In March 2023, Sammi posted a selfie on Instagram in front of a green screen in an MTV studio and in regards to a confessional on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. She captioned the photo, "Okay I can finally say… I'm backkk!" While longtime fans scrambled to figure out what her post meant and how long they had to wait to see her back on the show, her fellow Jersey Shore stars left comments on the post.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi commented with some open-eye emojis, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino wrote, "We have a situation," Deena Cortese said, "Yassssssss mama," and the official Jersey Shore Instagram commented with, "The return of an icon." And honestly? We're inclined to agree.

Sammi officially returned in the Season 6 finale. She arrived at a house full of the roommates and greeted them with, "Hey guys, sorry I'm late."

But just because she's been gone for literal years, it doesn't mean the drama is any less palpable. At one point in the finale, Sammi tells one of the other ladies, "Can you let me f-cking talk... You talk so much." So yeah, she's back.

Following the news of Sammi's return to Jersey Shore, Deena shared an Instagram Story which showed Sammi in a car with her and Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Deena, and Angelina. And someone on TikTok shared a video from a day of filming Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, which shows Sammi with the rest of her former roomies.
