<p id=”par-2_44″>Teresa Giudice, the longest-running <em>RHONJ</em> cast member, has never been one to hold her tongue regarding her feelings about the series. In a recent interview, she shared her thoughts on the current state of the franchise, rumored cast shakeups, and whether she will return.</p>
<p id=”par-3_41″>“Of course, I’m going to go back,” she said on the <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXXSWRvVvkM” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><em>Bonded by Bravo</em></a> podcast. “Oh my gosh I started it, so I feel like like, you know, there’s still a lot in me. So yeah, definitely I would go back.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_45″>Giudice also told the <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO_6P2acsnw” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><em>AllAboutTRH</em> </a>podcast she is confident of a return to the fractured reality series. “Listen, they have to have the OG back, they have to, you know. They can’t just let it end that way, so they have to. I mean, it’s inevitable.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_46″>While Guidice didn’t confirm which cast members would be staying or leaving, rumors suggest that major shifts are underway. Fans have speculated that the tension between Giudice and Gorga played a role in Bravo’s decision to restructure the series, but Giudice remained tight-lipped on that subject.</p>
<p id=”par-6_39″>Series creator Andy Cohen addressed a caller who asked for relief from the OG cast’s drama during his SiriusXM show <em>Andy Cohen Live</em>. “We’re gonna figure something out,” Cohen admitted. “We are all on the same page about that.” </p>

<p id=”par-7_39″>Melissa Gorga, who joined <em>RHONJ</em> in season 3, has also spoken out about the lingering behind-the-scenes drama. In a separate interview, she acknowledged that family tension between her and Giudice remains unresolved but hinted at an emotional season ahead.</p>
<p id=”par-8_49″>“We’ll see. I’m hoping that we’ll get some news about <em>The Real Housewives of New Jersey</em> sooner than later. We were told we would get news after the new year, so I do think that they are working on it right now,” Gorga said during an appearance on the <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jKLAyG6EJo” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><em>Sherri</em> Show</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-9_24″>“I know they’re definitely going to bring in some new girls. I’m assuming they’re going to keep some familiar faces as well,” she added.</p>
<p id=”par-10_43″>Fans have witnessed years of feuding between the sisters-in-law, but some had hoped for a reconciliation. However, sources close to production claim that their relationship is more fractured than ever, and if both women return to the series, they will remain at odds.</p>

‘RHONJ’: Without Polarizing Teresa Giudice, Could the Bravo Show Survive? </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-11_39″>With season 15 already generating buzz, viewers are eager to see how the drama unfolds on the newest installment of <em>RHONJ</em>. In addition to the ongoing feud, the new season is expected to introduce fresh faces and unexpected alliances.</p>
<p id=”par-12_56″>Bravo has yet to officially confirm cast changes for the new season, but speculation continues to swirl. Some fans believe that longtime housewives may be stepping back, making room for new personalities to shake up the dynamic. Others are hoping for the return of past cast members who could bring even more chaos to the mix.</p>
<p id=”par-13_45″>The divide within the <em>RHONJ</em> cast occurred after Teresa Giudice had a fallout with her brother, Joe Gorga, and sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga. The feud between Giudice and the Gorgas created <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-cast-split-two-rooms-upcoming-special.html/?swcfpc=1″>two distinct groups</a> within the cast, thus making it complicated for production to film the ensemble show.</p>
<p id=”par-14_40″>Regardless of what happens, one thing is certain—<em>The Real Housewives of New Jersey</em> is bringing the drama like never before. Season 15 is set to premiere later this year, and fans won’t want to miss a second of the action.</p>
