More than two decades later The Sopranos First debuted, Tony Soprano remains one of the most memorable characters in television history. The mob boss who suffered from panic attacks was a unique character concept and made for a more nuanced mobster than the usual cliche populated crime shows of the time. Besides his rage, greed, insecurities and commitment to his family, Tony is also a womanizer.

Tony Soprano mistreats many of his girlfriends The Sopranos. However, he ends up with some pretty amazing people. Over six seasons, Tony has seven mistresses and several casual affairs. Every Tony Soprano mistress was differentWith some looking to gain from their interactions with the Dawn and others simply out for a good time. There is no question that the many women with Tony Soprano affected his marriage to Carmela, who was fully aware of his dalliances. Regardless, every woman Tony slept with has a special role in the story of The Sopranos.

Dr. Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco)

Tony Soprano’s personal therapist

Although not technically a Tony Soprano mistress, Dr. Melfi’s complex and charged relationship with her patient deserves at least an honorable mention. The relationship between Tony and Dr. Melfi is one of the main narrative threads woven through the series. Tony fosters feelings for his therapist quite early on The SopranosAnd rather than respecting the boundaries of a patient-doctor relationship, Tony makes consistent grabs for more romantic connection.

Later, After Tony and his wife Carmela split up, he seriously tries to pursue MelfiBut (as always) she rebuffs him. At some point, Tony obsesses about this strong, intelligent woman to whom he feels attracted and connected. Interestingly, at one point, Melfi confides to someone that she is attracted to Tony’s strength and confidence.

However, Dr. Melfi is a professional who will never go out with a patient, and by the end of the series, she begins to believe that Tony is a sociopath, and therefore she avoids him. She is not one of those. Women with Tony Soprano slept, but the two shared a connection, albeit a toxic one.

Miss Reykjavik has a genuine sense of warmth and connection with Tony, Laughing playfully with him as they lie in bed together. Unfortunately, they are interrupted when Tony’s friend Artie calls, crying after just attempting suicide.

Mauro’s wife Annalisa is the acting boss – something Tony chauvinistically admits he has a hard time accepting. However, it is worth noting that he has no such hesitation fantasizing about Annalisa while on the phone with Carmella.

Despite his prejudices, Annalisa opens up to him, and for his part, Tony is smitten with her. She takes him to the ancient site of Cumae, where beautiful women, known as sibyls, once gave oracular prophecies. In the Sybils’ den, Annalisa proposes to Tony.

A receptionist at one of Tony Soprano’s businesses

Despite this, he later managed to hook up with her, as he had nothing else to do while spending time on a legitimate business.

These are far from the only romantic encounters of Tony Soprano

While Tony tended to keep only one mistress at a time, the 13 showed up The Sopranos are Far from the only women he had sex with. Excluding Carmela, Tony has romantic excursions with 17 women on The SopranosAnd many of his one-night stands are not given names in the series, while some of them are mentioned rather than shown. Many of the aforementioned affairs happened in later seasons of the show, with Tony ramping up his amorous activities in season 4 and beyond.

Two of the women Tony Soprano slept with are mentioned in The Sopranos Season 4, Episode 13, “Whitecaps.” In this episode, it is mentioned that Tony has affairs with a weightlifter and a preschool assistant. There are other issues that Tony has that are implied in The Sopranos. Season 5, episode 10, “Cold Cat,” implies that Tony slept with an employee at the dermatology office where he had his cancerous mole removed.

Additionally, it is implied that he sleeps with an unnamed woman in season 6, episode 12. Tony also receives oral sex from two unnamed Bing strippers in season 3, episode 6, and season 6, episode 11. He sleeps with a plaza escort in season 5, episode 11, and an unnamed young sex worker in season 6, Episode 15. The women Tony almost sleeps with are almost as detrimental to his psyche and marriage as his concrete affairs.

throughout The SopranosTony makes it clear how little he thinks of, which is ironic considering his blatant attraction to women who are intelligent and driven, like Dr. Melfi or Adriana. All Tony Soprano girlfriends are different, but each cast starts with the intention of stroking Tony. However, none of these issues seem to end with Tony completely unscathed The Sopranos.

Did any of the women measure up to Carmella?

Not a single one of Tony Soprano’s girls held a candle to Carmela. She was the strongest possible match for TonySomeone who would put up with his deficiencies, stand up to his bullying ways, and help keep their family together even when he does everything in his power to destroy himself. However, if there is one person who rivals Harmela when it comes to the women Tony saw on the side: Dr. Melfi.

From the beginning of the series, Dr. Melfi is one of the most important characters in Tony’s life, even more so than his mafia family. She was the person who tried to help him keep things together and be the person he needed to be. While he was a Evil man, it was that Dr. Melfi has the ability to make Tony see a better version of himself, which is something even Carmela is not able to do all the time.. Also, the only thing that helped Dr. Melfi stand above the others is that she rejected Tony in the end, proving her self-worth.

Many of his mistresses were mere comforters, who in no way measured up to Carmela or even Dr. Melfi. Women like Miss Reykjavik and Connie Desapio are mostly flings. Others were from the past and not as important. There are also the mistresses who were disposable in Tony’s eyes, such as Gloria Trillo and Julianna Skiff, along with women who were great Pairing for the mafioso but have too many danger signs. Valentina La Paz was another tough girlfriend, but with her tragic end, it wasn’t enough.

in The SopranosOnly one woman was made for Tony Soprano, and that was Carmela. Dr. Melfi was someone who could have been a big deal to anyone else, but when it came to Tony, he needed someone who was willing to accept him, no matter how bad things he did. Carmela was that woman.
