Dolores Catania is Itching to Get Back to Work on RHONJ
After almost two years away from Bravo’s cameras, Dolores Catania is itching to get back to work on RHONJ. She shared her desire to return with Us Weekly days before news broke that the series would return.
“After a while of being off, you look around and you’re like, ‘Wow. Salt Lake City’s gained such headway, right?’ We were a number one show,” Catania began.
“We had amazing views and it was so good,” she continued. “You know, you look around and you’re like, ‘All these shows are…life’s going on without us is what I want to say.'”
“I wanna get back into the game as soon as possible,” the reality star concluded ahead of the news of RHONJ’s return.
Dolores Catania Reveals if Her Wedding Day Will Be Featured on RHONJ
After getting engaged to Paul Connell in November 2025, Dolores Catania is sharing news of their wedding plans. She revealed she’s in no rush to set a date, choosing instead to wait until her children walk down the aisle first.
Her son Frankie Catania Jr. proposed to Nicole Perricho in February 2025. Daughter Gabrielle put a ring on it with Mike Tallia in March of this year.
The RHONJ cast member revealed, “I want the kids to get married first. I can’t imagine getting married the same year my kids get married.”
“But me and Paul often talk about celebrating a New Year’s wedding. Like him and I having just one big party. That way, we’d be in nothing formal. But a big, huge party somewhere in New York where we’d invite a lot of people. We’ve made so many friends through this life and Bravo and I’d love to invite so many people.”
“It’s like Taylor Swift. She says she’s just gonna invite everybody. That’s what I’d like to do.”
Catania concluded, “My life’s an open book. I would totally bring the cameras and invite the world to be a part of my life as they always have been now.”
Dolores Catania did not reveal when she, Melissa Gorga, and Teresa Giudice would begin filming the newest episode of RHONJ. Nor did she state when the show plans to air Season 15.
