Why Southern Charm Needs Kathryn Dennis Back

Southern Charm fans first met the 21-year-old Kathryn Dennis during Season 1 when she first met Thomas Ravenel. Kathryn was fiery, beautiful, and a free spirit, but her flame soon faded. The two had a tumultuous relationship that included a lot of fighting and questions about how controlling the former treasurer of South Carolina was over the young redhead. But by 2015, the couple had a daughter and son. 

Throughout her time on the show, Kathryn became known as an explosive personality due to her ongoing battles with Thomas and the rest of the cast. She never balked when it came to standing up for herself, which most fans admired. Fans enjoyed following Kathryn’s story and always hoped for the best outcome for her, so when she announced her departure from the series, viewers worried the show wouldn’t be the same, and it seems that their worries may have been justified.

Kathryn Needs a Redemption Season

Without a doubt, Kathryn and her antics carried the show for multiple seasons. Recently, Kathryn found herself in the news on October 20th for an alleged hit-and-run. The news got fans thinking that Kathryn could really use a redemption season to get back on the right track.

The last Southern Charm fans really heard was that she was still fighting for visitation and custody while Thomas moved their children to Aiken, SC. It would be nice to see Kathryn winning at life instead of constantly struggling. 

It also didn’t help that Kathryn’s last season showed her being criticized for her family heritage and out-of-touch mindset. Craig Conover hinted that Kathryn actually filmed a few scenes for Season 9, which gave hope that Kathryn could come back in a full-capacity role.

While at BravoCon, the Sewing Down South owner revealed that “Shep and I actually filmed with her this year. I don’t think it was supposed to happen, but we did it, and I think they did it as a favor to us because we love her so much.” Sadly, he doesn’t think fans will see the footage. 

The Show Has Taken a Nose Dive

What made the show great was the truly bizarre ecosystem of Charleston, where having a family member who was prominent on the wrong side of the Civil War conferred higher status. Watching these Southern ladies and gentlemen who were born with silver spoons in their mouths was interesting, but now the last two seasons have been a bit boring. Some personalities like Leva Bonaparte and Venita Aspen add nothing to the series, and while they are lovely women, fans don’t want to see well-behaved people on a reality TV show. 

You can’t deny that with the exit of Cameran Eubanks, Naomi Olindo, Chelsea Meissner, and the JD scandal, the series has taken a significant hit over the last few seasons. Fans were given lines by Kathryn that were iconic, including “Stop yelling, you sound like a f*cking dolphin!” and “Good thing Thomas’ new girlfriend is a hospice nurse, that will come in handy.”

The shade from Kathryn was relentless, and the series needs it back.

During BravoCon 2023, all the Charleston men voiced the same feelings about how much they “love” the mother of two. Craig championed Kathryn, saying, “The point of me telling you that is we would love for her to come back. I think the door is always open. I know a lot of people here have recently; we’ve been in contact with her.” Austen Kroll also speaks to Kathryn often and hopes the network invites her back. 

Shep Rose also stood up for his former flame, noting, “We’ve all come a long way, and we’ve seen the bumps, the bruises, and all that stuff. And unfortunately, you know, Kathryn stumbles sometimes. We do love her ’cause there’s a person right inside her that we know is a good person.”

Kathryn is Southern Charm in every sense of the title, and the network would be foolish not to at least think of asking the star back. If anything, Kathryn’s return would give us a break from Austen’s jaunts with his friend’s exes.

Jackie Goldschneider’s Friendship With Teresa Giudice Is Shocking, Here’s Why

Jackie Goldschneider joined the Real Housewives of New Jersey in Season 9. And this newbie wasn’t afraid to confront Teresa Giudice. Usually, most new cast members try to avoid having Teresa flip a table in their direction.

Fans have heard that during RHONJ Season 14, friendships and alliances have shifted. And the most shocking news is that Teresa and Jackie have forged a friendship. I certainly didn’t have that on my Jersey bingo card.

Jackie and Teresa’s Turbulent History

From the jump, Teresa and Jackie butted heads. According to Life & Style, Teresa blamed Melissa Gorga for allowing her husband,  Joe Gorga, to become angry. Jackie sided with Melissa, stating that a woman wasn’t responsible for controlling her husband.

Jackie asked Teresa, “Do you really feel like your husband would be in jail right now if you could control what he did?” As expected, Teresa didn’t take kindly to Jackie mentioning her husband, Joe Giudice, and his situation “at camp.”

During Season 11, Teresa spread a rumor that Evan Goldschneider, Jackie’s husband, was cheating on her at the gym. Jackie confronted Teresa and used an analogy. She compared the cheating gossip to hearing that Teresa’s teenage daughter, Gia Giudice, was using drugs in the bathroom.

First off, it was a terrible analogy. And secondly, analogies are never understood on this show. It never works.

Anyway, this feud fractured their relationship. And later that season, during another squabble with Teresa, Jackie mentioned that Teresa went to jail. Which no one ever says to Teresa.

Jackie Always Supported Melissa Gorga

Teresa was always at odds with her sister-in-law, Melissa, and her brother, Joe. Margaret Josephs and Jackie always had Melissa’s back.

When Melissa and Joe decided not to attend Teresa’s royal wedding to Luis Ruelas, Jackie supported their decision. “I completely understand and support them not having attended the wedding,” Jackie told Page Six. “It was the right decision for them, for sure.”

Of course, Jackie’s friendship with and support for Melissa rubbed Teresa the wrong way.

Melissa Was Shady to Jackie

However, Melissa allegedly shaded Jackie in a video that quickly made the social media rounds. “Jackie wants to be invited to every single party,” Melissa reportedly said. Is that a crime?

Jackie responded to the video drama on Watch What Happens Live. “Well, I do want to be invited to everything. But I have yet to speak to her about it, so we’ll see how that goes,” Jackie remarked.

Talk about shifting alliances. People reported that Margaret discussed a change in her friendship with Jackie during BravoCon 2023. “She informed me that we were not as close as we used to be. I think I took offense to that and things went a little south,” Margaret stated. “She has a nice case of amnesia.”

Melissa also weighed in on Jackie’s change of heart. “It’s confusing for me,” Melissa stated. Same, Melissa. “I don’t know how authentic she’s being about her new decisions in life.”

We still don’t know exactly what caused the rift between Margaret and Jackie. Jackie said it was “very surprising” where she stands with Margaret. “Sometimes friendships … they evolve,” Jackie said. “They come to an end.” That sounds final.

Now Jackie Is Team Teresa

Jackie has moved from Margaret and Melissa and jumped over to Team Teresa. I feel like I’m writing about a Twilight Zone version of RHONJ.

But this is no fake friendship for the sake of the show. Jackie characterized her relationship with the OG as “new, growing, and mutually respectful…unexpected.” This duo certainly was unexpected.

“It was really organic,” Jackie explained. “It was like we were just talking at a party and then we were talking more, and then we started calling each other and then we hung out and started hugging. We like each other,” the writer added. “Yeah, it really grew organically.”

During Season 13 and the upcoming season, Jackie is a friend of the housewives. But, if she is buddies with Teresa, that could always change. Could a full-time spot be in Jackie’s future? After all, it is Teresa’s show.

Meanwhile, some fans were calling for Teresa’s firing. And others hoped that Melissa would be axed. Season 14 will be a transformational one for RHONJ. And Jackie and Teresa’s shocking new friendship will be a large part of that drama.
