Filming for “Real Housewives of New Jersey” is starting sooner than later just so Teresa Giudice and husband Joe’s struggles amid the latter’s deportation trial are captured for the reality show. In addition, the Bravo series wants to be the first to deliver the news should the couple formally file for divorce.

On Friday, Radar Online exclusively learned from someone with connections to the show that Teresa is heading back to work as soon as possible because producers are eager to ensure drama and ratings by filming Joe’s deportation situation.

The show insider disclosed that cameras will roll for the next season either at the end of February or in the first week of March for “maximum drama” since Joe recently appealed the ruling on his deportation and the verdict won’t come out until early next month.

Aside from the legal drama, producers are also said to be keen on filming the possible divorce between Teresa and Joe as this would be the main focus of the “Real Housewives” star’s storyline next season.

“If Joe gets kicked out, if he stays, if she files for divorce, they want to make sure they don’t miss anything so they’re not delaying production at all,” the source said, adding that the big bosses want to get all of Teresa’s emotions on cam.

Last month, Teresa made headlines for sharing on Instagram a photo showing her and New Jersey divorce attorney Loren La Forge-Kyriakoulis posing side by side. In the caption, the realty star revealed that she got “great advice” from the lawyer.

Us Weekly reported at the time that Teresa’s post could be alluding to her possibly preparing to divorce Joe while he remains in prison. Fans of the show also speculate that divorce could be on the horizon for the parents of four.

Teresa’s friend Victoria Gotti, who also appeared on “RHONJ” a few seasons ago, has expressed her thoughts on the couple’s situation. According to her, she doesn’t see the two divorcing at all because they have already gone through so many things as a couple.

“I think it would take a lot for her to walk away from Joe and her life, the girls, their father,” Gotti told Page Six. She added that the couple still has so many things ahead of them and Teresa is not someone who easily gives up, especially when it involves her husband and daughters Gia, Audriana, Milania and Gabriella.
