“I always just say that the only one [I’d like to see return] — if I had to pick somebody — would be Caroline Manzo,” she said. “I just, I really loved her and her family. I just thought they were funny and they were great and Caroline’s like a voice of reason. I always loved the Manzos.”
Gorga isn’t the only cast member to admit that they would like to see Manzo return to the Bravo hit reality series. Jackie Goldschneider and Margaret Josephs previously shared that they want Caroline back on RHONJ.
“I feel like everybody on this cast — and it’s the best cast ever — but everybody has some sort of allegiance to Teresa (Giudice). They’re either a family member or friends from childhood, so nobody goes up against her except me,” Jackie explained on the HollywoodLife Podcast back in February 2021. “I have no fear of going up against her, but I feel like the old school Jersey girls stood their ground. And Caroline, especially, I would love to have her back. I’ve never met her. I’ve never even spoken to her. But, I’ve been a fan since day one. So I like Caroline, I wouldn’t mind that at all.”
“I’d get a big kick out of [Manzo returning]. I think it’d be great,” Margaret said on the “#NoFilter with Zack Peter” podcast via Page Six back in December 2020. “Personally, I think after COVID-19, I don’t know if her and Teresa could ever heal — that would be amazing. And then I wouldn’t be the oldest on the show!”
In 2019, Manzo said she considered returning to “RHONJ” for Season 10 but didn’t because Bravo made her a “very insulting” offer. Andy Cohen has said that Caroline was one of the women he missed the most in the franchise.
