First Impressions of the New Real Housewives Franchise

We got our first look at the new franchise during Sunday’s Ask Andy, which properly introduced us to the Rhode Island wives and reintroduced Dolores Catania as a friend of the show.

Alicia Carmody
alicia is proud of her Rhode Island roots – you’ll hear her say “cracker.” She’s been engaged to Billy Kitsilis for eight years, and still isn’t ready to get married, even for their daughter, Celina. When she’s not avoiding wedding plans, Alicia helps Billy run his restaurant, Pizza Mamma, showing she can handle pressure in and out of the kitchen.

Rosie DiMare
Rosie used to be a local news anchor, but now she hosts her own lifestyle show and works as a DJ. She recently celebrated her first wedding anniversary with her husband, Rich DiMare, a singer known for his Frank Sinatra style.
