Gretchen Rossi Returns to 'The Real Housewives of Orange County' as 'Friend' in Season 19
Following a successful 18th season on Bravo, "The Real Housewives of Orange County" will welcome back Gretchen Rossi in a guest capacity for Season 19.
Rossi initially joined the show in Season 4 and remained a regular cast member until Season 8. She was then featured as a guest in Season 12 and recently appeared in the unreleased "Morocco" season of "Ultimate Girls Trip."
Rossi's return comes alongside the entire Season 18 cast, excluding Alexis Bellino. The revamped group will include Tamra Judge, Shannon Storms Beador, Heather Dubrow, Jennifer Pedranti, Katie Ginella, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Emily Simpson.
Rossi's presence on the show is anticipated to create friction, particularly with Tamra Judge, with whom she had frequent clashes during their previous stints together.
Production for Season 19 of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" commenced this week, with a release date yet to be announced.
