Dolores Catania Says She Hasn't Heard ‘One Word’ About Who Will Return to 'RHONJ'

The fate of The Real Housewives of New Jersey' s season 15 is uncertain, star Dolores Catania said.

The RHONJ cast member, 53, participated in a live taping of Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge 's Two Ts in a Pod podcast at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank, Calif. on Friday, Nov. 1.

The trio chatted about the RHONJ cast's growing friction and the division between costars Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga . As a result of the cast's ever-changing dynamics, it has been speculated that there could be a cast shakeup or a reboot .

During their conversation, Judge, 57, asked if Catania has heard anything about season 15 casting decisions, and the RHONJ star admitted she's heard "not one word."

"I would like to see everybody come back," Catania said of her castmates, Giudice, 52, Gorga, 45, Jennifer Aydin , Margaret Josephs , Danielle Cabral , Rachel Fuda , Jenn Fessler and friend Jackie Goldschneider . "I don't like change."

Despite her hopes, she doesn't expect the whole cast will come back together.

This confession follows the recent season 14 reunion, which deviated from the traditional reunion . The network split the cast into two rooms to watch the finale . Giudice, Catania, Aydin, 47, and Goldschneider, 48, were in one room, while Gorga, Josephs, 57, Cabral, 39, Fuda, 33, and Fessler, 54, were in another.

"It's an ensemble cast. When we're good, we're really good, so it's a shame that it's come to this," Catania remarked, adding that it's "bulls-t" that cast members won't film together. In the latest season, sisters-in-law Giudice and Gorga did not film any scenes together .

"You don't tell your boss who you're gonna work with...listen you know what you signed up for," Catania said.

"Here's the thing, if you don't want to work with someone that's there, then don't go. You have the choice not to be there. You don't tell NBC, Bravo who you want on the show and who you don't — you don't do that."

Catania also acknowledged that "it's like a war" between Giudice, her brother, Joe Gorga and her sister-in-law Melissa. The tumult has "gone on forever and you forget why it started," she said, adding that she doesn't "know how things got to where they are and why they did" with the siblings.

"I knew them when they were so close. She was crazy for her brother growing up. She used to fight with her husband [ Joe Giudice ] over how close she was with her brother," she told Judge and Mellencamp, 43. "I would love for everybody to come back together."

All 14 seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are available to stream on Peacock.
