‘RHOC’ Star Shannon Beador Mourns Death of Dog Archie After Brain Cancer
Grab your sky tops because RHOC is returning to its roots.
The Real Housewives of Orange County is bringing back some iconic series alums in honor of the Bravo series' milestone 20th season, proving you're never too old to whoop it up in the SoCal sun.
"Twenty years of Housewives, baby!" Tamra Judge announces in the June 11 trailer as the current cast is joined by season one stars Jeana Keough, Jo de la Rosa and, of course, Vicki Gunvalson, who reclaimed her orange for the latest season. "And trust me, we're not done."
The blasts from the past continue as Tammy Knickerbocker, Lynne Curtin, Peggy Tanous and Lizzie Rovsek—decked out in the infamous bedazzled halter tops from the show's early days—also make appearances in the first look.
But no one is happier about the nostalgic reunion than the queen of Coto De Caza herself, with Vicki—who has made multiple departures and returns over the years—declaring, "It feels so good to be back with my orange."
While costar Gina Kirschenheiter boasts, "We're still doing our thing after 20 years," Shannon Beador notes, "I'm a completely different person than when I started" season nine.
Of course, the preview teases plenty of drama with Vicki quickly butting heads with newbie Carmella Garcia, a former Playboy Playmate of the Year and WWE wrestler.
As Vicki announces as tensions escalate, "I don't like new girls."
And when Vicki reminds her, "I started the franchise," Carmella fires back with, "Everything has an expiration."
Meanwhile, Emily Simpson finds herself grappling with trouble in her marriage to Shane Simpson as Jennifer Pedranti asks, "Are you and Shane okay? You seem like you're at your end."
Emily simply replies, "I don't know, maybe."
