Edie Falco's Bond with James Gandolfini - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 05-26-2009, 12:36 AM

Edie Falco formed such a tight bond with onscreen husband James Gandolfini when they made The Sopranos - she gets jealous when she sees him with other women.

The pair played husband and wife in the award-winning show for eight years, and they grew so close, Falco still considers them a couple.

She admits she struggles to spend time with Gandolfini and his real life wife Deborah Lin, and feels uncomfortable watching him pose with other women in movies.

Falco tells New York magazine, "It will never feel normal to see him hugging and kissing and all that. And he's got a real life wife, who is a beautiful woman."

They made a great on-screen couple. It's kind of obvious that she's not married or in a relationship, so maybe she kind of misses that; even thought she and James were just acting. That's great that they had that kind of bond, though. Another TV couple that reminds me of them is Skyler and Walter White on Breaking Bad. Sometimes I even get them confused with Tony and Carmella on The Sopranos.

I've seen interviews with Linda Gray and Larry Hagman who portrayed husband and wife on Dallas for so many seasons and they say similar things. I guess it is to be expected when you play such an intense role for so many years.
