrong and leave the profile well alone.-- Opark 77 14:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
opark77, thank you for noticing this. m vopni is a terrible wikipedia editor and he uses a personal vendetta against me rather than a civilized method of handling the problem. he has furthermore, negligently reverted my edits just because they were made by me. This is a fine example. he diminishes the character simply because he doesn't want me to have my way. he seriously needs to grow up and stop reverting. this goes to wesleymullins as well. he started the debate originally because i had found him saying bad things about me in imdb.com chat. for more information about the things that he was saying, please check sopranos episode 3 denial anger acceptance discussion. there, you will evidently see what things conspire about me. i was lucky enough to catch him doing it. i wanted to report his behavior along with m vopni's careless and nonchalant reverts, but i didn't. opark77, i am glad i found someone like you who also sees my perspective. sfufan is another good member, regardless of some complications. you and him are both efficient editors and i need your help to stop the likes of m vopni from committing these childish reverts simply because they "feel" like it. - Zarbon
Hey again Zarbon. Try to remember not to take edits personally - it seems you believe these users have a grudge against you - I'm pretty sure they don't, they just want you to respect consensus. I have to say that I think it's a little hypocritical of you to call someone childish for making reverts on a whim - you've done this quite often. Thank you for the compliments about myself and sfufan. I agree he is probably the best editor we have here on the sopranos at the moment. I'm off to check the discussion on denial, anger, acceptance now. -- Opark 77 21:35, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
"For example, is it really important to know that Brendan gave a DVD player to Sil or that Tony relays Juniors message from the sit down. Not really, that info is better left in the episode summary."
no, that's not important, but the fact that MIKEY killed him is. And the fact that he's involved with Tony and gets tossed out is! I am seriously pointing out important things and you simply do not want any information on the character because of your personal feelings. M vopni, i suggest that you read what opark77 just wrote and he explains very well what the character description should include. as for length, he's getting exactly as much as sean and matt. - Zarbon
his death is not unimportant. the manner in which he is killed is a key role in the mikey demise. that's the reason why chris is extremely ticked off when he caps mikey. you are instituting your own personal belief in what is important and what is not. why aren't you cutting down the matt, sean, and mikey profiles as well...they are around for the same level of happenings. - Zarbon

I noticed that lots of unseen characters have been added so i added Corky Ianucci. He's mentioned quite a few times. I listed that he was mentioned in "whoever did this" but i'm certain that he was mentioned numerous times before that as well. if anyone remembers what other episodes he's referenced in, feel free to add to his profile. - Zarbon
Category:Lists of characters from The Sopranos is a subcategory of both Category:Lists of fictional characters and Category:The Sopranos characters, so there is no need to explicitly tag this article as a member of those categories as well. -- Paul A 07:00, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Where does the information come from that Jackie Aprile, Sr. was born in 1950? That seems a bit early. For one thing, the actor playing that part was born in 1965. For another, his older brother was supposed to have been in high school with Tony Soprano's sister Janice, who's supposed to be maybe 5 or 6 years older than him, tops. - Nat Krause( Talk!) 23:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
No one has stepped up to note that many of the characters on this list are not in the DiMeo crime family? Annalisa, for one, is head/acting head of her own family in Sicily. Several other characters, such as Massive G, never cooperated with the family at all, and only had incidental dealings with them. This list needs to be split apart badly. 209.169.114.213 03:55, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
The elderly man Tommy who takes care of (and loses) Junior in Where's Johnny? is clearly not Tommy Di Palma. His last name is never mentioned. Back in early season 1, when Jackie is dying of cancer, Mikey Palmice says that Tommy Di Palma also has cancer, but "way worse than you". Whoever this Di Palma guy is, if he had cancer worse than Jackie, he would certainly be dead in 2004, four years later.
Some people believe Larry Boy Barese's first name is "Lorenzo". This is plain wrong. Take a look at this screencap from the episode "Pax Soprana": Link cun 20:06, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm thinking a lot about the original DiMeo Crime Family and their crews. There are three well-know capos: Johnny Boy Soprano, Feech La Manna and Junior Soprano, and there are many original members of the DiMeo Crime Family who referenced in the series, like Rocco DiMeo, Jerry Anastasia, Romeo Martin and Cicchi Sasso. Who worked for who?
Additionally we have not information about the early careers of some "current" members like Richie Aprile, Ray Curto, Tony Blundetto or Beppy Sasso. Which point at Ray Curto and Richie Aprile became capo?
Tony Sopranos mentions Richie Aprile's name together with Jerry Anastasia as guys he had to buy dinners for when he was a newly made guy. In episode Tony Blundetto was on an FBI picture with Feech La Manna. They worked together?
Jimmy Bones and Little Pussy Malanga was made men. In the first and second season there are five crews lead by Tony Soprano, Jimmy Altieri, Ray Curto, Larry Boy Barese and Junior Soprano. Jackie Aprile was the acting boss of the DiMeo Crime Family. Who lead the Aprile crew at this time? Why doesn't nobody looking for Jimmy Bones? Little Pussy Malanga worked for who?

Hi. It is just a probability assumption: in the first episode of Season 5 when Tony and Bobby watches the news about the relase of La Manna and Blundetto, the newsreporter states that both LaManna and Blundetto were prime suspects in the car-bomb killing of Gilardi. In the 80s LaManna was one of the most respected and fearest capo in the DiMeo Crime Family. Due the fact in the maffia, a capo rarely whacks somebody himself, and need permission of their capo to whack made men. I guess Tommy Gilardi one of the original La Manna Crew soldiers in the 80s, and La Manna was suspect for to take the order!?

Why is there a copyright image notice on the page? The page only has 8 images on it in full and there's like tons of characters. Only 8 of them are getting images, so that shouldn't be a problem at all, 8 images is like nothing. Imagine if all 135 characters on the page got an image, then it might pose somewhat of a problem. But right now, it shouldn't be any problem of copyright, none whatsoever. - 72.229.48.178 ( talk) 16:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Not to get technical here, but there is a fairly prominent picture of Dickie Moltisanti shown at the end of the episode " For All Debts Public and Private". The morning following the murder of Det. Barry Haydu, Christopher is sitting at the table at his mother's house looking at a picture of Dickie holding a baby (presumably Christopher). The man in the picture looks just like actor Michael Imperioli (who plays Christopher in the series) so maybe it's actually him or possibly his father or uncle or somebody. Does anyone have any info on this?
While not directly shown, it's interesting how when Christopher gets up to put the $20 dollar bill he took from Haydu on the refrigerator, his mother sits down at the table and places the picture of Dickie face down on the table. Darwin's Bulldog ( talk) 21:11, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

User:Edimeo25, This shows Tony holding a newspaper in season 1 showing the date being in June 1998. Do you know which episode you heard Pussy say "war of 99"? I'd like to check that, but the newspaper is pretty convincing, so there may be a hole in the plot there. Vaselineeeeeeee ★★★ 17:45, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
User Vaseline, Pussy says it in episode 4 after the news report about Jackie's death when they are in the Bada Bing. "Here we go. War of 99." It seems some time passes between the pilot and episode 2. In real life of course this is due to a year's break in filming the pilot and the rest of the season. But in the show, in the pilot, Tony is regarded as the boss. Tony, when describing Jackie's health problems to Melfi, says Jackie beat the cancer initially but it recurred. So Tony first took over Jackie's duties in the pilot (mid 1998), then Jackie comes back and Tony is Capo again by episode 2 but Jackie is sick again and dies two episodes later (mid 1999). So the pilot takes place in the September, and the rest in late spring early summer? Meadow is playing soccer later in the show's season. Soccer's both a fall and spring sport.
Either way, Pussy still says "Here we go. War of 99," so the rest of season 1 is around mid-1999 while the pilot is September 1998.
Also Tony in the season finale, when discussing the revelation with his crew about seeing a shrink, says he'd been seeing Melfi for "4 or 5 months." If the season starts off in September, 4 or 5 months later would place the finale in January or February. It's definitely not the dead of winter when Junior tries to kill Tony. Leaves on the trees when Mikey is shot, nobody's wearing winter clothing. It's late spring , summer, maybe even early fall. Tony's not the most truthful person in the world so he's been seeing her longer, more like 8, 9 months, maybe close to a year during the warmer seasons.
Pussy says "here we go, War of 99," in the Bada Bing when they find out Jackie dies. So it's 1999 by episode 4. Johnny's death is unknown until season 5 when Tony meets Fran, Johnny's goomar, at Johnny's grave, where it is finally established that he died in 1986. Of course the gravestone also says he was born in 1924, and he is supposed to be the younger brother of Junior, who is stated to be around 70-72 in the first three seasons, making Junior born around 1930. The timeline is messy.
In season 1 episode 3, Meadow and Hunter take meth to help with studying for the upcoming SAT's and choir show. SAT's are taken in the spring of a high school student's junior year, which Meadow and Hunter are in the middle of. So this would mean it's spring 1999. And in episode 4 when Pussy says "here we go, war of 99," he isn't referring to an upcoming event. He is referring to the present. Junior and Mikey have just killed Brendan, Jackie has died without naming a successor. There has been talk of war throughout the episode (the meeting with the captains, Junior rejecting Tony's offer of compromise and telling Tony to come in "heavy" or don't come at all). The War of 99 is initially averted but then resumes a few episodes later. As I said earlier, the pilot may take place June 17, 1998, but the rest of the season occurs in the spring of 99. -Edimeo25 20:05 7 July, 2021
February 22, 2022 Update*
The wiki fandom page is fan edited just like this page. And it's riddled with inconsistencies, part of which are based on an inconsistent timeline a redditor made, linked above. For instance this same wiki has AJ's date of birth as June 17, 1986. So he’d turn 13 in 1999. Probably the year the season is supposed to be set anyway. The pilot was filmed August 1997 and maybe the creators thought the pilot would air on TV or in theaters by June 98. (This is before the rest of the series was picked up and filmed in the summer of 1998). The Lupertazzi family section has a completely fabricated backstory in the family's origins. “Giovanni Lupertazzi” doesn't exist in the series, nor is he mentioned in any books.
The season has several inconsistent prop dates. See more below. Which should we go with?
All the proof you need that the bulk of season 1 takes place in 1999. Jackie has died without naming a successor, Junior kills one of Tony's guys (Brendan) and mock-executes Tony’s beloved nephew. Tony and Junior's first sit-down goes bad and Junior tells Tony to “come in heavy or not at all.” They are about to go to war right then and there, hence Pussy's line about "War of '99."
Another item, and I also brought this up before in an above posting, in the previous episode, Meadow and Hunter need to study for the SATs (said during choir practice). SATs are usually first taken in the spring semester of a student’s junior year of high school. Meadow is a junior in the first season. And it isn’t a case of only Meadow and Hunter taking them early in the school year or something, the entire choir acknowledges they are taking the SATs as well. Season 1, episode 3, 8:21 to 8:35 mark. June 1998 is too late, September 1998 is too early, so the only logical option in a typical student’s junior year is spring. So it’s spring 1999.
Tony actually says "about 10 years ago." Not 12. It's right there in the episode when he calls Chris on the phone. The person who made the reddit timeline that's causing this screw-up either mis-heard or was trying to make the timeline fit his/her head-canon.
In the northeast United States (where I live), the weather is (usually) still cold, grass is wilted and yellow, and trees haven't even begun to bud yet. The summer/early fall-like weather and plant life in the episode contradicts the date.
Wait a minute, the prayer card said March 24, 1999, how could the next episode take place 5 months earlier in October 23, 1998?
Season 2 begins late summer 1999, at least according to a date someone found, at least "three weeks" after the end of the season 1 finale (Junior states this when Tony comes to visit in season 2 episode 2). The kids are back in school and Meadow is beginning her senior year of high school. Maybe season 1 ends early autumn at best, it’s summer-like throughout the whole season. Late spring to very early fall at the latest.
Even Tony's line that he started seeing Melfi "4 or 5 months ago" is inconsistent. If 4 or 5 months have passed since June, the season finale would have to take place as late as October or November. By then it’s getting colder in reality. Being a criminal he could be lying and it could have been a year or more depending when season 1 is set. The pilot in June 1998 and the rest in late spring into summer or early fall 1999 makes the most sense. This would also account for everyone aging a year between episode 1 and the rest. And account for the weather.
This puts it in line with the season 2 timeline: Season 2 (Summer 1999 – June 2000)
• 2.02 "Do Not Resuscitate" — Tony says to Junior it took "3 fucking weeks" to put him on his visitors list; Tony's kids are in school
• 2.06 "The Happy Wanderer" — Meadow's friend Rachel got early acceptance to Wesley College
• 2.08 "Full Leather Jacket" — Hunter got early college acceptance
• 2.07 "D-Girl" — The clapperboard used at the filming of Michelle Foreman's movie has the date "8/26/99"; the date "February 8, 1999" is on the Waste News newspaper that Pussy is reading
That August 26, 1999 is inconsistent after all. It should be well into September by now. But Paulie and Sil would still be promoted in 1999, not 2000.
• 2.08 "Full Leather Jacket" — Meadow says she's 18 (her birthday is in the springtime in 4.12 "Eloise"; in 6.15 "Remember When", it's said she was born shortly after Labor Day 1982)
• 2.10 "Bust Out" — Richie says Tony was supposed to be killed (on Juniors orders in 1.12 "Isabella") "a year ago"; Meadow gets college acceptance letters
The time jump into 2000 has happened around here.
• 2.11 "House Arrest" — Tony reads Waste News with the date "February 8, 1999"
• 2.13 "Funhouse" — Meadow graduates with the "Class of 2000"; Melfi says she's been treating Tony for "2 years" and the hit on him was a year ago; (Big) Pussy is killed
• Weather starts summer-like and is turning autumn-like by 2.11; first snow in series is seen in Tony's fever dream ("spring snow" as Hesh says) in 2.13 Edimeo25 February 22, 2022 6:22 PM EST
This article lists Paulie as the underboss from 1999 onwards. But we see the FBI board in season 3 episode 1, and it clearly lists Tony as being the simultaneous underboss/acting boss (street boss) of the family. While there are some indications that Tony intended Paulie to serve as his defacto #3, everything hints to Paulie's official title being capo before season 6. Tony doesn't appoint a formal underboss of his own until he becomes the official boss -- Darthdyas ( talk) 09:09, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

In the Blue Comet, the Zips are given names finally; Italo and Roberto. I added them to the list with a short description, and put them in Misc. Members, though feel free to move them where you like. I also changed the Death List from Zip #1 and #2. If someone can find out the actors, it would be greatly appreciated.

This article was created by moving content from the article List of characters from The Sopranos - this move was undertaken to reduce the size of the original article. The move was suggested and agreed upon by another 2 editors. -- Opark 77 22:41, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

All entries are linked to by the name in the header from various other articles - please think carefully before changing the entry names as it will invalidate many links.

As of the 27 April 2006 there are 20 main characters, approximately 200 supporting characters in our list. These divisions are arbitrary and open to personal interpretation. This has caused some argument on the main page in the past. The supporting characters were previously divided into secondary and tertiary but a move was made with consensus support to simplify things and unite the categories. However ex-secondary characters still have their own pages at the moment and do not appear in this list.
I was wondering if there are any conventions for determining who is what sort of character? I think it would be useful to try and reach a consensus on these conventions and produce guidelines for the decision on the importance of a character.
A discussion of the status of characters can be found here. I think it is best placed on the main article List of characters from The Sopranos and would urge anyone interested to join in there. -- Opark 77 18:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Anyone with screenshots of DiMeo Crime Family characters? I would love a few more images uploaded. -- Opark 77 22:42, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Characters particularly deserving of one IMHO
-- Opark 77 10:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
sorry, but this is a bad idea. if you separate dimeo then all the rest should be separated as well. there's no reason to separate one portion and leave the others on the list page. - Zarbon
its just not good to see the list separated when the others remain intact. - Zarbon
personally, it looks better now that the page isn't a mile long. as long as all of them get to be separated, its better in the long run. On another note, i have requested that Feech la manna and Gloria trillo be merged. they seriously have no reason to stay just because they were listed on hbo's character descriptions. the descriptions just follow most current characters. feech and gloria just aren't important whatsoever. - Zarbon
The Brendan Filone character is the subject of a proposal of promotion to the list of secondary characters. -- Opark 77 22:53, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
i don't think that little bit played a major role in his development because hunter and meadow end up taking the drugs from Chris...it would just make the article longer...and right now, it's already quite long. lets just hope that we can somehow help him go up to secondary. - Zarbon
Opark 77, if you know any other members who'd be willing to support our cause, maybe we can give Brendan, Sean, and Matt back their own pages. I mean, Benny and Eugene have kept their pages so I think it's only fitting. Let me know how you can help. - Zarbon
I guess it still depends on the voting over on the main discussion board. -- Opark 77 07:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
the information on the main board is extremely cluttered and confusing. and the voting for them was based on whether or not they should be moved up to secondary from tertiary. well, now that they have been moved up since the "tertiary" rank was removed, i think we can, in our best interest, give all three of them their pages, and discuss whether or not Dino Zerilli deserves a page. - Zarbon
I think if you move something without consensus support it might just get moved back by other editors but if you want to try go ahead. I made a subsection on the main board to discuss the issue of what to do about ex-secondary characters. As for the voting I'm sorry it's clunky but it's still a way of assessing feeling and currently the votes put Brendan et al as tertiary and not deserving of his own page.-- Opark 77 18:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
yes i understand the voting process, etc. But i am trying to relay the message to you that thanks to Kafziel and myself being in agree-ance, the rank of "tertiary" has been eliminated. And to decrease the size of the Dimeo page, what better than to give Brendan, Matt, and Sean back their pages, which they originally had anyways. - Zarbon
I'm sorry if I came across as patronising before - I never thought you didn't understand the voting process. I followed and participated in the decision to simplify the main page and understand that the terms tertiary and secondary have been removed from the main page and replaced with an all encompassing supporting character list. All of these distinctions are academic and detemrined by us editors. However there is still some distinction - the characters previously listed as secondary kept their old individual articles and those listed as tertiary reside in the sub-section pages. I still think it's necessary to consult other editors before taking a character from the subsection pages and giving them their own article otherwise merging back and forth and edit wars will happen. I used the terms secondary and tertiary to describe this movement as I'm a bit slow to adjust!-- Opark 77 22:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
ah yes. i'm glad we understand each other. but you too would agree with me that Brendan, Matt, and Sean deserve their pages back would you not? - Zarbon
Yes, as long as the other (previosuly) secondary characters keep their articles I think Brendan and Matt deserve one. Sean probably not.-- Opark 77 07:21, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
i'm going to give them pages, if they get reverted, then i'll leave it to discussion. - Zarbon
I thought that reverts would probably happen Zarbon, I'm afraid that consensus doesn't want them to have their own articles so it should really stay that way unless the votes change. In the mean time why not add Joey Cogo to the character list as I see you added him to the deceased list. -- Opark 77 17:21, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Rectently user M Vopni removed a lot of information from the Brendan Filone profile - he described the edit "Additional info not needed for a MINOR Character, condense version still has all important detaIls. Also, consensus was reached on short version when Filone was merged." I believe this refers to the discussion here. Having reread the discussion I cannot see a consensus being formed on what information the Brendan Filone summary should include - only that he should not have his own article. Although I hold a different opinion on him having his own article, I understand that I am very much in the minority and have never reverted the merge. I feel that some important facts about Brendan are lost by shortening his profile. I understand that we should aim to be concise with the article but I feel that accuracy is just as important. Rather than get into a revert war over it perhaps I could list the points that are now missing here and if anyone else feels they are worthy of inclusion they could post here or go ahead and add them to the profile. If no-one posts I will happily concede that I am in the wrong and leave the profile well alone.-- Opark 77 14:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
opark77, thank you for noticing this. m vopni is a terrible wikipedia editor and he uses a personal vendetta against me rather than a civilized method of handling the problem. he has furthermore, negligently reverted my edits just because they were made by me. This is a fine example. he diminishes the character simply because he doesn't want me to have my way. he seriously needs to grow up and stop reverting. this goes to wesleymullins as well. he started the debate originally because i had found him saying bad things about me in imdb.com chat. for more information about the things that he was saying, please check sopranos episode 3 denial anger acceptance discussion. there, you will evidently see what things conspire about me. i was lucky enough to catch him doing it. i wanted to report his behavior along with m vopni's careless and nonchalant reverts, but i didn't. opark77, i am glad i found someone like you who also sees my perspective. sfufan is another good member, regardless of some complications. you and him are both efficient editors and i need your help to stop the likes of m vopni from committing these childish reverts simply because they "feel" like it. - Zarbon
Hey again Zarbon. Try to remember not to take edits personally - it seems you believe these users have a grudge against you - I'm pretty sure they don't, they just want you to respect consensus. I have to say that I think it's a little hypocritical of you to call someone childish for making reverts on a whim - you've done this quite often. Thank you for the compliments about myself and sfufan. I agree he is probably the best editor we have here on the sopranos at the moment. I'm off to check the discussion on denial, anger, acceptance now. -- Opark 77 21:35, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
"For example, is it really important to know that Brendan gave a DVD player to Sil or that Tony relays Juniors message from the sit down. Not really, that info is better left in the episode summary."
no, that's not important, but the fact that MIKEY killed him is. And the fact that he's involved with Tony and gets tossed out is! I am seriously pointing out important things and you simply do not want any information on the character because of your personal feelings. M vopni, i suggest that you read what opark77 just wrote and he explains very well what the character description should include. as for length, he's getting exactly as much as sean and matt. - Zarbon
his death is not unimportant. the manner in which he is killed is a key role in the mikey demise. that's the reason why chris is extremely ticked off when he caps mikey. you are instituting your own personal belief in what is important and what is not. why aren't you cutting down the matt, sean, and mikey profiles as well...they are around for the same level of happenings. - Zarbon

I noticed that lots of unseen characters have been added so i added Corky Ianucci. He's mentioned quite a few times. I listed that he was mentioned in "whoever did this" but i'm certain that he was mentioned numerous times before that as well. if anyone remembers what other episodes he's referenced in, feel free to add to his profile. - Zarbon

Where does the information come from that Jackie Aprile, Sr. was born in 1950? That seems a bit early. For one thing, the actor playing that part was born in 1965. For another, his older brother was supposed to have been in high school with Tony Soprano's sister Janice, who's supposed to be maybe 5 or 6 years older than him, tops. - Nat Krause( Talk!) 23:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
No one has stepped up to note that many of the characters on this list are not in the DiMeo crime family? Annalisa, for one, is head/acting head of her own family in Sicily. Several other characters, such as Massive G, never cooperated with the family at all, and only had incidental dealings with them. This list needs to be split apart badly. 209.169.114.213 03:55, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
The elderly man Tommy who takes care of (and loses) Junior in Where's Johnny? is clearly not Tommy Di Palma. His last name is never mentioned. Back in early season 1, when Jackie is dying of cancer, Mikey Palmice says that Tommy Di Palma also has cancer, but "way worse than you". Whoever this Di Palma guy is, if he had cancer worse than Jackie, he would certainly be dead in 2004, four years later.
Some people believe Larry Boy Barese's first name is "Lorenzo". This is plain wrong. Take a look at this screencap from the episode "Pax Soprana": Link cun 20:06, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm thinking a lot about the original DiMeo Crime Family and their crews. There are three well-know capos: Johnny Boy Soprano, Feech La Manna and Junior Soprano, and there are many original members of the DiMeo Crime Family who referenced in the series, like Rocco DiMeo, Jerry Anastasia, Romeo Martin and Cicchi Sasso. Who worked for who?
Additionally we have not information about the early careers of some "current" members like Richie Aprile, Ray Curto, Tony Blundetto or Beppy Sasso. Which point at Ray Curto and Richie Aprile became capo?
Tony Sopranos mentions Richie Aprile's name together with Jerry Anastasia as guys he had to buy dinners for when he was a newly made guy. In episode Tony Blundetto was on an FBI picture with Feech La Manna. They worked together?
Jimmy Bones and Little Pussy Malanga was made men. In the first and second season there are five crews lead by Tony Soprano, Jimmy Altieri, Ray Curto, Larry Boy Barese and Junior Soprano. Jackie Aprile was the acting boss of the DiMeo Crime Family. Who lead the Aprile crew at this time? Why doesn't nobody looking for Jimmy Bones? Little Pussy Malanga worked for who?

Hi. It is just a probability assumption: in the first episode of Season 5 when Tony and Bobby watches the news about the relase of La Manna and Blundetto, the newsreporter states that both LaManna and Blundetto were prime suspects in the car-bomb killing of Gilardi. In the 80s LaManna was one of the most respected and fearest capo in the DiMeo Crime Family. Due the fact in the maffia, a capo rarely whacks somebody himself, and need permission of their capo to whack made men. I guess Tommy Gilardi one of the original La Manna Crew soldiers in the 80s, and La Manna was suspect for to take the order!? Beforehand thanks for your opinions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.98.91.12 ( talk) 14:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Why is there a copyright image notice on the page? The page only has 8 images on it in full and there's like tons of characters. Only 8 of them are getting images, so that shouldn't be a problem at all, 8 images is like nothing. Imagine if all 135 characters on the page got an image, then it might pose somewhat of a problem. But right now, it shouldn't be any problem of copyright, none whatsoever. - 72.229.48.178 ( talk) 16:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Somebody recently changed the article for Jackie Aprile, Jr. into a redirect. Since this list has no bio info for him, could someone write one? -- azumanga ( talk) 01:23, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
I recently edited the section to indicate that he was referred to as "Email" by Christopher Moltisanti, but some thoughtless "user" un-did my edit.
For the record, on page 25 of the book "The Sopranos on the couch", by Maurice Yacowar, it is written:
"With the cocky insensitivity of the young and shallow, Chris calls Emil Email." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.205.252 ( talk) 05:23, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
"E-Mail" is simply a mispronunciation of his name, not a nick name. -- Ted87 ( talk) 23:58, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Anyone add Slava to the Sopranos associates? Darwin's Bulldog ( talk) 06:09, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Not to get technical here, but there is a fairly prominent picture of Dickie Moltisanti shown at the end of the episode " For All Debts Public and Private". The morning following the murder of Det. Barry Haydu, Christopher is sitting at the table at his mother's house looking at a picture of Dickie holding a baby (presumably Christopher). The man in the picture looks just like actor Michael Imperioli (who plays Christopher in the series) so maybe it's actually him or possibly his father or uncle or somebody. Does anyone have any info on this?
While not directly shown, it's interesting how when Christopher gets up to put the $20 dollar bill he took from Haydu on the refrigerator, his mother sits down at the table and places the picture of Dickie face down on the table. Darwin's Bulldog ( talk) 21:11, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

There are currently five pages which detail the characters in the Sopranos: 1. /info/en/?search=List_of_The_Sopranos_characters 2. /info/en/?search=List_of_The_Sopranos_characters_%E2%80%93_Friends_and_family 3. /info/en/?search=List_of_The_Sopranos_characters_in_the_Soprano_crime_family 4. /info/en/?search=List_of_The_Sopranos_characters_in_the_Lupertazzi_crime_family 5. /info/en/?search=FBI_on_The_Sopranos
Recommend that these pages all be consolidated to one page. Alternatively, recommend that all pages except List_of_The_Sopranos_characters be deleted. DiabetesT1 ( talk) 16:01, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
*Oppose. There are far too many characters to all be put in one page, this is why there are multiple pages.

User:Edimeo25, This shows Tony holding a newspaper in season 1 showing the date being in June 1998. Do you know which episode you heard Pussy say "war of 99"? I'd like to check that, but the newspaper is pretty convincing, so there may be a hole in the plot there. Vaselineeeeeeee ★★★ 17:45, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
User Vaseline, Pussy says it in episode 4 after the news report about Jackie's death when they are in the Bada Bing. "Here we go. War of 99." It seems some time passes between the pilot and episode 2. In real life of course this is due to a year's break in filming the pilot and the rest of the season. But in the show, in the pilot, Tony is regarded as the boss. Tony, when describing Jackie's health problems to Melfi, says Jackie beat the cancer initially but it recurred. So Tony first took over Jackie's duties in the pilot (mid 1998), then Jackie comes back and Tony is Capo again by episode 2 but Jackie is sick again and dies two episodes later (mid 1999). So the pilot takes place in the September, and the rest in late spring early summer? Meadow is playing soccer later in the show's season. Soccer's both a fall and spring sport.
Either way, Pussy still says "Here we go. War of 99," so the rest of season 1 is around mid-1999 while the pilot is September 1998.
Also Tony in the season finale, when discussing the revelation with his crew about seeing a shrink, says he'd been seeing Melfi for "4 or 5 months." If the season starts off in September, 4 or 5 months later would place the finale in January or February. It's definitely not the dead of winter when Junior tries to kill Tony. Leaves on the trees when Mikey is shot, nobody's wearing winter clothing. It's late spring , summer, maybe even early fall. Tony's not the most truthful person in the world so he's been seeing her longer, more like 8, 9 months, maybe close to a year during the warmer seasons.
Pussy says "here we go, War of 99," in the Bada Bing when they find out Jackie dies. So it's 1999 by episode 4. Johnny's death is unknown until season 5 when Tony meets Fran, Johnny's goomar, at Johnny's grave, where it is finally established that he died in 1986. Of course the gravestone also says he was born in 1924, and he is supposed to be the younger brother of Junior, who is stated to be around 70-72 in the first three seasons, making Junior born around 1930. The timeline is messy.
In season 1 episode 3, Meadow and Hunter take meth to help with studying for the upcoming SAT's and choir show. SAT's are taken in the spring of a high school student's junior year, which Meadow and Hunter are in the middle of. So this would mean it's spring 1999. And in episode 4 when Pussy says "here we go, war of 99," he isn't referring to an upcoming event. He is referring to the present. Junior and Mikey have just killed Brendan, Jackie has died without naming a successor. There has been talk of war throughout the episode (the meeting with the captains, Junior rejecting Tony's offer of compromise and telling Tony to come in "heavy" or don't come at all). The War of 99 is initially averted but then resumes a few episodes later. As I said earlier, the pilot may take place June 17, 1998, but the rest of the season occurs in the spring of 99. -Edimeo25 20:05 7 July, 2021
February 22, 2022 Update*
The wiki fandom page is fan edited just like this page. And it's riddled with inconsistencies, part of which are based on an inconsistent timeline a redditor made, linked above. For instance this same wiki has AJ's date of birth as June 17, 1986. So he’d turn 13 in 1999. Probably the year the season is supposed to be set anyway. The pilot was filmed August 1997 and maybe the creators thought the pilot would air on TV or in theaters by June 98. (This is before the rest of the series was picked up and filmed in the summer of 1998). The Lupertazzi family section has a completely fabricated backstory in the family's origins. “Giovanni Lupertazzi” doesn't exist in the series, nor is he mentioned in any books.
The season has several inconsistent prop dates. See more below. Which should we go with?
All the proof you need that the bulk of season 1 takes place in 1999. Jackie has died without naming a successor, Junior kills one of Tony's guys (Brendan) and mock-executes Tony’s beloved nephew. Tony and Junior's first sit-down goes bad and Junior tells Tony to “come in heavy or not at all.” They are about to go to war right then and there, hence Pussy's line about "War of '99."
Another item, and I also brought this up before in an above posting, in the previous episode, Meadow and Hunter need to study for the SATs (said during choir practice). SATs are usually first taken in the spring semester of a student’s junior year of high school. Meadow is a junior in the first season. And it isn’t a case of only Meadow and Hunter taking them early in the school year or something, the entire choir acknowledges they are taking the SATs as well. Season 1, episode 3, 8:21 to 8:35 mark. June 1998 is too late, September 1998 is too early, so the only logical option in a typical student’s junior year is spring. So it’s spring 1999.
Tony actually says "about 10 years ago." Not 12. It's right there in the episode when he calls Chris on the phone. The person who made the reddit timeline that's causing this screw-up either mis-heard or was trying to make the timeline fit his/her head-canon.
In the northeast United States (where I live), the weather is (usually) still cold, grass is wilted and yellow, and trees haven't even begun to bud yet. The summer/early fall-like weather and plant life in the episode contradicts the date.
Wait a minute, the prayer card said March 24, 1999, how could the next episode take place 5 months earlier in October 23, 1998?
Season 2 begins late summer 1999, at least according to a date someone found, at least "three weeks" after the end of the season 1 finale (Junior states this when Tony comes to visit in season 2 episode 2). The kids are back in school and Meadow is beginning her senior year of high school. Maybe season 1 ends early autumn at best, it’s summer-like throughout the whole season. Late spring to very early fall at the latest.
Even Tony's line that he started seeing Melfi "4 or 5 months ago" is inconsistent. If 4 or 5 months have passed since June, the season finale would have to take place as late as October or November. By then it’s getting colder in reality. Being a criminal he could be lying and it could have been a year or more depending when season 1 is set. The pilot in June 1998 and the rest in late spring into summer or early fall 1999 makes the most sense. This would also account for everyone aging a year between episode 1 and the rest. And account for the weather.
This puts it in line with the season 2 timeline: Season 2 (Summer 1999 – June 2000)
• 2.02 "Do Not Resuscitate" — Tony says to Junior it took "3 fucking weeks" to put him on his visitors list; Tony's kids are in school
• 2.06 "The Happy Wanderer" — Meadow's friend Rachel got early acceptance to Wesley College
• 2.08 "Full Leather Jacket" — Hunter got early college acceptance
• 2.07 "D-Girl" — The clapperboard used at the filming of Michelle Foreman's movie has the date "8/26/99"; the date "February 8, 1999" is on the Waste News newspaper that Pussy is reading
That August 26, 1999 is inconsistent after all. It should be well into September by now. But Paulie and Sil would still be promoted in 1999, not 2000.
• 2.08 "Full Leather Jacket" — Meadow says she's 18 (her birthday is in the springtime in 4.12 "Eloise"; in 6.15 "Remember When", it's said she was born shortly after Labor Day 1982)
• 2.10 "Bust Out" — Richie says Tony was supposed to be killed (on Juniors orders in 1.12 "Isabella") "a year ago"; Meadow gets college acceptance letters
The time jump into 2000 has happened around here.
• 2.11 "House Arrest" — Tony reads Waste News with the date "February 8, 1999"
• 2.13 "Funhouse" — Meadow graduates with the "Class of 2000"; Melfi says she's been treating Tony for "2 years" and the hit on him was a year ago; (Big) Pussy is killed
• Weather starts summer-like and is turning autumn-like by 2.11; first snow in series is seen in Tony's fever dream ("spring snow" as Hesh says) in 2.13 Edimeo25 February 22, 2022 6:22 PM EST
This article lists Paulie as the underboss from 1999 onwards. But we see the FBI board in season 3 episode 1, and it clearly lists Tony as being the simultaneous underboss/acting boss (street boss) of the family. While there are some indications that Tony intended Paulie to serve as his defacto #3, everything hints to Paulie's official title being capo before season 6. Tony doesn't appoint a formal underboss of his own until he becomes the official boss -- Darthdyas ( talk) 09:09, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
