The following is a listing of fictional characters from the HBO series, The Sopranos that are friends or family of the Sopranos.
Domenica is Tony's niece. She was born some time after Johnny Sack's incarceration in 2004 and before 2006. Her parents are Bobby Baccalieri and Janice Soprano. Domenica enjoyed the festivities of the Feast of St. Elzear in 2006 where she was already tentatively walking. She was involved in the ride malfunction but did not seem upset and enjoyed the attentions of her Uncle who spun her around in the air. She was seen older at her father's lakehouse when her Uncle Tony came for his birthday. She also has taken the nickname "Nica". In real life the twins are professional wrestler's Tommy Laughlin and Trisa Hayes' daughters. The parents are better known as Tommy Dreamer and Beulah McGillicutty respectively.
Brian is Carmela's cousin and a financial advisor. He assisted her in planning her estate when she worried over her own and her children's futures should anything happen to Tony. Tony and Brian became friends and Brian could later be seen accompanying Tony at parties at the Bada Bing (for Paulie's homecoming) and Chief Smith's casino. Tony set Brian up with Patsy to get cheap designer suits. Brian was also responsible for giving Tony the idea for the HUD scam. Later, he attended Hugh De Angelis' birthday party at Tony's home. Also, he and his wife accompanied Tony and Carmela to an Elton John/Billy Joel concert. Years later, in season 6 part 2, Brian and his pregnant wife bought Carmela's spec house.
Quintina is Livia's younger sister and the mother of Tony Blundetto. Quintina was first seen when she and Livia were planning to board a plane for Arizona. However because the tickets were stolen, the FBI questioned her and Livia. Tony B lived with Quintina for a short time after his release from prison. She is very nervous and always trying to look out for Tony B. and his twin sons.
Tony Soprano's cousin who was imprisoned soon after they became embroiled in a life of crime. Tony B. gets his massage license and tries to set up a massage business. He fails at the business before it gets off the ground, and goes back to crime. Tony S. sets him up in the air bag scam, but it is not enough money for Tony B. To earn extra money, he performs a contract for Rusty and Angelo. After Angelo is killed, Tony B. kills Billy in retaliation. To bring peace with Johnny Sac, Tony S. kills Tony B. by shooting him in the face with a shotgun.
Carmela's father who is in his mid 70s. Hugh has been married to Mary for over 40 years and is a resident of West Orange, New Jersey. Although presumably now retired, Hugh had worked as a contractor, including building Tony and Carmela's house.
Hugh and Mary eat a regular Sunday lunch with Carmela and Tony when they are all on good terms. Hugh has a brother, Lester. During Carmela and Tony's separation, Hugh was eager to see Tony whenever possible and often took Tony's side in family discussions. This is due to a strong sense of tradition. He did not want to be present at a family gathering if "the man of the house" was not there. In the episode "Marco Polo". Hugh has recently been involved in a real estate investment with Carmela involving a spec house. However construction of the spec house was halted after a building inspector found that low-quality wood had been used. Carmela blamed her father for the setback and Hugh became angry that Carm was treating him as a subordinate rather than a partner. After Tony's shooting, Hugh stole items from the house's storage garage and abandoned the house. Carmela discovers this months later and scolds him about the permit - Hugh again becomes enraged at her attitude. Their feud leaves Mary meeting with Tony and Carmela alone while Hugh stays home. Carmela and Hugh reconciled enough for him to attend Christmas celebrations at the Soprano home later that year - after Carmela's spec house started to go ahead again.
Carmela's mother who is in her mid 70s. Mary is married to her husband Hugh De Angelis of over 40 years. Shortly after her daughter Carmela began dating Tony Soprano she became extremely protective of her daughter and tried to prevent her from marrying him. After Carmela got married, the De Angelises met Tony's mother, Livia Soprano, at whom they became very angered after Livia told Carmela that "Tony would get bored of her." Mary had a brother named Febby who died of cancer. Mary and Hugh resurfaced in Carmela's life after Livia was put in a nursing home. Recently, Mary has tried to prevent Tony from attending Hugh's 75th birthday party in fear that he would embarrass them in front of Russ and Lena Fegoli, her "cultured Italian friends." Mary wishes to appear as a WASP and is embarrassed by Italian stereotypes. (For example, Mary, when Meadow was born was disappointed at her granddaughter's dark skin tone.) Carmela became angered at her suggestion to ban Tony from the party but decided to put the issue aside. Mary and Hugh continue to surface during family functions and Sunday dinners at the Soprano home. Mary also suffers from psoriasis.
Barbara's husband and Tony and Janice's brother-in-law. He and Barbara live in Brewster, New York with their two children. Apparently he is not involved in criminal activities, and he should not be confused with the capo "Gigi" who died in the toilet. His father is killed one day after retiring, falling off a roof while trying to install a satellite dish. Tom was seen attending the wake of Bobby Baccalieri in the series finale.
Tony's younger sister who lives in Brewster, New York. Barbara tries to avoid being overshadowed by her mob-related family and only visits for family functions, weddings or funerals. She has two children with her husband, Tom. Barbara took part in caring for Junior Soprano as his dementia worsened.
After Tony's shooting by Uncle Junior, Barbara increased the level of contact with her siblings. She took part in keeping a round-the-clock vigil for Tony at the hospital and later attended family Sunday dinners at his home. She accompanied Janice to a viewing when she bought the Sacrimoni household. Seen attending the wake of Janice's late husband Bobby Baccalieri in the series finale.
Tony's one-time protege who is related to both Tony and his wife Carmela. Chris is an alcoholic and drug addict which often leads Tony to doubt his reliability. He is ultimately killed by Tony following a car accident they are both involved in.
Formerly Kelli Lombardo, the widow of Christopher Moltisanti. Kelli was Chris's girlfriend, she became pregnant and she planned to terminate the pregnancy, blaming herself for the lack of contraception. (Baby Caitlin Moltisanti is played by twin girls, Sophia and Anna Lombardo.) When she told Chris, he bemoaned that his supposedly absconded former fianceé Adriana could not have children and immediately suggested they go to Atlantic City and get married. Soon after their marriage, Kelli and Chris make an offer on a new home and move in. They also ate Sunday dinner with the Sopranos and Kelli complimented Tony on his (stolen) wine. Kelli became a regular at Soprano Sunday dinners - attending even when Christopher went to an AA meeting. Christopher's interest in Kelli began to drift and he began an affair with Julianna Skiff while his wife was still pregnant. Kelli remained devoted to Christopher and did not complain about his long absences. She became terrorized by Paulie Gualtieri after he is angered at Christopher for throwing his nephew Little Paulie Germani out of a window. He drives his Cadillac CTS through her gardens destroying her front yard. She attended the Soprano's Christmas celebrations in 2006.
Joanne is the widow of Richard "Dickie" Moltisanti and the mother of Christopher Moltisanti. Joanne has battled alcoholism for many years. She kept a vigil at her son's bedside when he was shot in 2000. When Christopher got revenge for his father's death he visited his mother's home to look through his father's old things. Joanne found him there and they talked about Dickie. Joanne attended Adriana La Cerva's bridal shower when she became engaged to Christopher. Later, she took part in an intervention for Christopher's drug addiction. When Joanne's nephew Tony Blundetto killed Billy Leotardo, Christopher hid from Phil Leotardo at her home. She was intimidated by Phil and Jason Masucci, but did not give up her son.
See separate entry
Corrado was Tony Soprano's paternal grandfather and Junior Soprano's father (see family tree). He emigrated to America from Avellino, Italy in 1910 and worked as a stonemason. He helped to build a church in Tony's old neighborhood, to which Tony occasionally brings his children, so that he can tell them about their heritage. Tony also recalls that when he was 13 his grandfather would let him play around on his construction sites, even allowing him to drive heavy machinery. Junior told a story about his old man smacking him in the mouth as a boy for refusing payment from a wealthy woman he helped. As punishment, Junior was forced to walk home, 11 miles away.
Ercoli was Tony Soprano's uncle and Junior Soprano's brother. Although described as physically well, Ercoli suffered from severe mental deficiencies, and as a result he was institutionalized early in his life and his existence was concealed, even from Tony. Apparently a target for ridicule, Junior remained fiercely defensive of Ercoli even after his death, regretting that he could do nothing more than pay for his care. As Junior grows older he begins to think about his brother and discusses him with Tony. Was named after Corrado and Johnny Soprano's grandfather and shares the same name and nickname, Eckley, as former DiMeo family boss Dominic Ercoli "Eckley" DiMeo.
Harpo is the estranged bastard son of Janice Soprano. Janice said he was named from the song "Harpo's Blues" by Phoebe Snow (as opposed to Harpo Marx). His father, named Eugene, took him back to Montreal and Janice states that she tried to petition the State Department to have him returned to her. Janice mentions that Harpo had become homeless when Tony proposes flying him in for Livia's funeral. Later, she tells Tony that he now goes by "Hal" instead of "Harpo."
Tony's deceased father, a former captain of the Soprano crew. Johnny was married to Livia Pollio and they had three children: Janice, Tony and Barbara. Johnny worked closely with his brother Junior during Tony's childhood. They both went on to become capos in the DiMeo crime family. Johnny was well liked in the organization - boss Ercoli DiMeo was thought to be considering him to take over before his death. Johnny's crew included Paulie Gualtieri and Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero. Sal stood up for Johnny in the unrest of '83 and Johnny's leadership led to him becoming a made man shortly afterwards. Both Sal and Paulie followed Johnny's wishes and supported Tony becoming capo after Johnny's death. Johnny took Tony and his friend Silvio Dante under his wing and brought them up in the organization as part of his crew.
Johnny has only been seen in flashbacks to Tony's childhood or in Tony's dream sequences. Tony once witnessed Johnny cut a finger off of Mr. Satriale while Junior held him in place; Satriale was a degenerate gambler who was avoiding giving Johnny payment. This event led to Tony's first panic attack at the kitchen table that evening. Tony also recalled his father discussing a possible move to Reno, Nevada to manage a restaurant for Rocco Alatore and his mother refusing.
Tony also witnessed Johnny Boy plotting a scheme at a carnival by bringing Janice along. Tony had originally thought that his father favored Janice over him but later learned the truth, that mobsters brought their daughters to their meetings as a foil. When Janice recalled the time Johnny shot Livia through her beehive while they were driving home, Tony thought the anecdote was shameful and made their family look pathetic. Tony described his mother's relationship with his father as wearing him down to "a little nub". Johnny Boy also kept a mistress named Fran Felstein with whom he remained until his death in 1986 of emphysema.
Through the various dream sequences and his therapy sessions, it appears Tony's relationship with his father was never as close as he presumes - an issue that Dr. Melfi has attempted to engage but has been met with dismissal by Tony, who still refuses to delve deeply into his relationship with his father. What is clear is that Johnny Soprano exhibited many traits of a shameless narcissist who placed his own carnal needs above those of his family and used his own children as pawns in his criminal activities.
Comàre (pronounced "goomah") is the Italian word for godmother, which has come to mean "girlfriend" or "mistress."
Svetlana is the maternal cousin of Tony's ex-comàre Irina and is the manager of a home care nursing business. Irina has stated in the past that they have a sister-like rivalry, as Svetlana has a very committed boyfriend whereas Irina does not. During her childhood, Svetlana developed an infection on her leg which was amputated soon afterwards. She was first hired as Livia Soprano's nurse since Janice had left town. When Livia dies, Tony allows Svetlana to remain at Livia's until she can get settled. However, when Janice asks the whereabouts of Livia's phonograph records, Svetlana informs Janice they were promised to her. In revenge, Janice steals Svetlana's prosthetic leg. Svetlana then sends the Russian mob after Janice as a counterattack.
Svetlana resurfaces as Uncle Junior's nurse after he suffers a fall at the courthouse. One afternoon while Uncle Junior is asleep, Tony has sex with Svetlana but they are caught by Junior's nurse, Branca. Irina soon finds out about this and informs Carmela about the affair, prompting Carmela's violent confrontation of Tony and their ultimate separation.
Tony admires Svetlana for her toughness of spirit and her refusal to allow her disability and misfortune to get in the way of her ambitions. Arguably, Svetlana is the most psychologically balanced of all Tony's extramarital affairs. Her intelligence, dry sense of humour and cynicism raise her above many of the beautiful but intellectually-limited women who have been involved with Tony.
Valentina was Tony's mistress during seasons 4 and 5. Of Cuban and Italian descent, she was originally Ralph Ciffaretto's girlfriend, and was drawn to Tony after they met at Hesh's horse stable. Over lunch, she told Tony how Ralph was very eccentric when it came to sex. The following day, they have sex in a hotel room where Valentina plays pranks on him when their lunch arrives. After she pushes Tony to make a decision about staying with his wife or being committed for her, her robe catches fire while trying to cook eggs for Tony. Tony quickly extinguishes the fire but Valentina suffers from third degree burns. Although it is soon disovered that Valentina will never fully heal from the wounds which leave her disfigured and return to her beautiful self, Tony breaks the news to her that he is going back to Carmela. Valentina lives in Fairfield in Essex County, New Jersey.
Irina was Tony's Kazakh comàre during the first two seasons. Tony broke up with Irina because she wanted him to commit to a relationship but he could not because he was still married with children. Irina then attempted suicide but was found by her cousin, Svetlana. As a sign of friendship and apologies, Tony sent Silvio to present her with a bag full of money who told her to move on with her life. In Season Four, when Assemblyman Ronald Zellman tells Tony that he has been dating Irina for quite some time, Tony gets jealous and decides to take matters into his own hands. Tony humiliates Zellman in front of Irina by whipping him with a belt. Svetlana later tells Tony the couple had broken up because, after the emasculating attack, Zellman "could not perform." It was Irina who informed Carmela that Tony was sleeping with Svetlana, which caused their marital separation.
Julianna was almost Tony's new comàre as he recovered from his gunshot in 2006. They met because she was a realtor working for Century 21 and trying to purchase a building owned by Tony (Caputo's Poultry). She was persistent in pursuing the deal, contacting Tony at Satriale's, the Bada Bing and over the phone. At the Bada Bing Tony first made a pass at Julianna but she told him she was going to exercise self control and decline because she was engaged and everything was going well for her. Despite some misgivings eventually her third offer was high enough for him to accept the deal, Tony arranged to meet her at home to sign the papers. When he arrived, they got business out of the way and immediately started kissing and began to undress one another. When the undressing reminds Tony of Carmela's devotion in taking care of him after his gunshot wound, Tony abruptly ends the encounter and walks out. Tony later spotted Julianna on a ride at the Feast of St. Elzear but failed to get her attention.
Following her rejection by Tony, Julianna went to an AA meeting and discussed her feelings at the encounter. Christopher Moltisanti was in attendance and had seen her when she first approached Tony at Satriale's. He introduced himself after the meeting and invited her for coffee which prompted the beginning of an extra marital affair with Julianna. Tony reinitiated his pursuit of Julianna when they met to close the Caputo's poultry real estate deal and she was initially polite in declining any further contact with him. He arranged to meet with her on the basis of starting another real estate deal and this time she was more angry in rejecting his advances.
Despite warnings from both their sponsors Christopher and Julianna's relationship was enabling for the two recovering addicts and they began smoking heroin together. Christopher revealed to Tony his relationship with Julianna to avoid him investigating for himself and discovering their drug use. After a conversation about Chris' disappointment with his life in organized crime (because of failure of others to live by the code of omertà), and their return to drug abuse Julianna worried their relationship was ending and suggested they attend a meeting together. She attended Christopher's wake, encountering Tony and Carmela together as she came to pay her respects.
Gloria Trillo was a car salesperson for Globe Motors, a Mercedes Benz car dealership who was also a patient of Dr. Melfi's. She accidentally met Tony Soprano at Melfi's office, and within days, the two were having an affair. Gloria's father who remains unidentified by name is said to have been an old business associate of Junior Soprano after Tony mentions her name. Corrado says that Gloria Trillo's father had seven daughters (this would be including Gloria) but could not remember little or anything else about the man. It is unknown to what extent Gloria Trillo's father was to Corrado Soprano.
Although a very strong and independent woman, Gloria suffered from severe bouts of manic depression and abusive behavior, which led to several violent clashes with Tony. One such incident occurs after Gloria sees Tony's wife Carmela at her dealership and offers to drive her home. After another clash, Tony is disgusted to realize Gloria has recognized him as a man capable of violence and is trying to provoke him into killing her. Instead, he calls it quits and cuts off all contact with her. This proves to be too much for unbalanced Gloria, as she resorts to hanging herself in her home not long after the break-up. When Tony hears of this, he initially blames Dr. Melfi for Gloria's death, claiming that she did too little to save Gloria, as well as himself. Later, he comes to understand that Gloria was beyond salvation.
Tracee was a dancer who worked at the Bada Bing strip club. Her boss was Silvio Dante who owns the Bada Bing. Tracee was dating Ralph Cifaretto during the time she worked at the nightclub. Tracee was young, but she already had one child and was pregnant with another one that she believed was Ralph's. Tracee drives a custom built Harley Davidson motorcycle. She was a cocaine addict. Tracee tried to go to Tony for help, but he didn't want to help her. Tracee was in the back room of the Bada Bing one night, and she insulted Ralph giving off the impression that he had erectile disfunction. She then walked outside to the back parking lot. There she and Ralph made up, but Ralph made an insulting joke about Tracee's child and Tracee punched him and spit on him. Ralph got angry, and ended up beating Tracee to death in the parking lot by cracking her head against a guard rail. When Tony Soprano learned of this shortly after it happened, he punches Ralph in the face, blaming Ralph for her death and for disrespecting the Bada Bing. This caused great tension between Tony and Ralph.
A local priest who is fond of Carmela Soprano. Tony feels uncomfortable always having Father Phil over since he thinks Carmela is in love with him. Carmela denies this "by using Father Phil as a spiritual mentor to become a better Catholic." One evening, with Tony and Meadow in Maine and AJ at a friend's house, Father Phil visits Carmela who is sick and the two share ziti and wine together. Father Phil stays the night with some awkwardness during the morning after. Tony later finds out and verbally taunts Father Phil. Father Phil has stood his ground ever since but Carmela could only help but get jealous when she sees him with another woman who feeds him a dish she prepared. Later on, Father Phil is usually seen on the series celebrating mass (particularly funerals), at Soprano family functions, and at charity functions coordinated by Carmela. He was shown bedside, comforting Carmela when Tony was comatose.
Vic was a decorator whom Carmela Soprano hired to wallpaper the dining room in her home. He was also the brother-in-law of David Scatino. Carmela and Vic once kissed in the powder room Carmela is considering renovating but after Vic discovers that Tony has taken over David's sports store as a result of David's gambling addiction (which has subsequently left him bankrupt), he cancels his lunchdate with Carmela. Vic sends his assistant to complete the redecoration. The two later have an awkward meeting in a paint shop.
Robert Wegler had a relationship with Carmela Soprano while she was separated from her husband Tony. He was AJ's high school guidance counselor and they met through this relationship. It also proved to be their downfall as Wegler felt that Carmela was sexually manipulating him to improve AJ's college prospects.
Boyfriend of Janice Soprano in 2001. Aaron was a devout fundamentalist Christian which suited Janice's religious choice of the day (and would occasionally irritate Tony). They tried to make Christian rock music together. Aaron was also narcoleptic and an occasional Sunday dinner guest at the Soprano residence. He later appeared at the hospital while Tony recovered from his coma.
A young Chinese-American patient at Junior's halfway home who helps Junior organize a card game between patients. He is intelligent (a visitor references his time at M.I.T.), but has serious mental issues relating to his parents. He has many similar attributes to the Randle McMurphy character from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey who would be portrayed by Jack Nicholson in the film version. He looks up to Junior Soprano as a role model to shape after himself during his stay at the mental institution. Eventually after Corrado comes to terms with his ailments and takes his medication Carter becomes disillusioned and angry at Corrado for this obvious sign of defeat and betrayal to him, and gives him a beating.
Dr. Cusamano's wife who is a stay-at-home mom. Friend of Carmela, but embarrassed and intimidated by the Soprano family's mafia connections. In "I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano", Tony told Dr. Melfi he had fantasized about Jeannie during a dream, rather than admit that Dr. Melfi was the subject of his fantasy. Jeannie's twin sister, Joan (also played by Saundra Santiago), was harassed into writing a recommendation for Meadow's college application by Carmela in "Full Leather Jacket".
She is described by Tony Soprano as the "best friend" of his mother Livia Soprano from when she was married to "Johnny Boy" Soprano and was a regular attendee with Livia to Anthony Soprano, Jr.'s birthday parties. Fanny cannot drive due to physical ailments brought on by her age and relys on Livia to drive her around. Livia accidentally hits her with her car after driving her home, breaking her hip. Despite this, Fanny was one of the few people with something nice to say about Livia at her wake - that she always kept her informed when someone died.
Fran was the longterm comàre of Johnny Boy Soprano until his death in 1986. She is based on real life John F. Kennedy mistress Judith Exner. Tony met Fran at his father's graveside and started a short association with her where she told him about her relationship with his father. He also learned that when his mother forced his father to give his childhood pet away, the dog - Tippy - went to Fran and her own son. She was also a mistress of President John F. Kennedy who had an affair with the President until Jacqueline Kennedy discovered about the affair after finding them together in the Oval Office. She was extremely gorgeous in her younger years. Fran appealed to Tony to secure her promised share in a go-karting track that was co-owned by Johnny Boy with Hesh Rabkin and Phil Leotardo, which he did.
George is the father of AJ Soprano's one time friend, Jeremy Piocosta and an acquaintance of Tony Soprano. When AJ and Jeremy fight in school in 1999, George becomes afraid that Tony will seek revenge and avoids contact with him. In 2001, George seems to have overcome his worries as he watches AJ's high school football game alongside Tony.
Roberta was a long-term friend/comare of Junior Soprano. He often took her down to Boca Raton, Florida on weekends and had set her up with an office job. Roberta and Junior's relationship ended in 1999 when Tony got word from Carmela that his uncle performed cunnilingus on Bobbi, and Tony then made taunting references to this at a golf game. Bobbi had started the rumor herself by discussing her sex life at a nail parlor also frequented by Carmela. Junior had warned Bobbi never to talk about this aspect of their relationship because it would cost him respect. Realizing that she had ignored his wishes, Junior stormed into her office and ended their sixteen-year relationship. Junior was so furious that Bobbi was afraid he would harm her, but in the end, he just fired her and smushed a lemon meringue pie in her face. In the following season, after Junior's release from prison into house arrest, he asks Bobby Baccala whether any of his acquaintances have called to express sympathy or concern, and specifically asks about Bobbi Sanfillipo. Baccala tells Junior that Sanfillipo has married and moved away.
David Scatino is a childhood friend of Tony Soprano. He is often called Davey. He owns the local sporting goods store (Ramsey Sports and Outdoors) and his son, Eric, was a good friend of Meadow. Reluctantly, Tony allowed David to participate in a high stakes poker game with full knowledge that he did not have the financial assets or poker savvy to win or break even. David quickly became heavily indebted to Tony. Tony took over his business, and took David's son's car as a down payment. The car was given to Meadow, but she quickly rejected it when she realized it once belonged to her friend. Having lost his life savings, his business, his son's college fund, and the respect of his family, he divorced and moved out west to work on a ranch near a major gambling destination.
In The Telltale Moozadell, Meadow informs Tony that David later went into a mental facility. The devastation of his friend's life was acknowledged as one of Tony's more ruthless actions. Tony told David that he had subconsciously planned to profit from David's gambling habit, in accordance with his nature. However, it is notable that Tony later took offense when his other high school friend, Artie Bucco, became similarly indebted and suggested the same thing. It therefore seems more likely that Tony, in fact, deliberately exploited David to punish his carefree, optimistic nature, an interpretation of Tony's actions that was suggested by his therapist Dr. Melfi.
It is also noted in another episode of Season 3 that Eric Scatino has begun to use psychedelic drugs heavily, to which Meadow expresses disappointment, saying that "he used to be so straight-edge". No doubt his compromised education at the hands of his father's irresponsibility (he had to settle for a state college despite getting into Georgetown) is already beginning to cost him his future.
Owner of Satriale's Pork Store. We only see Francis in a flashback. He is a successful independent neighborhood businessman who is familiar with the ways of the La Cosa Nostra and is well liked and known in the neighborhood. Johnny Boy had known Francis for a long time and had been a regular guest at his house. Apparently, he owed Johnny Boy Soprano a sufficient amount of money which he had received through Johnny Boy's loanshark operation. He is a wholesaler who sells a variety of meat products. Johnny Boy informs him that he had been avoiding a meeting with him to discuss his overdue debt. Tony, as a youth, followed his dad to the pork store without his dad knowing. During one of Johnny Boy's final visits with Francis, he attempts to barter with Soprano by informing him of all the fine meats he had given Livia recently free of charge for compensation. Johnny Boy becomes enraged at Francis trying to barter his way out of his debt with the meat deliveries. There, Johnny Boy chopped off Francis' pinky with a cleaver. He half-heartedly apologizes to Francis in having been forced to inflict punishment upon him. In a later episode, ...To Save Us All From Satan's Power, Paulie mentions that Francis committed suicide with a gun. It is suspected that Francis committed suicide having been faced with being murdered over his large debt to Johnny Boy. Johnny Boy later is suspected of acquiring the business and therefore ultimately clearing his family of the debt brought upon them.
Rosalie Aprile's daughter. Kelli attended the funeral of her brother, Jackie Aprile, Jr. and suggested that the mafia was responsible for his death. Meadow Soprano chastised her for speaking of their family connections in front of an outsider and suggested that Kelli lacked loyalty.
Son of Bobby Bacala and Karen Baccalieri, brother of Sophia Baccalieri. He is referred to as "Bobby Jr." although his father is actually the second "Bobby". Bobby Jr.'s mother died in a car accident in 2002. He was often the victim of bullying from A.J. Soprano who locked him in Furio Giunta's garage at Furio's housewarming party. A.J. pulled another prank on Bobby Jr. after his mother's death – first convincing him to play with a ouija board and then faking a séance and pouring water on Bobby Jr. This prompted Janice Soprano to clandestinely use a ouija board in the Bacalieri household to scare the children and convince Bobby Bacala to put his grief behind him. Bobby Jr.'s father later remarried Janice, who became Bobby's stepmother. Bobby Jr. was involved in the ride malfunction at the 2006 Feast of St. Elzear festival. His relationship with his father became more distant in his teenage years and he refused to play with his father's trainset and watch a Giants game with his father. Janice continues to use her manipulative skills with Bobby Jr. She controls his behavior by threatening him with a public reading of a report card to keep him home for Sunday dinner and to do his homework. Bobby Jr. cited A.J.'s behavior as a reason why he should be able to avoid family engagements.
Karen was Bobby Baccalieri's wife until her death in a car accident in 2002. They had two children, Bobby III and Sophia. Karen was friends with Carmela Soprano, Rosalie Aprile and Gabriella Dante and attended church functions with them. Bobby kept Karen's last baked ziti in the freezer for a long time following her death as he didn't feel ready to eat it.
Daughter of Bobby and Karen Baccalieri, sister of Bobby Baccalieri III. Sophia's mother died in a car accident in 2002. Sophia's father later remarried and Janice Soprano became Sophia's stepmother. Sophia played soccer in school and Janice once got into a headline making altercation with another soccer mom at one of Sophia's games.
Tony Blundetto's identical twin sons who spent time with him between his release from prison and death in 2004.
Tony Blundetto's estranged daughter. Tony Soprano told the NY family that he had spent the evening with Tony B. searching for her to provide him with an alibi for the killing of Joe Peeps.
Daughter of Pat Blundetto and cousin to Tony Soprano, Tony Blundetto and Christopher Moltisanti. Louise helps her father move out of his home on the farm to a smaller place.
Ralph Cifaretto's son who impales himself while practicing target practice with a bow and arrow with a friend while Ralph is in the bathtub. Ralph became very distraught over his son's serious injury, one of the few times he actually shows his true emotions to his criminal associates. Paulie Walnuts argues with Tony that they are, "alligator tears". Although his son in hospitalized and in the emergency ward recovering from the injury he still produced more illicit funds from his criminal enterprising then the rest of the Soprano crew. He also allegedly arranged to have the stables which held Tony's prized race horse ablaze to pay for his son's overwhelming hospital bills. It could be said that his son's Justin's accident led to Ralph's death after he decided to commit arson, covering up the stable blaze as an electrical fire. Justin does not fully recover from the hospital before his father's murder and subsequent disappearance.
Angie Bonpensiero is the late Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero's wife. They had three children, including sons Kevin and Matt, at college age in 2000, and daughter Terri, who was married and trying to conceive with her husband in 2000. Angie was unaware of her husband's status as an FBI informant. His disappearance when he was afraid his friends were on to him and subsequent erratic behaviour created problems for their relationship. When she and Pussy were having marital problems, Angie considered suicide and divorce. She discussed this with her horrified friends Gabriella Dante, Rosalie Aprile and Carmela Soprano over lunch. She also revealed that she had been unwell since Pussy's return and had been investigated for cancer. Pussy had remained indifferent to her health problems and seemed more concerned about spraying WD-40 on his pocket knife. At Carmela's urging to stay true to her Catholic faith, Angie decided to move into a separate bedroom rather than end their marriage. Later, when Pussy arrives home and silently presents flowers to Angie, she smiles for a moment but then swats him with them.
After Pussy "disappeared" for good, Angie believed that he had left her and decided to move on with her life. Tony continued to compensate Angie in her husband's absence - she used the money to buy a fancy new Cadillac but still complained to Carmela about her strained finances. As punishment, Tony damaged the car and took away her allowance. Soon, Carmela finds Angie giving out free samples at the local Pathmark and they lost contact. Tony has since made her the manager of Pussy's body shop.

"Nucci" is introduced as Paulie Gualtieri's elderly mother who is very nervous and protective of her son. When Paulie was younger, Nucci was always there to bail him out of jail and to defend him from the neighbors. After Tony had placed his own mother in the Green Grove Nursing Home, Paulie followed his lead and found Nucci a spot and she soon moved in. Unlike Tony's mother though, Nucci was grateful for Paulie to do this for her. However, her old friends, Cookie Cirillo and Minn Matrone were far from friendly and tried to exclude her from social activities. To avenge his mother's honor, Paulie sent Benny and her grandson Little Paulie to badly beat Cookie's son, after which the two were forced to include her. Paulie later murdered Minn Matrone for her money. Nucci played an active role in getting Paulie to help Sal Vitro reclaim his landscaping business when Feech La Manna's nephew stole all of his customers.
Paulie learns from his Aunt Dottie's deathbed that she is his mother and that Nucci adopted her nephew as her child. When Paulie hears this, he cuts off all contact with both of them, refusing to attend Dottie's funeral or pay for Nucci's accommodation at Green Grove. Nucci and Paulie reconnected at the Feast of St. Elzear festival - Nucci criticized Paulie for his involvement in organizing the festival as a ride malfunction had injured a child. Later Paulie visited her at Green Grove (now paid for by her biological son) and they had a silent reconciliation.

Paulie heard this, and sneaked into Minn's house late at night. Paulie was looking for the money, but Minn caught him. Minn threatened to call the police on Paulie, but Paulie hung up the phone. Minn ran out of her room, but was chased by Paulie in the hallway. Paulie threw Minn on the ground, and suffocated her with a pillow.
JoJo was the wife of Mikey Palmice - a soldier in Junior's crew and consigliere to Junior when he became boss. JoJo is a short form for the names Joanna, Joanne, Jody and Josephine although it is never known what her true name is because that is all Mikey refers to her as.
