Is he dead?! Is the cable out?! Fans of the Soprano’s were screaming at the TV in 2007 wondering what in the heck just happened. Creator David Chase has confirmed that Tony Soprano, did indeed die at the end of the series. Chase originally wanted to have him murdered in New York because the show began with him driving from New York home to New Jersey at the beginning of every episode. His thought was to have it reversed, then he dies. Then he had an idea to just have Tony meet his fate in a small diner. The infamous scene sounds simple, but the suspense of everything that was going on, drove people watching to the edge of their seat. Suddenly, everyone that you never saw die in the series went flying through your brain. Who is coming for Tony now? We never know what exactly happens, but an unknown man walks in, and sits at the counter, Meadow enters, then it goes black. But now we can be sure that he is dead. Pour one out for Tony.
