The Real Housewives Of Orange County season 18: What to expect, and more
Season 18 cast members include Shannon Storms Beador, Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, and Jennifer Pedranti.
Katie Ginella, a Gina friend and former golf reporter, is new to the latest installment of The Real Housewives of Orange County and quickly integrates herself into the group by bringing her own thoughts with her. Ginella was born in South Korea and adopted into a Catholic family in Georgia. She is a busy mother of four children, ranging in age from six to nineteen.
RHOC will also have guest appearances from Vicki Gunvalson, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave and Sutton Stracke. While Vicki is a RHOC alum who has been part of 15 out of 17 previous seasons, Teddi and Sutton are popular faces from the original Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
According to additional details, the new season of RHOC will feature Emily who has adopted a healthier lifestyle, prompting her to question the behaviors and decisions of the other women in the group. Jennifer is getting a fresh start within the social circle as she is still ironing out her personal relationship with her fiancé, Ryan Boyajian.
As seen in the trailer, Katie blends into the social dynamics of the group way too smoothly, which gets her caught up in some interpersonal problems. Alexis makes quite an entrance while also explaining her new relationship with Beador's ex-boyfriend, John Janssen, whom she affectionately refers to as Johnny J.
From these storylines, it can be counted that this season will become more about cast members' personal antics and group dynamics. Bravo further states:
"The tension in Orange County is at an all-time high as the wives tackle lies, betrayal, and blackmail within their inner circle. This season friendships are strained like never before, particularly between Shannon and Tamra, as well as Gina and Heather."
