Mrs. Maisel Perfectly Resolves Jackie's Story After Brian Tarantina's Death
Warning: SPOILERS for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 4, Episode 3 — «Everything Is Bellmore»
The tragic death of actor Brian Tarantina was perfectly handled by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4 in how Tarantina's character, Jackie, was written off the show. Season 4 picked up right after the ending of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 3 when Midge Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) and Susie Myerson (Alex Borstein) were fired by Shy Baldwin (Leroy McClain) and kicked off his tour. Miriam and Susie returned to the Gaslight to lick their wounds but Jackie, who runs the nightclub in the Village where Midge was discovered, was nowhere to be found. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4, episode 3, «Everything Is Bellmore,» touchingly addressed both Jackie's fate and the loss of Brian Tarantina.
As Jackie, Brian Tarantina was part of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's ensemble since season 1. Jacke managed the Gaslight and was Susie's boss, but he was also closer to Midge's diminutive manager than even she knew. Jackie always told it like it is and was straight with Midge if she was great or when Mrs. Maisel bombed on stage and got arrested. Later, when Midge's career started taking off and Susie went on tour with her client, Jackie moved into Susie's tiny apartment, where they were later joined by Chester (Connor Ratliff), Susie's creepy stalker. Jackie was a good friend to Susie and he sought to improve her dire living conditions while giving Myerson sage advice that she didn't always register. With all of the chaos that accompanied Midge and Susie at the start of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4, many viewers may not have noticed that they didn't see Jackie in the first two episodes.
