Dolores Catania might be making Housewives history, and she’s not backing down from the idea.
During an appearance on Two T’s in a Pod with Tamra Judge, Catania opened up about potentially returning to The Real Housewives of Rhode Island for season 2 — even with The Real Housewives of New Jersey officially coming back.
“They wanted me a part of it,” Dolores said of RHORI. “Which I now agree with and I think next season, hopefully, if I come back it would be different.”
Tamra quickly jumped in, questioning whether that would even be possible.
“You’re not going back. You’re going to New Jersey,” she said.
But Catania shut that down just as fast.
“Well, they’re not filming at the same time.”
With RHORI season one having filmed in summer 2025 and RHONJ expected to film in summer 2026, the timing could actually make it doable, at least for now, unless Rhode Island films season 2 this summer.

Still, Tamra pointed out how unusual it would be.
“I’ve never seen a housewife be on two shows?”
Dolores didn’t seem fazed at all.
“So what’s wrong with it?”
Tamra clarified she wasn’t against it — just surprised.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. But you think you’re going to be the first one?”
Dolores leaned all the way in.
“Who cares, yeah. I think it’s a great idea.”
“Yeah, film a full season to see what it’s like,” Tamra said.
And for Dolores, the experience clearly left an impression.
“I love Rhode Island. I had a beautiful house.”
With both franchises moving forward, Dolores just might pull off something no Housewife has done before — appearing on two cities at once.
