By many accounts, season 15 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey could include Dolores Catania, along with a few returning ladies and some new faces. Recently, the longtime Bravo star opened up about discussions about a reunion between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga. Additionally, she’s discussing the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.
It appears that Teresa and Melissa are moving closer to resolving their issues. Teresa stated in September that she’d be willing to move forward, and Melissa and Joe Gorga have echoed similar sentiments. Joe has since confirmed that she texted him.
Dolores recently spoke to Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea and was asked if she would be willing to play mediator between the feuding sisters-in-law. She said, “I think that’s a good idea since I know them and they’re both very close to me, and I would love to be a mediator as long as they don’t kill me in the meantime.”
She continued, “But I’ve always been an advocate of the two of them being together.”
Gia Giudice was then asked about the idea of Dolores mediating. She said, “Honestly, I love Dolo, and she knows I love her so much. I think this is something that just needs to be, you know, between my mom and her brother and between the four of them, and they’ll figure it out.”
In other news, Dolores spoke to Newsweek in October 2025 and gave an update on her status with The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. The RHONJ star and podcast host said, “You’ll see some of me on it. A little cameo here and there.”
Currently, there is no announced release date for the new addition to the Housewives franchise, but filming has wrapped. It is widely assumed that the show could be announced at BravoCon. Filming is said to have concluded in September.
