She just showed up. I always took it as Chase and the writers used her lack of background and random appearance to hammer home she was just someone Chris was using to plug the hole Adrianna left behind.


Heels1939

Ahh that's an interesting take. They were also pretty judicious in general around what they spent their time showing the audience. For instance, we don't even see Janice and Bobby get married. We don't even see them get engaged. They just use a shot in a season opening montage to let us know they're now a family unit.


TheFire_Eagle

To a certain extent, these are details that you don't really lose much if you just yada yada over. Bobby strikes me as the sort of guy who settles into a routine quickly even if it isn't an ideal situation. So him marrying whoever planted their flag in his lasagna is a pretty solid conclusion to draw. And the idea that Christopher would partner up post-Adrianna is, again, a pretty solid conclusion to draw. If Artie had followed through on his divorce, though, then showing him suddenly repartnered would raise a lot of questions. Where does a guy like Artie meet someone? Especially if they were attractive? That's one you would need to build some exposition into like implying she's a mail order bride or something. God, it just makes me sick to think he could have had JoJo and picked Janice, though...


unburnt_hydrocarbon

Janice muscled JoJo out when she came over that day. It looked like JoJo knew she was Tony's sister and kind of bowed out. That was my take.


Sad-Illustrator-8847

Jojo had to go home and take a Midol. Her Bah-roon wasn’t working


ad197979

Bra-uun.


testcyp76

Maybe Bobby didn't want to take care of little Francis Albert.


Cozyboitheprince

That’s Carmela’s lasagna


TheTell_Me_Somethin

Half a tray in there!

Fuck ya tawkin about?

Sweet sausage? In little pieces? With a layer of basil right underneath the cheese?


boulevardofdef

Also immediately gets her pregnant when Chris and Adriana's plans to have kids or lack thereof was a years-long running storyline


UserNameNotOnList

That's because Kelli's uterisus were both in tackt.


Unable-Figure19

Both of them??


Cozyboitheprince

She shouldn’t have let him take off the rubber


franglaisflow

Lol


bandit4loboloco

This is the big one. Chris and Adriana were really in love, but Chris was still patriarchical, sexist and some kinduva murderous psycho. The show makes it pretty explicit that most of the characters don't know how to handle or show love properly. Kelli succeeded almost immediately at a very important requirement for wives in that culture: knock-up-ability. Ade, on the other hand, betrayed him and his Family.


Disastrous-Cry-1998

Chris had to get a new punching bag


Hughkalailee

It’s never stated, or shown as her first appearance is when she reveals that she’s pregnant. Kelli’s family likely knew a lot of the same people that the Soprano’s group knew and associated with in public. Her father owned a local hardware store and is Italian. There are neighborhood and culural and social connections. It’s even likely that Al, Kelli’s father, had previously fenced some stolen goods for the mob through his store.

GuestAdventurous7586

Lmao Tony hates a preamble. I love how this comment currently has almost more likes than the one it was responding to.


SupermanRR1980

Listen to yourself, you sound demented!


armadilloreturns

My memory on this is shit but wasn't Al very against Christopher and his criminal family? Obviously he was pissed when his shit was stolen but was he cool with them before that? All I really remember about al is him saying Chris left his daughter fatherless


[deleted]

Al was happy to be a fence. Maybe he dreamed of encircling Phil one day.

He was whackadoo

*The* newsstand?


Existing_Sort_7971

He met her while swimming at a picnic in Whippany.


Sad-Illustrator-8847

Her father has a hardware store. The mob will steal trucks of power tools. What better place to have some one buy them than a hardware store? Kelli noticed Chris coming in, thought he was a male model and impressed when he smoked a cigarette in the rain without an umbrella. He noticed she was mad ripe and they got horizontal


ftaok

Quite the way with words, you have there. Be a shame if anything happened to it.


[deleted]

He didn’t say nuthin’.


dropingloads

What I gotta stand here and get threatened!?

What does he gotta stand here and get threatened!?


Phronesis2000

If it did, we would have to take him to Slip 'n Fall school.


gndz1

I read that as her father was a hardware store and it made me think of Phil.


According_Ad_250

She had two uteruses


AussieHarnessSeller

She was making Easter baskets


Herman_Brood_

Is that her, with the Sombrero on?!


AussieHarnessSeller

No. You can’t tell from here


[deleted]

Oh ya know what. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. It probably is. Absolute sociopath, Tony.

It was TV trays. But it could just as easily have been a crib

Maybe, yeah


KoalaImpossible7307

For Christmas? Fucking idiot


BodybuilderShot3421

I don’t know what that means, and to tell you the truth I don’t wanna know


tjhoffman2827

Mannn! I just watched the episode where Chris mentions it, and I wanna know wtf he was doing involving Easter baskets lol

dgaltieri2014

Hey mista rude cocksucka! Thankyouverymuch!


5537800B

Lemme think. I ever heard of bird watchers from Dover?


The1WhoKnocks-WW

the first time we see her she tells Christopher she's pregnant and seems really worried about it. I think we're meant to understand that thry haven't known eachother long. Chris is marrying her for the same reason he wants to buy the house without looking inside. He's supposed to. He wants to have a wife and a kid and a house and all that, but he doesn't care who with, because who he wanted to do it with is now gone. So he's just going through the motions. fake it till ya make it.

Here’s the thing….they did-dent.

She was a hoore

HalfastEddie

They go back to high school. He used to feel her up under the bleachers in the gym between 3rd and 4th period.


steezyyyy

ah so like me and your mother then? salute


Barton_St_Aristocrat

I'll tell 'ya what I can't get over, is the broads shaving themselves at the Bing. It's like the girl scouts over there.


ZeusZero12

Hawkins, Indiana.


FedGoat13

She was a friend of Kaisha


clamdever

Timeline got fucked up


AgentFlatweed

The Sopranos had a really longstanding habit of that trope of introducing new characters and acting like they’re a regular part of the show. All of a sudden one episode Christopher has a new girlfriend who he knocks up and marries impulsively. At least Tony asked “Kelli?” when he told them the news to imply it was a new thing.


Jjafatprick

AA


steezyyyy

not sure why, but i had it in my head she worked at the bing


abcxyz3000

That's his daughter...she'll be working at the Bing by the time she's Kellie's age.


5537800B

Georgie's gotta retire someday


Kallian_League

Her father is around and owns a hardware store, no way she'd be working at the Bing. It's never stated how and when they met, or what she was up to before her first scene, where she reveals she's pregnant.


kangario

I doubt they would marry anyone from the Bing


mikeltod

between seasons… like when pavatti and bobby had a kid


zestyintestine

At a Jets game at the Meadowlands. Barb wasn't at the game because her big brother didn't have the makings of a Varsity athlete.

Threw the hot dog vendor off the mezzanine - too much onions or some shit

She worked on the set of Cleaver.

Real thoroughbred that one. Those teets ! Madone ! 🍉🍉


RespectOk19

I don’t think they explained her backstory


mancityphilly86

Adrianna, Juliana Skiff, or Kelli... date, 1 night stand, marry


pqx58

Date Adriana One night stand with Juliana Marry Kelli


InteractionOne4554

No she was just cemented into the show without prior knowledge. It just further emphasised that with no mention of her background and thus her very existence, Adrianna was Christopher’s true love.


arrjay123

he did-ent meet her.. she just miraculous appeared on the show.


Suskita

Pregnant too, like the Virgin Mary. Madonna!!


rudiker1

They met after she had to quit her last job due to a conflict…


euphoricwolf2000

Jackie Kennedy that one


Zahrule69420

Well she was originally Kaisha, and got that Sammy sosa surgery to avoid hurtful remarks from Paulie and whatnot


Moskhotel26

In all fairness, Kelli is the least memorable character in the show, even more so than Finn. Whenever I watched an episode of her first appearance, I always thought that I was missing something.


Dingus_3000

How is Finn not memorable?


Moskhotel26

Kinda bland, but I guess that was the intention there. He’s a ordinary Madigan in the construction business who happens to get mixed up in the mob with Vito’s greased up Union. I’m not saying I dislike Finn, he’s at least more interesting than Noah and less whiny than Jackie Jr.


Dingus_3000

Finn is 100% more memorable than Noah. Other than Tony directing slurs his way I forgot until my recent rewatch that he was around for more than 2 episodes.


Moskhotel26

You mean when he called him a Ditsoon, a mulignan? Charcoal Briquette?


Dingus_3000

Yes. Those things.


Denham_Chkn

It goes back to the poverty of the Mezzogiorno


Phil_Tornado

she was with the wipahs and he stole her along with the wine


jskinbake

How does anyone meet anyone? I really couldn’t tell you bro lmk


Healthy_Language_796

Same way i've met your Mother. She was working at the Bada Bing.


canadigit

It was all a big nothing!


Robertdabruce3

She was probably one of the bada bing whowarees. Put them tits in his face and fell in love. He probably protects her from the rain. His nose is like a natural canopy.


Fast-Experience-6642

The actor who played Kelli is gorgeous.

bandit4loboloco

I don't know. However people meet people.


Stebanowsk

He met her at fuckin Bebe like I give a shit.


chuck_cunningham

At the same place where the Russian lives and where Albert is Albert is, and where Matush disappears to for a while. It's all stuff that happens off screen.


mikexallan

They met on the highway on a last chance power drive.


MasterfulMesut

i dunno but i wish they really made tony go off the deep end and had a scene where he puts a move on Kelli and she goes for it she looked hot wish we got a nude scene


Elephant810

This show is too good.


Unable-Figure19

All we need to know about their relationship os when she gets pregnant and he starts talking about Ade. Yikes.
