'RHONJ' Jacqueline Laurita Returning Despite Feud: Will Dina Manzo Change Her Mind And Return To Settle A Score?

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita has hinted she may be coming back next season, but now Bravo is going full force to bring her back full time instead of just a secondary character.

"Production has made it very clear that they want Jacqueline back," a source told Radar Online. "And they don't want her back just for cameos, either. Production is planning to offer Jacqueline as a contract for a full-time housewife."

Laurita came back only in the middle of the season with scattered appearances throughout, but viewers really connected with her storyline this year. She was seen dealing with issues surrounding her autistic son as well as trying to reach out to co-star Teresa Giudice after her prison sentence.

"It was very clear with an examination of the ratings that Jacqueline's appearance had a huge impact on the show," the source said. "Bravo is certain that with her back on the show, the ratings would continue to be strong."

The reason Laurita was demoted this past season was because her sister-in-law Dina Manzo refused to be on the show with her. The two have been feuding for years and Manzo wanted absolutely nothing to do with her. However, the network wants to use it to their advantage.

"Bravo is now interested in capitalizing on the feud between Dina and Jacqueline," according to Radar. "They would love to see them hash this out on the screen, as they are certain this would also bring the ratings and the drama."

As MStars News reported, Manzo is already on her way out after tweeting, "My soul can't be around horrible people." While Bravo wants to broadcast their feud, the housewife has no desire to share airtime with her nemesis.

Producers are scrambling to ratchet up the drama when Guidice goes away to prison in Connecticut for 15 months after pleading guilty to charges of mortgage and bankruptcy fraud.

Do you think Manzo will return to RHONJ if Laurita does?
