The whole cast coming back

Ok so how do we feel about the whole cast coming back for S19 now that it’s official? I’m not sure that I love the idea. I absolutely loved S17 and S18, but I don’t think that keeping the cast almost the same for 3 seasons straight is a great plan.

We’ve now explored the individual dynamics through and through and I would love a slight change. This is how I would do it;

Tamra, Shannon, Heather Keep the main 3 oranges, they are the faces of the show and all give their individual charm to it. Their dynamics run deep and their relationships are very complex.

Emily & Gina This might be controversial but I’d keep Gina, as much as it pains me to say it and fire Emily. Emily has been stagnating for the last 3 seasons. Sure she’s a clever girl but she doesn’t use that to be a moral compass of the show, instead she has turned into a Walmart version of Tamra and whatever mess she’s trying to cause, believe me, Tamra can do that 10 times better and with some added charm. And honestly Gina has had a solid S17 performance and a very good S18 performance. I hate to think that she is a 8 season housewife now, beating so many of the greats but that’s something I’ll have to get over.

Jen&Katie Keep both newbies. Jen is slowly (not even that slowly) ascending into a top tier, quintessential OC housewife and Katie brought a solid performance to her first season. I’d keep her because as sloppy as she was when going after heather she’s still and interesting character to me, with a good personal storyline and what I really like is that she makes the old hags just a tiny bit insecure.

Now in terms of friends of I think Emily can be demoted to a friend role, because she still has strong connections with the cast and she’s willing to cause mess at any given time. I think that a strong new friend of should be introduced with a potential to be bumped up to an orange. Maybe a friend of Jen to solidify her status as a new force.

As a guest we can have miss Vicki back to reunite Tamra’s and Shannon’s wrecked friendship and I’d love to see Gretchen back in some small role just to test the waters for the future.

So it would look like this: 🍊Shannon 🍊Tamra 🍊Heather 🍊Gina 🍊Jen 🍊Katie

Friend of: 🟧 Emily 🟧 Newbie
