The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 may include the same full-time cast as season 18.
Following Alexis Bellino‘s announcement that she would not be returning to the new season after starring on season 18 as a “friend,” and as Tamra Judge, 57, Shannon Beador, 60, Emily Simpson, 48, and Gina Kirschenheiter, 40, reunited for Heather Dubrow‘s 56th birthday, a new report claimed everyone, aside from potentially Katie Ginella, 40, would likely be back for the new episodes.
“The OC cast will be shaken up slightly,” a source told The Sun, via The Real Housewives Zone on Instagram. “The network executives are happy overall with the drama those women brought … [But] no one is safe. Any cast member on any franchise could be on the chopping block at any point and they’re not afraid to make the cuts when they need to.”
Although the insider went on to say that contracts had already been sent out to the women, they noted that Katie may be on the chopping block. And during recent outings among the cast, she’s been noticeably absent, as was Jennifer Pedranti, 47.
“Emily, Shannon, Heather, Gina, and [Tamra] were very friendly at lunch at Restoration Hardware in Newport Beach. Looks like all is good with the ladies of RHOC,” an eyewitness revealed to Deux Moi on Instagram over the weekend after the RHOC cast members were spotted at a restaurant for Heather’s birthday.
As RHOC fans may recall, the same group stepped out at the end of last month for a holiday lunch, prompting some social media users to ask where Jennifer and Katie were.
No word yet on when filming will begin on The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19.
