11 years after parting ways with Jersey Shore (due to her toxic relationship with former castmate Ronnie Ortiz-Magro), Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola announced that she will in fact be returning to Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

The MTV show’s Instagram account teased Saturday that original cast member Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola will appear on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation this season.
“She’s still the sweetest bitch you’ll ever meet,” the Instagram caption read, alongside a photo of Giancola, 35, sitting in front of a green screen for what appears to be a confessional interview.
The original Jersey Shore premiered in 2009 and followed the lives of housemates Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Pauly DelVecchio Angelina Pivarnick, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Giancola.
Following Pivarnick’s departure in season 2, Deena Cortese joined the cast and has been a part of the family ever since.
The show ran for six seasons before wrapping in 2012. In 2018, MTV rebooted the show with Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, which follows the original cast, minus Giancola. Ortiz-Magro had been a part of the new series until he stepped away from the show last year to seek medical treatment for his mental health.
I find it quite lovely that People want to spin Ronnie leaving the show was due to him wanting to work on his mental health, but with all the abuse allegations he was facing due to the mother of his children, and the alleged booger sugar addiction, his behavior was reflecting badly on the show.
As for Sammi, with over a decade of being away, that money and fame is definitely an aphrodisiac, and with Ronnie no longer being there, I don't see why you would continue to not be part of the one thing that brought you some notoriety.
