Gandolfini Throws Tantrum Over "Frisky" Scene
It's all spelled out here: https://nypost.com/2021/10/20/james-gandolfini-objected-to-sopranos-masturbation-scene/
Now, since this was a deleted scene for a 6th season episode, I predict that the scene was cut from "Johnny Cakes". After stopping himself from going too far with Julianna Skiff (out of respect for how Carmela nursed him back to health after his shooting injury), he stops at a gas station, releases some tension, and goes home angry and hungry for smoked turkey.
Any other theories out there???????
