[Andy Cohen](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/07/11/andy-cohen-rhonj-4-diff-paths/) recently teased that Bravo is heading back to the drawing board for [season 15 of RHONJ](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/07/16/andy-cohen-rhonj-s15-rebrand/). During a recent episode of [Sirius XM’s Andy Cohen Live](https://sxm.app.link/PRlink-AndyCohenLive), the *Watch What Happens Live* host addressed the future of the RHONJ franchise. ***“We haven’t even started talking about next season.

Despite rumblings online, Andy made it known that Kathy isn't being considered for season 15 at this point. ***“The speculation online that I read this morning was that it was some sort of subliminal signal, or we were testing things to see how people responded to seeing her in the Clubhouse as a possible return to Jersey,” ***he shared. ![Kathy Wakile of RHONJ on WWHL ](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Screen-Shot-2013-07-15-at-11.34.12-AM.jpg)Kathy Wakile of the Real Housewives of New Jersey on WWHL ***“There was no intention behind her visit besides seeing an old friend, and we wanted to surprise Gary Janetti, who we know loves her and her cannolis. So we just thought it would be fun if we had a, you know, vintage housewife come through the door.”*** The Garden State Housewives franchise currently stars [Teresa Giudice](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/06/11/teresa-giudice-rhonj-s14-reunion/), [Melissa Gorga](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/melissa-gorga/), [Rachel Fuda](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/rachel-fuda/), [Dolores Catania](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/dolores-catania/), [Margaret Josephs](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/margaret-josephs/), [Jennifer Aydin](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/jennifer-aydin/), [Jackie Goldschneider](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/jackie-goldschneider/), [Danielle Cabral](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/danielle-cabral/), and [Jennifer Fessler](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/jennifer-fessler/).
