The new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey proves that star Dolores Catania deserves a spin-off series on Bravo. The old-school Italian has been in the tight-knit RHONJ fold since the very beginning, receiving an offer to join the original RHONJ cast in season 1. Though she turned it down for personal reasons, Dolores became a memorable presence as a «friend» of the housewives. Her fandom reached new heights when she officially joined the main cast in season 7, opening the world up to her dating life, her journey of self-discovery, and family. Audiences everywhere connected with the housewife, voting her as Miss Congeniality out of every Real Housewives franchise on Bravotv.com in 2018.
The frosting on Dolores' charming storyline is her unconventionally strong relationship with her ex-husband Frank Catania. Dolores worked hard to rebuild a bond with Frank after discovering he had been unfaithful while she was nine months pregnant with their second child Frankie. Putting her love for her two children (which also includes Dolores' eldest, daughter Gabby) over any tension with Frank, Dolores displayed that it's possible to move on from infidelity. Over the seasons, fans witnessed their enviable dynamic and rooted for them to rekindle their flame. Though they aren't getting back together, their relationship reached new heights in season 12, when it was revealed that they'd all be moving in together for the first time.
