But he was never so prominent that the series could do major story arcs centered on him or anything like that. He was that weird thing that serialized dramas accumulate if they run long enough: a character too important to the proceedings to be merely written out but also one who probably would be if the writers could figure out a way to do so. That world, by necessity, has to contain remnants of versions of the show that were and had been, versions of the show that it was actively evolving away from as early as the first season. Arguably, Melfi herself is a vestigial organ of an earlier version of the show.

Artie Bucco has always played the straight man on The Sopranos— he is one of the few recurring characters that is not a criminal. But being good all the time can be a drag. He jealously watches as married man Benny Fazio flirts with the beautiful hostess. Tony points out that if Artie is interested in banging one of the strippers, it can surely be arranged. But Artie—unlike Tony—is governed by a code of conduct that forecloses any such possibility.
