Margaret Josephs\u00a0will reportedly be \u201cfront and center\u201d when\u00a0The Real Housewives of New Jersey\u00a0returns for\u00a0season 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Margaret, 58,\u00a0Melissa Gorga, 46, and\u00a0Dolores Catania, 54, were confirmed for\u00a0BravoCon, which many took as a\u00a0hint at the new season\u2019s cast, a new report claims that while Bravo still wants to\u00a0focus the show\u00a0around\u00a0Joe Gorga, 50, and his \u201clighthearted humor,\u201d Margaret and her \u201cfunny and quick-witted\u201d demeanor are more deserving of the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although Melissa and\u00a0her ongoing drama\u00a0with\u00a0Teresa Giudice, 53, who is also\u00a0confirmed to be attending\u00a0BravoCon, have served as the focal point of the series for years, Teresa\u00a0may not be returning for season 15. So, as noted by the source,\u00a0making her the \u201cmain character wouldn\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBravo has decided to pursue building the show around Margaret as the main character for the time being,\u201d the insider explained. \u201cDolores Catania and Melissa are both close with Margaret, so that part is aligned. And, Marge isn\u2019t scared to be dramatic, but she\u2019s also funny and quick-witted. Additionally, she\u2019s always been open with her life and doesn\u2019t hide things. She truly embodies everything a \u2018Real Housewife\u2019 has always meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProduction will also bring in some new blood to add both fun and drama,\u201d the source added. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely going to be a funny, fresh and entertaining season of RHONJ when the dust settles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\u00a0RHONJ\u00a0fans may have heard, another insider previously told OK! Magazine that Margaret, Melissa, and Dolores \u201chave all been filming test footage with some of the potential new women to see how their chemistry is,\u201d while adding that Teresa had \u201cnot filmed any test footage as of yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThose who were fearful RHONJ would not return can definitely rest easy, as it is absolutely coming back,\u201d the source concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Real Housewives of New Jersey has been on pause since August 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
