The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 may look fairly much like season 17.
Although there have been contradictory experiences as of late, with some claiming producers are in search of new forged members, and one other suggesting the season 17 group, which consisted of Tamra Judge, 56, Shannon Beador, 59, Heather Dubrow, 54, Gina Kirschenheiter, 39, Emily Simpson, 47, Jennifer Pedranti, 46, and “friend” Taylor Armstrong, 52, could possibly be joined by Alexis Bellino, 46, and Gretchen Rossi, 44.
According to a latest report, all the RHOC forged is “most likely” returning for season 18.
“Everyone is going to be invited back for Season 18,” host Brett Staffen mentioned on the October 13 episode of the TV Deets Podcast, by way of TV Deets.
According to sources, “Producers and the network were really happy with the fan engagement this year and all of the ladies stepped up to the plate to deliver.”
Brett went on to say that producers of the sequence are planning to observe the fallout of Shannon’s DUI and hit-and-run arrest when filming resumes.
“I’m told that with Shannon Beador’s DUI arrest, producers want to follow the aftermath of that and how that has impacted the group,” Brett famous. “I’m also told that Jennifer [Pedranti] is expected to return and Taylor [Armstrong] will be back as well, and I’m hearing that it is ‘most likely’ she will keep her friend of the housewives role.”
Brett additionally said that Vicki is anticipated to be featured within the new season in some capability. But as RHOC followers could have not too long ago heard, Vicki has made it clear that she just isn’t open to being a buddy. In truth, simply days in the past, she mentioned on Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap that if Bravo needs her again, they’ll should not solely enable her to reclaim her full-time position but in addition her full-time wage.
“I won’t be a toe-in. It’s all in or nothing … [And] it would have to be on my terms and that means financially, too. I’m not gonna go back down. I left at a certain number. Either you bring that number back or what’s the point?” Vicki puzzled. “I don’t need them as much as they need me. There has to be a voice of reason and a strong, successful businesswoman that can still have fun.”
As for the remainder of the forged, the TV Deets report said that whereas Bravo is at all times looking out for brand new ladies to hitch the present, no newbies have been chosen at this level. And in the case of Alexis and Gretchen, they’ve solely been talked about as concepts.
Meanwhile, Radar Online is reporting that it’s “way too early” for a season 18 lineup to be thought of. After all, the two-part reunion simply concluded final week.
“I don’t believe these conversations have happened yet,” an insider shared.
But that mentioned, the outlet went on to notice that Shannon, who was arrested for a DUI and hit and run final month, and Vicki Gunvalson, 61, who returned for a cameo position amid season 17, are no-brainers.
No phrase on when filming will start.
