As recently as January 2023, Jersey Shore castmates were unsure if Sammi was ever planning on coming back for the spinoff series. The series began teasing her comeback a few months later.
She linked up with the cast again for the latest season, which is airing now.

Speaking with Page Six, Sammi made it clear that she and Ronnie left their drama in the past. “It’s just like a co-worker at this point,” she explained.
Sammi added that she was “personally in a great place” and had “moved on from that vibe.”
The couple dated for five years, and their drama played a key role in earlier seasons of the show. They officially broke up in 2014.
“A lot of people forget I dated him when I was in my younger 20s,” she said. “I’m 36, I dated multiple people after him, I’ve gone through life, so yeah, it’s just like a co-worker at this point.”
As to why she returned to the show, Sammi said that she felt “more mature.”
“I’m just hoping that all goes well this time around. And if it doesn’t, I’ll just leave again,” she explained.
Sammi had even more to say about her comeback in a recent interview. We’ve got the highlights here.
