With recent reports surfacing about both Vinny Guadagnino and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino potentially leaving The Jersey Shore for good, tensions among the show’s castmates have been understandably high.

Higher than normal, that is.

According to TMZ, after a uncharacteristically volatile Vinny stormed out of the house earlier this week, Pauly D, Mike, JWoww, Snooki, Deena, Sammi and Ronnie all took the Staten Island native to a local eatery to try and smooth things over and apparently – it worked!  Vinny was seen hauling his laundry back into the cast’s Seaside Heights home earlier today.

Although initial reports claimed that the cast and production crew were all relieved that Vinny had decided to leave the house because he was being a “pain in the ass”, it appears as though all parties are happy to have him back.

Welcome home Vinny!
