During Monday's episode of the Sirius XM show Andy Cohen Live, the topic of recasting the current faces of RHONJ came up.

Andy confirmed that Bravo was looking to switch up the cast for future seasons.

A live caller agreed, saying, "I think it's time to do what happened in New York. Bring fresh faces in," referring to the recent cast shakeup on The Real Housewives of New York.

"There's all the negativity," the caller added. "Set them free. Let them move on to the new."

The caller added that RHONJ's newest cast members, Rachel Fuda and Danielle Cabral, have brought a fresh aspect to the group.

Andy responded to the fan, saying, "We're gonna figure something out. We are all on the same page about that."

Cast member Melissa Gorga agrees that a cast shakeup is needed.

"I agree with Bravo that there needs to be changes," Melissa told Entertainment Tonight during the Divorce In The Black premiere last week.

"I agree with that 100 percent. I think things have gotten really toxic."

She added she's OK with Bravo's decision to switch up the cast.

"Whatever Bravo decides to do is fine with me," she said.

"I don't make demands. I come to work.

"I have a very strong relationship with the show.

"So, I feel like whoever they decide to cast -- or not cast -- I'm fine, in my own lane with my own family and my own kids, and I'll deal with it when I have to deal with it," she concluded.

BYE BYE REUNION

While fans have always anticipated a reunion after a season ends, in June, it was revealed the Season 14 cast would not be getting one.

This bold move marks the first time a reunion has been cut from the RHONJ agenda.
