Bravo Refusing To Give Dolores Catania A Label As She Is Set to Appear On RHORI

Dolores Catania Opens Up About Health Scare and Reveals the $30K Finale Party That Never Aired

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania is making waves yet again—but this time, it’s not in the Garden State. It was reported that Dolores Catania will be appearing on Bravo’s upcoming Real Housewives of Rhode Island (RHORI), and fans have been eager to understand just how involved she’ll be. As it turns out, even Bravo may not know yet.

“Dolores will make pop-ins,” an insider told OK!. “It would be weird if she didn’t show up, as she is extremely close with one of the main cast members and has had a close friendship with her for many years.”

Although early reports suggested Dolores Catania might be appearing as a “friend of” on RHORI, the network isn’t ready to commit to any official designation. “She’s more like a long-term guest,” the source clarified. “They aren’t building the show around her being a large part of it, but she’s definitely going to be involved for sure.”

In fact, Bravo is “refusing to give her a label” altogether, suggesting her role may evolve as the season progresses. According to the insider, Catania “may come on for events in the beginning and/or at the end,” keeping her involvement flexible and open-ended.

With filming slated to begin “at the end of the month,” everything remains up in the air. “No one knows what the future holds in terms of her being there,” the insider said. “She could inevitably become a full-time cast member and move to Rhode Island if she takes off on that show.”

For now, fans will have to wait and see how Catania’s cameo-style role on RHORI plays out—and whether it could lead to a full-time move to yet another Bravo franchise.

Now I'm back to believing that NJ is going to continue as we know it. At the end of the day, the show is about Teresa and her brother, and there is still a lot of unfinished business there. But above all, Bravo is well aware that there is still strong demand for the show ... it ended last August, and we, the blogs, the podcasts, and the media are still talking about it!

Seems Bravo is taking a cue from Dolores and straddling the fence on her label.
