Real Housewives of New Jersey news: Theresa Giudice set to return

Fans of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" can't wait until the reality show premieres its seventh season on Bravo. The show, which features a lot of drama between the Housewives, is expected to make its return in a few months, and recently, there has been some development about who will be coming back to the show when it premieres.

Last year, Hollywood Life reported that Caroline Manzo will be coming back to the series for season 7. Manzo currently stars in her own reality show titled "Manzo'd With Children," but the website reported that Bravo was able to convince her to come back to the show.

Meanwhile, many are wondering whether Teresa Giudice will be back on the show. Giudice is still serving the remainder of her prison sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut and will be released on Dec. 23 on house confinement.

Although her lawyer, James J. Leonard, previously told E! News that the 43-year old will be back on the show, a report claims that filming for season 7 will begin this fall.

"They plan to start filming in November, which means they will be putting together story lines after the summer," said a source to NY Daily News. "Not everyone is coming back, and it is still a big question mark as to what they will do with the problem known as Teresa."

Giudice is said to have already inked a deal for the upcoming season. The website reported that if she does return to the show, then she will only have missed a few weeks of filming. The source went on to add that fans should expect the return of Kathy Wakile and Jacqueline Laurita, who will be returning despite Giudice's attempts to "keep her off the show".

Fans can expect "RHONJ" to be very Teresa-centric as the show is said to be "full of people connected to Teresa" when it returns for its seventh season.

NY Daily News' source added that Giudice's relatives and Laurita will tell the story of Giudice's time behind bars and her return home.

"It will be more focused on family," the source said.

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" is slated to air its seventh season early next year.
