In one of the most divisise series finales in television history, Soprano is dining with his family, when an unkown character barges into the diner they are in. A bell on the door rings, Tony looks up, and the scene immediately cuts to black. For 13 years fans have been wondering, does that mean Tony died?
For over a decade now, the show's creators have been tight-lipped on the character's fate....until now.
Co-author of the book Alan Sepinwall asked Chase, "When you said there was an end point, you don’t mean Tony at Holsten’s [the diner], you just meant, ‘I think I have two more years’ worth of stories left in me." Chase answered, "Yes, I think I had that death scene around two years before the end … But we didn’t do that."
Another co-author Matt Zoller Seitz acknowledged the slip up to Chase saying, "You realize, of course, that you just referred to that as a death scene."
Chase responded to boith of them, "F--- you, guys."
