Dolores Catania might be switching sides!
Rumors are swirling that the Jersey staple could be joining Bravo’s newest Housewives franchise — The Real Housewives of Rhode Island — as a “friend of.”
ICYMI: During this year’s Upfronts, Bravo announced four new series, including RHORI.
About The Real Housewives of Rhode Island:
“Set against the shores of the Ocean State, ‘The Real Housewives’ franchise expands into the world of a tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations. With aspirational lives, thriving businesses and tangled family dynamics, these decade-long friendships prove that in a state this small, there’s no escaping your past… or each other.”
Shortly after, popular gossip account Deux Moi added fuel to the fire, claiming Dolo has ties to the Ocean State and is already friendly with several rumored cast members.
However, what’s really raising eyebrows? The total lack of updates for RHONJ or RHONY during Bravo’s rollout.
If RHONJ is on pause (or headed for a cast shake-up), this potential pivot for Dolores starts to make a lot of sense.
And honestly? It’s not the worst idea. Dolores is beloved and would bring that signature blend of Italian tradition and emotional depth to a fresh city.
Bravo tends to shine when they pair familiarity with novelty. Think: The Valley, the new era of RHOA, and Summer House’s evolving cast. Adding a familiar face like Dolores gives viewers a reason to care from day one.
