Adriana La Cerva Adriana La Cerva - Drea de Matteo Adriana was initially portrayed as shallow and materialistic, interested in the things that Christopher's money could buy: expensive cars, jewelry, designer clothing and furs. However, as the couple became closer, she always seemed to have Christopher's best interests (as well as hers) in mind. She was very ambitious and wanted to have a business of her own. She was eventually set up as the manager of Christopher's Crazy Horse club in Long Branch, New Jersey, which became quite successful. The FBI had been targeting Adriana as a potential weakness in the family's organization. Upon the death of Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero, the FBI looked to Adriana as a close relation to a rising star in the crime family and sent Special Agent Deborah Ciccerone to befriend her. The tactic backfired, but the FBI were able to learn of Christopher's heroin problem, which they knew would enrage Tony Soprano. Adriana, loyal to Christopher and his family, avoided giving up any serious information on the family and did her best to avoid the Soprano family house in order to have nothing to give back to the Feds. Her deception caught up with her after the FBI learned of her involvement in a murder and threatened to press charges of being an accessory to murder against her unless she offered full cooperation. She chose to reveal the truth to Christopher, hoping they could run away together and start new lives. Christopher's loyalty to his crime family turned out to be greater than his love for her as he revealed Adriana's status as an informant to Tony Soprano. Tony had Silvio Dante, under the pretense that he was taking her to Christopher, execute her. Some Sopranos fans have argued that Adriana might not have been killed. The primary reasoning for this was that her death was not seen, which was unique in the course of the series—the camera panned upward, away from Silvio and the crawling Adriana, before two gunshots are heard. De Matteo was also under contract to appear in the sixth season. However, in her audio commentary on the fifth season DVD, de Matteo confirmed that Adriana is indeed deceased, and the show's frequent use of dream imagery instead provided for her return; she appeared in a dream of Carmela's in the sixth season premiere. During the sixth season premiere on March 12, 2006, Carmela also asks Tony about Adriana. (He quickly changes the subject) Although she is deceased, Carmela's interest in her whereabouts (not to mention her dreams about her), and the fact that Adriana was close with many on the show, may reveal to further pull her storyline along. Although nothing specific is confirmed, de Matteo is contractually obligated to appear in at least 2 more episodes this season. » Soprano Cast |
