Speaking with PEOPLE at the premiere ofDevonon Nov. 8, Gorga admitted that she and the castmates she’s remained amicable towards each other and have discussedwhat might be next for their Bravo careers.

“Sometimes when we’re at dinner, we’ll speculate and say, what do you think? What do you think they’re going to do?” she said. “I mean, we’d be lying if we said we didn’t, but at the end of the day we know all of us have zero control over it.”

She added: “So whatever is meant to be will be and that’s how it goes.”
