Fans of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” are eagerly seeking any valid information about the series’ return and the cast for season 15. After rumors that test scenes had been filmed with Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, and Melissa Gorga, and without Teresa Giudice being present, many assumed that it meant that the OG may not return to RHONJ.
For years, Teresa has been insistent about not reconciling with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa, but recently, that changed. There have been rumblings about her and Joe sitting down for a reunion of sorts, but according to Radar Online, it’s a storyline that Bravo’s production team has no interest in capturing.
Bravo Is No Longer Interested in the RHONJ Family Feud
GettyIn past seasons, the Giudice/Gorga feud dominated the series, but now it seems that Bravo is ready to move in a different direction. A RHONJ production insider spilled some details to Radar Online, explaining that this attempt to reconcile isn’t something that they are interested in filming.
“Producers have made it known they have no interest in capturing Teresa and Joe’s attempt to reconcile. They are not planning to film any of it. This is a storyline production has made it known they’re not interested in capturing,” explains the insider.
The authenticity of the situation is in question. Bravo producers appear to struggle with the idea that Teresa and Joe genuinely want to mend their relationship. It sounds more like a storyline gimmick that would have worked years ago.
“Melissa is going along with this because she’s also a bit worried about her spot on the show. If Joe and Teresa do end up making up and are in a good place, production could entertain having them both back on the show. Then fans would get to watch their rekindled relationship,” the source added.
Is Bravo Ready to Move Ahead Without Teresa?
EntertainmentNow/GettyReports have recently surfaced, suggesting the franchise is poised to move beyond the cutthroat family conflict that initially propelled them to the Bravo spotlight. Rather than hostility, it’s rumored that the Bravo powers-that-be are looking to make season 15 more comedic. If the focus is truly on humor, then Margaret Joseph’s quick wit may propel her into the spotlight.
An insider told OK! Magazine, “There always has to be a ‘star’ of the show. Bravo has decided to pursue building the show around Margaret as the main character for the time being. Dolores Catania and Melissa are both close with Margaret, so that part is aligned.”
“Marge isn’t scared to be dramatic, but she’s also funny. Additionally, she’s always been open with her life and doesn’t hide things. She truly embodies everything a ‘Real Housewife’ has always meant to be,” they continued.
What changes would you like to see come to RHONJ? Would you continue watching if Teresa Giudice makes her exit? Or would her leaving the show actually be the best thing for the franchise?
There is nothing remotely funny about Margaret Josephs. The only thing she ever did was try to make Teresa’s life as miserable as possible and take ozympic. RHONJ built around her is a crumbling building.
No thank you.
I agree, 1000%
In TOTAL agreement !
Please keep Teresa , Jackie and Jennifer out of the new season. I’m done with Teresa’s jealousy and hate towards Melissa and the disrespect for Joe especially by her bratty daughters. When Teresa called Melissa a whore not once but twice and didn’t care about how her brother or her only nice and nephews would feel that did it for me. She left her only niece out of her wedding. Teresa is a fake. I’ll never believe that she wants to make a mends with them. It’s always been about Teresa and her hate and anger if you didn’t side with her. I’m done with that crap. It got vengeful and at times boring.🥱 I love Marge, she’s always been my favorite. Jennifer bought nothing to the show but how much she has. Jackie has nothing to bring either. How is Delores going to get by without Teresa’s ass to kiss all the time?. I’m looking forward to seeing something fresh and fun to watch this season. Keep Joe and Melissa there fun and funny.
Cannot stand Marge. She is rude, not attractive and not funny. Will not watch if she is the star.
I’m with you, 1000%
Teresa has always been an embarrassment to all women. Her intelligence lowers the authenticity of the show and seems forced. She should not join the show but work on her own personal issues.
Agreed Teresa is a terrible uneducated woman who used sex to keep Joe around. The whole relationship with Louie is sex three times a day so she says. I would be done if tre was allowed back. She needs the money how she spends. Looks Louie is a financial loser. Sorry 😱
If Teresa comes back I’m gone. I didn’t think this was still a possibility. Just show pretty people in beautiful clothes having fun in fabulous locations! No stress just smiles and fun! The worst thing we should see is the stress they have of choosing one amazing outfit over another! Seriously!!!
If Margaret is the star I’m gone. Get her and Melissa off the show where they belong.
I love Margaret! The only one on the show with the brains and wit to have a real career. Loved it when she pushed the guy into the pool. Teresa tried to make her out to be the bad guy because she wouldn’t go along with the story Teresa was trying to spoon feed all the gals about how “wonderful Louie is”. Anyone with a brain could/can see he is nothing but a con man. He is going to put her back in prison. No sympathy here.
I cannot stand Margaret and have never found her funny. I am not sure if I would continue to watch the show without Theresa but I know I will not if it is featured around Margaret.
I think bravo should just retire the HWNJ it is played out nothing new here move along
Bravo is making a HUGE mistake bringing Theresa back to the show. Bravo you created this monster & now she’s monetarily out of control & will crawl back to pay her bills. She doesn’t care about Melissa & her brother Joe, she demonstrated that “standing by a loser of a husband Louis” & tossing her brother & his family aside. BRAVO DONT DO IT. YOULL BE SORRY!!!
