The answer is simple: Catania will appear at least once on the show, thanks to her ties with some of the new cast members. Reflecting on her role, she said, *“Well, I’m not gonna be a star, and I will visit maybe.”* Fans soon confirmed sightings of Dolores filming in Rhode Island, eager to catch a glimpse of the New Jersey mom in action. ![Dolores Catania confronts Melissa Gorga at RHONJ reunion](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/8f75db54d7c0a771829325e9d60c3455.jpeg) When asked what viewers can expect, Catania teased that the cast is still discovering the impact of online reactions. *“A lot of [their showings are] unfiltered,”* she explained. Comparing Rhode Island to her own home turf, she joked, *“So, Rhode Island is like Jersey ten years ago,”* which drew audible gasps from the audience.
