RHONJ OG Caroline Manzo has revealed to [OK! Magazine](https://okmagazine.com/p/caroline-manzo-possible-return-rhonj/) that she was asked back for season 13 but admits she ultimately declined the offer. *"It would have to be the right scenario,"* Caroline said of returning to RHONJ. *"I did get asked back this past season, but I declined. I'm at a point in my life where I do things that make me happy. If I'm not happy, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not going to put myself in that position."* However, Caroline isn't closing the door on returning to RHONJ as a full-time cast member at some point down the line. * "Never say never —, but it's not on my radar,"* she explained. While she's not on RHONJ, Caroline is happy to see her bestie Dolores Catania shine on the show. * "I wanted Dolores from Season 1,"* she confesses.* "She was offered Season 1, but she turned it down. I was a big soldier for her to try and get on [the show]."* RHONJ will return for season 13 in early 2023. ## Thoughts on Caroline Manzo and others?
