I agree with you Meyer that Chris had his moments. And as Tony said to Richie when he and Chris were introduced 'He's capable'.

But I don't think he was ever dependable. In that life, how can you trust someone like that? He seemed to get past his addiction and Adriana. New house, new wife, new baby, hell he's driving Johnny Sacs car around and with all of that he still can't shake the needle.

This is what Junior said to Tony about Chris to..."Heroin? You only got one option. A dog you love catches rabies you put her out of it's misery Anthony!"

Honestly would you trust someone like that or would you just maintain the status quo of 'oh when he's sober he's a good soldier'?
