The rape scene/episode was huge. I love the moral conflict that weighed on Bracco’s character. When I first watched it I definitely wanted her to confide in Tony and have him handle it in only a way Tony Soprano would’ve handled it. But it made me view her character through a staunch view with her sincerely being committed to helping Tony navigate through his own personal struggles and having him become a better version of himself.
I understand what the point was of Melfie not telling Tony for the show. I just wanted him to somehow hear about it. The rapist would have been "dealt with".
I was devastated when Dr Melfi was raped and felt the same, how could they have hurt her so horrifically. And Lorraine Bracco should absolutely have won an Emmy for that episode, she was incredible in it.
Carmella is without a doubt a serious mafioso in her own way, struggling with her guilt of being and knowing whats going with Hubby's "profession". She knows how to use her unseen power too. As deadly and tough as Tony.
I always felt Lorraine Bracco is such a classy New York dame. There's just something about her. And there's also something about Edie Falco too. Aida Turturro was such an amazing actress all I can see when I see her is Janice. Just brilliant. Jamie-Lynn Sigler? Oh gawd she's so gorgeous. Such a JAG (Jewish American Goddess). This has become my favorite show in such a long time thanks partly to these four women.
Lorraine Bracco is the only one who has more of a New York/New Jersey accent in real life than her character on the show. The others have a big Jersey accent on the show and sound relatively "normal" in real life.
What dumpster did they drag this reporter out of, she is clueless stating that the women didn't play much of a role in the series. I think every Woman that played on that show had a very important role in making that show, there isn't one thing that I would change about The Sopranos.
Agreed - the unsung moral heroine of the entire series Charmaine; her stupid husband didn't realize she was trying to save him from Tony and himself. She was amazing. And what about Drea de Mateo's character - Chris' gf - amazing too. She's a younger version of Carmella Soprano - selling her soul for shoes and trinkets and diamonds and not facing what her bf/spouse does to get them. Amazing cast of women. They stole show from the men.
Charmaine was outstanding. She and Melfi were the only people who Tony never corrupted. But to suggest that the women stole the show from the men is ludicrous. You don't have a show without Tony Soprano and the violence and the blood. The women make it more interesting to be sure.
I'm 99% sure this interview's from the time of the show based on them talking about still receiving scripts, and the fact that they all look exactly the same as they did on the show lol.
Lorraine is right about the show being a Millennials’ Ozzie and Harriet. The host reporter represents that generation well, her arrogance blinds her from being objective and intellectually honest. Anyway, love the writing and acting on the show. Great cast and great show.
i knew from the beggining richie was going to get killed, it happened to eery new character. i actually proved it over the series, every new character that was introduced out of nowhere and got too much screen time was going to get killed off, and it happened every time except for a few people. i didn't give a shit about richie but i hated janice soooo fucking much she was so fucking stupid i hated that character and when she killed richie it was like the best thing ever bc it was obvious he was going to get killed but i never imagined that she was the one who was going to do it, i was so happy bc tony send her off and i thought that was the eprfect ending for her character but then they reintroduced her and i fucking died but anyways.
@@anezzzz The way she was sent off. 'what did you do Tony?' "He's buried up on a hill overlooking a river with pine cones everywhere". "Oh really?!?!" "What the fuck Janice..." LOL!
I see why some viewers hate Janice, but I don't quite get why Richie is so widely hated. Is it because he's a threat to Tony, the protagonist who the audience empathizes with and relates to? Is it about who Richie is? Do some people see in him out of anybody something special that makes them angry? I don't see people express the same sentiments about Ralph or Phil. With those characters there's usually more affection, I find.
@@officialgoogleyoutube Every character on the show at least had an empathetic side that made you, at times, like them, even though they were otherwise criminals. Richie had no such side. He was a perpetually angry, abrasive, hardened character. We enjoyed Phil because he was just so ridiculous. ("20 years in the can!") And his whacking was the best of the series. I don't think anyone was sorry to see Ralph go.
This is going to sound weird, but from all the rape scenes I've seen in films, Lorraine Bracco's was probably the most intense and the most shocking. Monica Bellucci's in Irreversible comes second.
hot: I think Carmela was pissed Melfi admitted they got their scripts earlier than Carm had just said they did. Melfi completely contradicted what she had just said.
Of all the interviews people have done with Sopranos cast members, Edie is by far the most detached from the show. I love Edie. And as amazing as she was on the show, it's like she wants nothing to do with it.
@@rickyj1250 She'll always be known by most as Carmella. And there were many on the Sopranos who were just as successful and more well known. I'm just saying, she just doesn't seem to embrace the show.
She sees it as another acting job and doesn’t get swept away in it. She is very grounded and I love that about her. She has the same detachment when talking about her other character in Nurse Jackie.
Interesting women characters on the show? Carmela, Adriana, Janice, and above all, Livia, the greatest villain in TV history. It's one thing to be Jennifer Melfi, a character who gets to think out loud with Tony, her partner, and Elliott Kupferberg. We know what she thinks and feels. But it's another thing to be Adriana and Carmela, who are compromised, trapped, and suffocated in the world of wiseguys all at the same time. We can Only Guess at the depth of their loneliness and regret, and that's what draws me in.
Check out 3:03 how Carmela (forgot her real name) rolls her eyes extremely at what Melfi is saying, and then they have cut the footage and pasted it to another moment!! So something happened there, that they obviously didnt want to show.
Lol, she was probably fed up with hearing about that rape scene. That was probably was LB's best shot at winning an Emmy, and she lost to Edie Falco (Carmela).
I have to say the obvious here, the reporter...I don't know...could she at least pretend to be excited to interview them? Her charisma is just a notch above a dead person.
Mengele went home and hugged his kids too. I don't think anyone was rooting for Tony. The Sopranos was a great series that a US audience had never seen before, and broke many rules about what can be done on television, but ultimately it was about America and Capitalism.
Charmaine has this thing about her where she girl/flirts in ways where she doesn't even mean to. To me, that's what makes me want her. Every time she was in a scene her character was flirting and doing girl shit, how could I resist her.
Janice took the jacket of me that I took of Rocco De Maeo, I was the toughest guy on the block. But I didnt come around when Janice got throught with me.

Lorraine Bracco has the most amazing personality
@New Jack City i get it man lmfao
she’s very… loud
Where the hell is Drea De Matteo?
Adriana in the show
6 feet under a bunch of leaves
fucking rat
She was the best piece of ass on the whole show!
In my pants
How could Drea De Matteo not be there?!
shadowman2192 I agree, Meadow was not as important/did less for the show as Adrianna was, so it is really surprising that she would not be called in
Where's Charmaine? She not only was the hottest, but she was the best actress and female character on the show!
She's way too shy and gets very nervous doing interviews.
MrRizon She went on Letterman for the Top 10 list. I guess that would be easier than this, though.
+Draven Silvio made sure she wouldn't be anywhere anymore.
weird how Janice is sooo like Janice
It’s equally weird how Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig’s disease...
@@navyguyinva - you gonna tell that joke every fuckin time? ;)
@@IgnorancEnArrogance I'm sorry. Everything is so fucking morbid
Weird how Notre Dame has the hunchback and Notre Dame has those football players
keflar5 I loved Janice after she shot Richie...

meadow became so hot over the years
I'd eat her
After her nose job and diet.
@Daniel Treadwell close your eyes and my balls will empty adventurer. 😃
You know who her father is?
Her body is mad ripe!
Tony feared no one except Carmela.
And his mother....her above all else.
I still cry when I watch the rape scene. When Tony tried later to get her to talk about it it was a great scene.
I understand what the point was of Melfie not telling Tony for the show. I just wanted him to somehow hear about it. The rapist would have been "dealt with".
Edie Falco was sitting a few feet from me at a Knicks game last year. She looked great.
These were all amazing characters but Livia was the MVP female of the show. Oh, poor you!
@johnny burt miss her
Jamie-Lynn Sigler is just unbelievable.
I was devastated when Dr Melfi was raped and felt the same, how could they have hurt her so horrifically. And Lorraine Bracco should absolutely have won an Emmy for that episode, she was incredible in it.
Livia was the best female character on the show
Heard she was a complete trip to work with too, brilliant woman and brilliant actress! RIP Nancy!
Nancy Marchand is dearly missed...
What happened to her?
@@desmondk7962 She died of Lung Cancer.
Ooooo poor you....
Carmella is without a doubt a serious mafioso in her own way, struggling with her guilt of being and knowing whats going with Hubby's "profession". She knows how to use her unseen power too. As deadly and tough as Tony.
gilfavor1river true thug life
What threaten ?! When talking to that lady from Georgetown
She was just as guilty as Tony and she knew better the whole time.
still crushing hard on Meadow after all these years hahaha
Janice was the best female character and one of the best characters overall. She was fascinating to me, her storyline was so well written.
I think all the actresses were great but her character was so annoying.
Angie Bompensario didn't get as much screentime, but loved her character arc.
Finally someone says it
@@tmalone2530 that was the point though, that's why she was such a good character. so funny
Me too I taught Janice and Livia was the most interesting female characters too. The actresses was amazing
It's a shame Nancy Marchand couldn't be there. RIP Nancy great lady

I just finished watching season 4. The last episode was a masterpiece. Falco's performance was stellar.
Ok
@@Fusion991 Bluce Ree is not wrong. Whitecaps was some of the best acting in the history of television.
@@Capcoor Much agreed. Falco was incredible in the S4 finale
i love lorraines voice
Imagine if only Nancy Marchand could have been there wow
Ricky Roma because it would’ve been cool to hear her opinions as well. Make sense or is that too complicated for you?
Lorraine Bracco is the only one who has more of a New York/New Jersey accent in real life than her character on the show. The others have a big Jersey accent on the show and sound relatively "normal" in real life.
I love that top that Edie is wearing. She’s so beautiful.
Carmela lookin' the goods.
daaaammmmnnn i could listen to Lorraine voice for hours and yeah in Goodfellas she was beautiful!
J Mark Agreed 100 000%
J Mark she looked very good in
Medicine Man also.
These women more than held their own on the show, they were all amazing, especially edie falco and the actress who plays janice
What dumpster did they drag this reporter out of, she is clueless stating that the women didn't play much of a role in the series. I think every Woman that played on that show had a very important role in making that show, there isn't one thing that I would change about The Sopranos.
Wow, Carmela has aged well and Meadow is gorgeous!! Wish Charmaine were there. She was my favorite female character.

Jeff Brown aged well? THIS was only a couple years or so after the series ended.
they were all briliant in their roles.
Lorraine is right about the show being a Millennials’ Ozzie and Harriet. The host reporter represents that generation well, her arrogance blinds her from being objective and intellectually honest. Anyway, love the writing and acting on the show. Great cast and great show.
Janice...holy shit, she isn't acting on the Sopranos, she just plays herself!
Melfi is still banging. Gotdamn
Nice to see them talk about their characters
Woah..Carmella definitely asked for "The Rachel" but she looks so much better out of character!
All fantastic actresses.
Outstanding actresses !
Janice is an absolute unit.
Aida. Was incredible. In the show. So believable.
Great interview!
As a viewer you hated Richie Apriel. For me it had nothing to do with the fact that she was punched.
I actually didn't give a shit that she was punched. LOL
i knew from the beggining richie was going to get killed, it happened to eery new character. i actually proved it over the series, every new character that was introduced out of nowhere and got too much screen time was going to get killed off, and it happened every time except for a few people.
i didn't give a shit about richie but i hated janice soooo fucking much she was so fucking stupid i hated that character and when she killed richie it was like the best thing ever bc it was obvious he was going to get killed but i never imagined that she was the one who was going to do it, i was so happy bc tony send her off and i thought that was the eprfect ending for her character but then they reintroduced her and i fucking died but anyways.

livia is missing... so 90% of the interesting stuff is also missing
Livia.s actor , has passed.
Michael Moore Livia is Tony's mother right? She passed away in 2000, after the first Sopranos
Chester Marshall Taylor yes that's why I mentioned her
she was a saint...
She died after the second season. They digitally added her for the first episode of the third season.
Total respect for all but especially Edie Falco
Thank You for coming
I remember Lorraine from Goodfellas. Exquisitely beautiful.
you know her sister is vito's wife.
This is going to sound weird, but from all the rape scenes I've seen in films, Lorraine Bracco's was probably the most intense and the most shocking. Monica Bellucci's in Irreversible comes second.
You obviously never saw Deliverance.
No, I haven't. But thanks for the recommendation :D Will check it out!
or I spit on your grave original and remake and straw dogs original and remake
Monica's scene was longer & more explicit
or last house on the left
For those who are thinking why Adriana wasn't there , she actually crawled under the Silvio's bullet for warmth.
"You know what I inherit? My mother....
I took the scars, so it's mine!"
Jamie-Lynn Sigler is beautiful!
Janice is my favorite female character there
3:04 was that an eye roll? irritation? interesting.
Maybe she was rolling her eyes at the fact that her coworker's character had to be raped?
hot: I think Carmela was pissed Melfi admitted they got their scripts earlier than Carm had just said they did. Melfi completely contradicted what she had just said.
Monroe D im sensing tension with thoese two body language says a lot
Jealous reaction look.at the meadow.
good catch i wouldnt of seen it if not mentioned definite eye roll
Great tv show
Of all the interviews people have done with Sopranos cast members, Edie is by far the most detached from the show. I love Edie. And as amazing as she was on the show, it's like she wants nothing to do with it.
She had the most success before/after the sopranos so it makes sense that it's not her whole life like most of her coworkers
@@rickyj1250 She'll always be known by most as Carmella. And there were many on the Sopranos who were just as successful and more well known. I'm just saying, she just doesn't seem to embrace the show.

Hollywood this is how you make dope ass female characters people like to bring up Kim wexler but this show had 5+ kim wexlers all amazing actresses
Big Antony Soprano,wonderfull series,again Soprano's!
Edie: We just do what the writers tell us to do
NYT: OMG, really?????

I just wanna stare at Edie Falco.
God she's so stunning here, right?
Is Aida Turturro related to John and Nick Turturro?
Edie Falco is savage. And Meadow obviously
Edie is amazing
Jamie Lynn fine as hell bruh!
She looks so Italian, but she'sJewish ! She's gorgeous ! ! !
Stone Road ENT sadly she is suffering now
snentz she has MS
Damn Edie Falco looks hot AF here.
youre correct!
Where is the full version?
Aida, Aida, I came for Aida.
I'm glad that Meadow broke up with Jamal Ginsburg the Hasidic Homeboy.
i couldnt stand his snobby little bitch ass
He actually broke up with her, technically speaking.
Check out 3:03 how Carmela (forgot her real name) rolls her eyes extremely at what Melfi is saying, and then they have cut the footage and pasted it to another moment!!

Lol, she was probably fed up with hearing about that rape scene. That was probably was LB's best shot at winning an Emmy, and she lost to Edie Falco (Carmela).
Shame on you edie😮
The women kept me watching more than the gangster shit!
Best mob girl is Lorraine Bracco
Lorraine bracco . Yes please
Wogacelli, I agree with you. I imagine she also turned the other actresses off when she stated that Carmella was "the most interesting character."
WE WANT ADRIANNA!!
damn Meadow is pure class rawr
@ilmf1981 She was in the East River.
Livia and Drea (
Where is Drea??
Meadows is really beautiful, and so hot in that dress
Ah Carmela bella!
I have to say the obvious here, the reporter...I don't know...could she at least pretend to be excited to interview them? Her charisma is just a notch above a dead person.

Wheres Drea De Matteo!!!
Med has MS?
@PeterMayer AOOOOAOOOOOAOOOOH!
They should've add Drea De Matteo, Katherine Narducci, Elizabeth Bracco (Lorraine Bracco' s sister in real life).
Without Adriana, Rosalie Aprile and Charmaine its not complete !!
Dr Melfi used to be married to Harvey Kietel.
adrianna and gloria were 10s :D
