What did you guys think of her performance in the series? I always found her line readings very stilted... I didn't necessarily buy her as an intellectual, either.
It's my understanding that she was initially asked to play Carmela? Very glad that part ultimately went to Falco.

Re-watching it last year, I certainly didn't find her as great as I did a few years ago. She still put in some very strong work though, particularly in those first 3 or so seasons, with "Employee of the Month" being a shattering tour-de-force for her.
The problem is, I feel the show didn't really know what to do with her as much as the series progressed, and by the end I didn't care as much for the character or Bracco's performance as a result. Still, I'd call her a worthy member of that outstanding cast.

I used to post on The Sopranos board on IMDB semi regularly way back when, and her performance was divisive enough there. I personally thought she was very good early on, and as she became less important as time went by, was fine in a fairly unrewarding role. She was brilliant in her final scene, and some of the stuff around Season 3 was top stuff from her.
Overall, I don't personally find her to a too great an actress in general, but she occasionally did some really great work on The Sopronos. Unfortunately, she was in a show dominated by so many more interesting characters, giving much more loud and sometimes comically cliche performances. Also, I could think of probably 5 actresses, who throughout their series long arcs on the show, did better work overall.

She's boring and her dictation is off.

In the few things I've seen her, included her 2 most acclaimed performances, I've found her unexcting and wooden, but what can you expect when you're sharing the frame with a goddess like Edie Falco.

She had her moments here and there, but definitely not good, and definitely didn't deserve all those Emmy nominations (except for Employee of the Month).

As I recall, fine. But totally overshadowed.
