Adriana La Cerva

Christopher's girlfriend runs a nightclub and dreams of a life with him that doesn't revolve around the crew, panic attacks and all. She's warm, funny, loyal, and increasingly caught between wanting out and loving a man who can't leave. Everyone around her treats her as an accessory; she keeps trying to be more.

De Matteo plays Adriana's intelligence as something the mob world simply refuses to see, which is the tragedy the show quietly builds around her. She's never a moll played for laughs — she's anxious, perceptive, and trapped by love for a man whose world will never let her be a full person.
