The Real Housewives of Orange County has been captivating audiences with its fascinating portrayal of the lives of affluent housewives residing in Orange County. Now in Season 17, the latest instalment showcases a mix of familiar faces and new cast members, making for an intriguing viewing experience.

One of the prominent housewives featured in this season is Emily Simpson, who continues to fulfill her role as a cast member. Meanwhile, Shannon Storms Beador, known for her dynamic personality, is back with a bang, stirring up quite a bit of drama among the ladies after getting entangled in a feud.

Additionally, the OG of the OC Vicki Gunvalson joins the cast as guest, as well as The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills former cast member Taylor Armstrong. Another beloved cast member returning, Heather Dubrow, embraces a new business venture alongside her husband with Cut Fitness. However, as with any business endeavour, challenges arose, leading to a few broken friendships and tensions within the RHOC cast.

New episodes, of course, only mean that the housewives’ personal lives are still in the spotlight. Shannon’s relationship with her boyfriend, John Janssen, faces its fair share of ups and downs, prompting her to continuously seek reassurance and evaluate the future of their bond. Meanwhile, stay-at-home mom Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis join forces in real estate, making the former feel continually shut out. This only encourages Gina to work towards establishing her own identity outside of her family life.

Amidst the personal challenges and conflicts, the ladies of Orange County also find support and camaraderie within their circle. Shannon is constantly reassured by her former bestie, Tamra Judge, who provides her with a much-needed source of comfort during trying times. Additionally, Emily reconnects with her youngest child, Dominic, strengthening their bond and creating heartwarming moments.

Aside from Dubrow, Simpson, and Storms Beador, Season 17 of the first ever Real Housewives franchise also features new cast members Tamra Judge, and Jennifer Pedranti. Gina Kirschenheiter, who we first met in Season 13, is also back as a featured housewife.
