Any Sopranos addicts out there ?

I have been a fan ever since it started 5 or 6 years ago (when was it ?)

What do you think of the new series so far ?

Is anyone watching it on E4 ?

Ems - Anthony looks like he did some kind of "fat camp" before this series.... He is so slim now I didn't recognise him ! Wasn't he caught up in drugs or some thing in real life too ?

I wonder whether their TV persona effects them in real life, esp. Tony ?

I love Sicily too, went in 2002 and 2003. Palermo was so quiet by comparison to Naples, I was amazed.

I love it too, although I was a bit horrified by the tedious dream sequence episodes at the beginning! Then it went into the fabulous wedding episode, which was vintage. I miss Adriana too! Agree that Christopher (do we think his surname is spelled Moltosanti? Discuss!)
Surely gorgeous Juliana Margulies isn't going to shag big T?
I love Carmella - I love her too tight clothes, her bizarre, skewed moral universe and everything about her.
And man, aren;t those mobsters getting FAT? I swear they're more blubbery than they used to be. Must be all those canolis, whatever the f* canolis are!

Sorry, neant the prog - never been to Sicily!

italianjob - I went there I think in 1998, with an ex- boyfriend. We spent the whole time arguing, not unlike the Sopranos in fact !

Were did you stay ? We were near a town called Cefalu (spelling ? ) on the North East of the Island. God it was beautiful ! To make up for the crap time I was having with my ex- I used to go down to the hotel coffee shop like 7 in the morning and stuff my face with Sicilian cakes ! The most delicious cakes I have ever eaten....yum...

What is Napels like ?

cannoli IIRC are hornshaped pastry filled with really sweet and creamy ricotta filling. so not the healthiest!

IJ (geddit, AJ, IJ...little Sopranos reference there)

Thanks for that - no wonder they're such fat gits! Oh dear, I think I'm finding this thread a little too exciting. I perhaps ought to get hold of a life

ItalianJob · 31/10/2006 18:29

Naples - gorgeous but madly noisy and busy, and very few traffic lights so you have to dice with death crossing the streets!

We were meant to stay in Cefalu overnight but there was a glitch with our booking, so we ended up getting the night sleeper to Rome instead. Cefalu had a lovely beachside bar that sold ridiculously cheap cocktails. I've also stayed in Palermo, Taormina and Letojanni (cheap package!)

Yes, none of them have problems pulling women do they despite their figures ! Christopher and THAT nose ? Surely he can afford a nose job by now ?

It's all that money and let's face it some women just like a bit of rough (NOT me of course !!!!).

No shame in that italian job - I used to as well despite the nose - and then he went and killed his beautiful finacee and my passion for him went

Meadow's gone a bit strange, hasn't she? She used to rebel against it all a bit and now she seems like the perfect daughter. I think she's horrible and that nice bloke should drop her (and then run very fast).

Yeh, I had high hopes for her esp. as she is a lawyer. But she has become bimbo-fied like her mum.

Better than AJ, though. Now there is, as they say, a waste of a skin
