Teresa Giudice's Sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, Said To Join Roster For Third Season

NJ.com:

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice will be joined next season by her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, RadarOnline.com reports. As if it isn't hard enough to keep the family relationships straight.

Here goes: Melissa is married to Teresa's brother Giuseppe (which also happens to be the name of her husband, although he generally goes by Joe), who is a developer. They also live in Montville Township, in a gorgeous mansion that one source says puts the Giudice's extravagant home to shame. Melissa is believed to be taking the place of Dina Manzo, who is the sister of Caroline Manzo, and the sister-in-law of another housewife, Jacqueline Laurita (Jacqueline is married to Caroline and Dina's brother, Chris). Dina left the show mid-season, saying she didn't want to expose herself to any longer to Danielle Staub, who is not related to any of the other housewives but who, to hear her castmates tell it, may be the unholy spawn of Joseph Goebbels and the Whore of Babylon.

It's been rumored that Danielle has either decided not to return or been fired from the show; Caroline made a point to say in her blog following the reunion show: "Those ten hours [of filming the reunion] were my last chance to say what I had to say. It was the last time we were all going to be together and there were some issues that needed to be addressed."

Where this leaves Kim Granatell, we have no idea. While Bravo has confirmed the show is returning for a third season, they haven't yet announced the cast. 

Well this would be a surprise, never heard of Melissa till now and it makes sense if Bravo is having trouble trying to entice Teresa to come back. Either way, as long as it's not Kim G, I'm good.
