The Show ‘Is Not Going Away’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dolores Catania and Margaret Josephs are expected to return for Season 15 of ‘RHONJ.’After Catania played coy about RHONJ being cast around her, the insider insisted people need to \u201cread more in between the lines\u201d since \u201cthat\u2019s not what she actually said.\u201d\u201cFirst, she played like she didn\u2019t know what being built around meant,\u201d they dished. \u201cThen, she just said she couldn\u2019t confirm anything. That\u2019s not a denial. That\u2019s just her not answering the question. There\u2019s a huge difference.\u201d\u201cIt\u2019s safe to say that no matter how the show pans out, there will be people disappointed,\u201d the source concluded. \u201cBut the good news is there is a future on the network for RHONJ and the show is not going away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
