Melissa Gorga reflected on filming The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Season 15, describing the experience as both fun and stressful. In conversation with PEOPLE at the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th premiere in New York City on August 4, Gorga mentioned wrapping up the season "with a bang."

The reality star continued, "I had so much fun this season." She noted that the cast delivered plenty of entertaining moments, but admitted, "I feel like there was a lot of stress." According to Gorga, the tension helped reveal the cast's "real personalities."

Gorga's comments suggest that viewers can expect a balance of dramatic moments and lighter scenes. Filming the latest season reminded her of the early days of RHONJ, when the cast could enjoy carefree interactions. Her statements offer an insight into what's in store for fans waiting for the show's return.
