Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa unveiled the scene on their Talking Sopranos podcast. “It’s the first time he’s written them since 2007,” Schirripa said of Chase’s lines, “and he was nice enough to let us read that.” The scene, per Vulture, involves Sopranos characters alive and dead, including Tony Soprano, Carmela Soprano, Christopher Moltisanti, Paulie Walnuts, Meadow Soprano, Adriana La Cerva, Dr. Melfi, Phil Leotardo, Uncle Junior, Bobby Bacala, Johnny Sack, Livia Soprano and A.J. Soprano. “Things are tough right now with all the bad news and things that are going on, it’s nice to have something to laugh about,” said Imperioli. “David thought it was important to bring some levity to the world, and he wrote these lines about the Soprano characters relating to the coronavirus.”
