Guitar player for the E street band, David Chase briefly appeared in one scene, Southside Johnny Lyons.

I read somewhere that Rispoli begged David Chase to bring him back with a wig on to play Richie Aprile. Jesus Christ that would have been a disaster. 

I still think Phil is the show's best big bad, but Richie is a very close second. 

1. Richie Aprile

2. Phil Leotardo

3. Ralph Cifaretto

Hard to argue with that list. I don’t recall Carmine or Johnny Sack ever discussing whacking Tony. Bitching about him sure, but they never put anything in motion. 
 

The Junior Feud was a pretty quick boil. Junior found out Tony was meeting with the capos at Green Grove + seeing a psychiatrist,  and he gave the nod. I liked Tony’s response, it was the right move. Punish Junior financially, demote him and Bobby, but don’t kill him because it makes the Sopranos like shit to kill blood relatives.

Meadow trying to parallel park is the most anxious part of that scene. 
 

Tony definitely seems resigned to his fate. Carlo probably puts him in jail or he gets whacked. Tony really didn’t express an opinion on Phil taking a plea. I wish Chase fleshed that out some. Gotti ordered all his guys to not take pleas and many of them are doing life sentences. Some are getting out after 30-40 years inside. If they plead many of them would have done 5-10 years. Almost every mobster pleads now. Jury trials are pretty rare, but if they could put bodies on Tony that would change things. I don’t believe Carlo could give the feds any murders ordered by Tony. Carlo killed Fat Dom with Sil, but that was a spur of the moment deal. I believe thats Carlo’s only on screen murder. 
 

I think Tony would have taken it to trial. Might as well. With his health issues, 10 years in prison is essentially a death sentence.
