‘RHORI’ fans can attend an exciting meet-and-greet this weekend but not all the housewives will be there
‘Real Housewives of Rhode Island’ fans will soon have the opportunity to meet their favorite ‘RHORI’ cast members during an upcoming meet-and-greet. The debut season of the Bravo show released its first episode on April 2, 2026 and captivated fans with its interesting arcs and drama. It features cast members, including Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Ashley Iaconetti, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Liz McGraw, Kelsey Swanson, and Jo-Ellen Tiberi. However, not all of them will be able to attend the event.
The fan meet will be hosted alongside the retail launch of Sugar Factory’s Rainbow Sliders at Sugar Factory Foxwoods on Saturday. ‘RHORI’ cast members, including Jo-Ellen Tiberi, Liz McGraw, and Kelsey Swanson will attend the event and interact with fans, as per CT Insider. They will be seen walking the red carpet before hosting the event on April 25. The meet-and-greet will be a 45-minute event, with the red carpet scheduled for 7 p.m. followed by the meet-and-greet with fans from 7:10 p.m. to 7:55 p.m.
Bravo mentions that its newest spinoff ‘RHORI’ is set in the “world of a tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations.” Further, the show’s official description reads, “With aspirational lives, thriving businesses and tangled family dynamics, these decades-long friendships prove that in a state this small, there’s no escaping your past…or each other.” After 10 of Bravo’s hit Housewives shows, ‘RHORI’ is the eleventh and newest addition to the franchise.
When Andy Cohen was asked how the makers decided to film in Rhode Island, he responded, “It is the perfect…it is a teeny little state where everyone seems to know each other. The drama overlaps. It is the ocean state. It’s beautiful to look at. The women are kind of unbothered by the life around them. They are absolutely themselves. It’s not like they’ve…they’re very unique and it’s a wonderful group. I’m excited.” He added that he was looking forward to sharing the newest addition with fans. ‘RHORI’ Season 1 is now set to air Episode 5 on April 26, 2026. The upcoming episode will see Jo-Ellen and Liz McGraw enjoy themselves at Alicia Carmody’s pool party. They catch up on each other's lives and also speak about previous meetings with fellow cast members. The sneak peek also sees Jo-Ellen get emotional as she reminisces about her relationship with her late father and grandfather.
