Who’s in the cast of RHOC Season 19?
Shannon Storms Beador
With her ex finally in the rear-view mirror, Shannon is bouncing back stronger than ever. Single and selectively ready to mingle, Shannon has been spotted around Orange County having fun and being dubbed the “Kissing Bandit of Corona Del Mar.” After taking one step forward with Tamra at the reunion, their rollercoaster relationship continues to take more steps backward. Shannon’s newfound friendship with Katie catches everyone by surprise until a revelation threatens the group dynamics to the point of no return.
Heather Dubrow
Heather is living her best penthouse life, but in Orange County she finds her role as peacekeeper challenging, along with her friendship with Tamra. Always striving to be the best mom to her children, she continues to provide guidance through their milestones and show support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Tamra Judge
Tamra finds herself in an emotional place as she unlocks past trauma in therapy, prepares for daughter Sophia to leave the nest, and navigates her very close friend and confidant’s cancer diagnosis. With a desire to change her explosive reactions to charged situations, Tamra navigates shifting friendships within the group but runs into the ultimate test when Gretchen Rossi returns to deal with some unfinished business.
Gina Kirschenheiter
Gina has a new perspective on life and takes a big step forward in her relationship with Travis as they move back in together. After ex-husband Matt suffers a heart attack, Gina embraces living in the moment. In the friend group, she sets her sights on exposing lies and righting wrongs.
Emily Simpson
Emily takes on one of the biggest challenges of her life when one of her sons is diagnosed with a rare medical condition. Emotionally drained, she has a hard time making the space to mend things with Katie after losing her trust last season. Emily’s loyalty is tested when her friend Gretchen enters the group and causes issues with her friendship with Tamra.
Jennifer Pedranti
With the chatter and rumors now behind them, Jennifer and fiancé Ryan start planning the bikini-clad wedding of their dreams while also preparing to send off her son to the Marines. While Jennifer has a lot to unpack with Tamra, she finds camaraderie with gal pal Gretchen and deepens her relationships with Shannon and Heather. When rumors come to light and shake the group to its core, Jennifer is torn between loyalty and truth.
Katie Ginella
After moving into a new house in Newport Beach, Katie continues her strong friendship with Jennifer and starts to form a connection with Gretchen. She quickly realizes she isn’t on solid ground as her friendships start to deteriorate and she finds herself backed into several corners. Katie’s apology tour morphs into an uphill battle when her actions and motives are questioned.
Gretchen Rossi
After a 12-year hiatus, Gretchen – who starred in RHOC Seasons 4 through 8 – makes her return to the group through new friends Jennifer and Katie, but she finds herself stuck dealing with the same old issues with Tamra. Their problems get amplified when a new story from an unlikely source causes a chain reaction — forever shifting the dynamics of the friend group.
Is there a trailer for RHOC Season 19?
In the Season 19 trailer released by Bravo, the RHOC gang let loose in New Orleans and Amsterdam. But it’s Gretchen’s dramatic return that really sets everyone off, especially Tamra, whom Slade not-so-subtly refers to as “Captain Evil.”
During one highlighted moment, Emily confronts Tamra about Gretchen’s accusation that she “had an affair.” In another tense scene, Tamra explodes at Gretchen, claiming that the ex-Housewife has “been going after [her]” for 12 years. If the jam-packed trailer is any indication, the new season is going to be juicier than ever.
