Major 'RHONJ' casting spoilers leave viewers stunned
'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' has been known for being one of the shows undergoing major casting shake-ups ahead of its new season, leaving fans chattering excitedly and even in shock by recent spoilers. Three main cast members from last season will indeed be back in the house. These cast members include three of the old timers of the RHONJ house: Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, and Dolores Catania.
It is a major casting move since other old faces such as Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga, and newcomer Danielle Cabral are off. The fans will surely have varied reactions after this news as many seem to breathe out and are more excited at this new change in the direction of the show while others are thinking about how things would go to be that way. The slimming down of the cast and focus on these three powerhouse personalities suggests that the producers are looking for a fresh start and tighter storylines, as earlier suggested by Andy Cohen.
Which new faces will join the ‘RHONJ’ reboot?
Andy Cohen, the executive producer of 'RHONJ', has confirmed that a major cast shake-up is in the works for the upcoming season. However, he has remained tight-lipped about which new faces might join the show. During his latest interviews, Andy acknowledged that the cast of the show had become too laden with "negativity" and intimated that a fresh injection of energy would be required to revitalize the franchise.
He confirmed that there are "several different ways" the show might be able to move forward; however, he refused to comment on concrete decisions regarding any new cast members. As of now, Bravo has not announced who will join the cast with the returning trio.
'RHONJ’ star Melissa Gorga says the show needs shake-up because it became ‘toxic’
Melissa Gorga of 'RHONJ' feels the show needs to blow it all up. "The environment is so toxic right now," she believes. And according to Melissa, there have been players on the show "playing dirty behind the scenes" for years. Melissa agreed with the fans and Bravo executives regarding the fact that there must be change, especially after the Season 14 reunion was canceled.
