Dolores Catania is teasing new details about what to expect from Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 15. She’s also revealing where she stands with both of them today.
How to Watch
The Real Housewives of New Jersey premieres on Bravo in December. Episodes will stream next day on Peacock.
Dolores appeared on the Housewife2Housewife: Coast2Coast panel at Bravo Fan Fest 2026 on Saturday, Oct. 24, where she shared new insight into Teresa and Melissa in the upcoming season after reuniting last year. Dolores said, “They get in a little tiff here and there because that’s normal, right?”
On the same panel, Dolores also revealed that RHONJ Season 15 has a new vibe to it. “It’s different. There’s different girls, I know you’re all going to love them. And it was a fun season, but it had enough of everything,” she said. “They have their drama, too. Women have drama. They brought it.”
“It’s new girls, it’s different dynamics, and what you haven’t seen in prior seasons is Teresa and Melissa getting along,” she concluded.

Dolores continued, admitting that she is in a very good place with her friendship with both Teresa and Melissa. “It’s so good. It’s a breath of fresh air, as Teresa would say,” she said. “It is just so nice. It’s so peaceful. It’s zen. And I’ve wanted this for a long time.”
She also said during the panel that Teresa and Melissa are still the same women she has known for a lot of her life. “I know Teresa and Melissa for 20-plus-years, none of us have ever changed,” she said.

Both Dolores and Melissa also appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Sunday, Oct. 25 in an episode filmed at Bravo Fan Fest 2026, where they shared even more details about the upcoming season of RHONJ. Although viewers will have to wait until December for the Season 15 premiere, Dolores revealed that she is no longer “playing Switzerland” in the new season. “I’ll always have my own mind,” she said. “It’s not about Switzerland. I felt like I spoke up when I needed to.”
Melissa also said during the WWHL episode that she had “two words” to describe the upcoming season. “It’s very emotional, and it’s so freaking funny,” she said. “Like, these girls are funny. I think everyone’s going to love these new Jersey girls coming in.”
Melissa also noted on the Andy’s Housewives History Lesson panel on Saturday that Season 15 is a “very funny, funny season,” adding that it’s “emotional.”
