Sammi Sweetheart, Ronnie returning to 'Jersey Shore Family Vacation' next season

Sammi — and Ronnie — are coming back.

A next-season teaser at the end of the Thursday, May 4, Season 6 finale of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” touted the return of former cast members Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, a native of Hazlet, and her ex-beau, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.

“Hey guys, sorry I'm late!” said Sammi, entering the home of a cast member with Angelina Pivarnick.

“What the (blank!),” exclaimed Pauly DelVecchio. “Is this real? Are you a hologram? Is this AI?”

Sammi, 36, opted out of the “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” reboot in 2018. Seven seasons later she's in, and apparently ready to start mixing it up with the roomies.

“Why are you being messy coming for me now?” Sammi said. “No, you talk so much — shut up!”

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Deena Cortes are in tears.

“Please let me go home!” pleads Deena on the phone.

Sammi has stayed away from reality TV, opting instead to open the Sweetheart Coast boutique clothing shop on the Ocean City boardwalk. Her return to the show was announced on March 11 by MTV.

The return of Ronnie was also teased on Thursday, although Ronnie and Sammi were not shown together. The two had an on-again, off-again tumultuous relationship on the original run of “Jersey Shore” from 2009 to 2012. Sammi declined to join in on the reboot due to her desire to “avoid potentially toxic situations,” she said.

Ronnie was shown entering Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino's home in Holmdel.

“You're ready to come back?” Mike asked.

"I'm ready to come back," Ronnie said. “I feel good, bro.”

“How about the squad? It's not easy for me to keep a secret,” Mike said. “It's not my job to tell your story.”

Ronnie pled no contest to one count of domestic battery and one count of resisting arrest from an October 2019 incident in the Hollywood Hills section of Los Angeles. Police were called to a home where he, ex-girlfriend Jen Harley, and their then-20-month old daughter Ariana were staying.

He also was arrested on suspicion of intimate partner violence in April 2021 in Los Angeles, but avoided jail when a judge in September determined that the time he spent in treatment was significant enough to forgo a sentence behind bars.

MTV stated that Ronnie was stepping away from the show after the April 2021 arrest to address his mental health issues. He's made two appearances since then, including on the March 23 episode, when he said he was moving from Los Angeles to Miami with daughter Ariana to open a sneaker store.

As for Thursday's episode, Angelina was still upset over the shade Jenni “JWoww” Farley and boyfriend Zack Clayton threw her and fiance Vinny 2.0 after he proposed to her at a birthday party for the Original Vinny in a New Orleans restaurant.

“It's like she settled beef with Mike and then played ping pong in her head to find someone else to have a problem with, like she can't be happy,” Jenni said. “I think I'm going to take my mic off and get my kids and leave. I'm not doing this.”

A sit down at the hotel didn't help.

“We're trying to get to know someone who inserted himself into this family,” said Jenni of Vinny 2.0. “I have all my old feelings. My old walls are up. I want to scream and run down the hallway and get away.”

A debut date for Season 7 has not been announced.
