I don't think that I would be able to watch the sopranos without Drea on the show. She brings so much character to the part and I think she is gorgeous!! I can't wait till Joey comes on the air. Good luck Drea!

HBO and series creator David Chase have already reached an agreement for a sixth season, with that season's ten episodes to begin production in early 2005. from the HBO website

HBO has been advertising that this is the final season whenever they do 'scenes from the next episode' at the end of every show. Dr. Melfi is also going to be in a new show as well. I just read an article this morning but I can't remember where I read it.

"Regular class"? Is that what everybody else on the planet calls "coach"? Just because she's a high-profile actress doesn't guarantee she's a prima donna. It just strongly implies it.

Jen!! That was exactly the article I read. You rock!

I was on the red-eye back from las vegas this morning and Drea was on it...in regular class no less. She looked very similar to her tv appearance complete with black eyeliner. She looked hot but studiously avoided eye contact.

From Paper: When Drea was in second grade, they moved out of Queens and into Aretha Franklin's two-floor brownstone apartment next door to the Guggenheim. "She moved out, we moved in," Drea says. "But back then I didn't like it because it was scary and I was short and the ceilings were high and it was lonely. But it was Aretha Franklin's apartment. She had just put this crazy marble tub in there. And I used to swim laps in it."

I actually read an article where she talked about growing up on Fifth Ave. {10021 - Gold Coast: snore} and attending Spence Chapin. None of that sounds like Queens to me. Perhaps that's where she was born.

Drea was raised on Queens, not an UES princess. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005576/bio

And I'm sorry if I'm upsetting Sopranos fans, but let me just say that this news of Drea joining Joey will be on Access Hollywood and Entertainment Tonight in no time, and you would have drawn the same conclusion. Adriana getting killed off has been a such of much debate since she started informing the FBI. Who knows, with the probability of Joey not making it to 13 episodes and David Chase's long writing process, Adriana LaCerva might be alive and kicking.

CNN's report of this story mentions that the tapings for Joey wouldn't interfere with her ability to appear in all 10 episodes of the Sopranos next season. I still think she's going to get whacked, though!

No, the Sopranos will have a sixth season, which would probably start shooting in early 2005. HBO chairman-CEO Chris Albrecht said as much during the TV Critics' Tour last summer.

No, we are in the fifth season and there will be a sixth. As for who will be killed off, I keep my options open every week and believe no rumors. Now if you'll excuse me, I shall now return to my Sopranos cookbook.

This is the Sopranos the last season.

UES princess girl?!? i don't know anyone on the UES that would dress like that or talk like that. well, unless you mean the UES imports.

i thought this was sopranos last season anyway?

Leaving Sopranos?!! Uch... you have got to be kidding me!! And! I love that despite her whole look she was actually an UES princess girl to start. Dammit. I'm so bummed. And my prediction was this was Meadow's last year {she'd get more of a storyline dead than alive}. Hmm...
