OC: Definitely the all-star combo of Heather Dubrow and Tamra. I'm pretty sure Tamra will be back SHORTLY, and now would be the ideal time to bring back Heather alongside her. However if they don't do at now when they have the perfect opportunity I doubt we'll ever see fancy pants again
Beverley Hills: CAMILLE GRAMMAR!
New York: I'd be interested to see Jill back properly, but I think the show has moved past the need for her - and her rejoining would probably TORPEDO any goodwill the public have for THE COUNTESS I'd always be up for a Bethenny and Dorinda return too obviously.
Potomac: I wouldn't say no to a return on Katie Rost if she was mentally sound enough to do so. NO to Charisse.
Melbourne: Pettifleur! The ultimate hate watch.
Atlanta: OBVIOUSLY Phaedra and She by Sheree, preferably together, immediately, and pushed to front the show alongside Kenya.
As problematic as she is, I can't help but LOVE Kim Z as a Housewife (seasons 1-3 and that s10 reunion episode where she sits like a sack of spuds and all the women just ATTACK her non-stop ONLY )
But not sure what a return would bring. If she's not the pre-Kroy Kim there really is no point
Claudia however! Absolute waste of a potential Housewife icon thanks to Linnethia's at-time grip on production.
I think Adrienne was great value. She was a stirrer for drama, being the first one to attempt a LVP takedown, as well as the iconic "uh-oh, somebody's crying ". And then when drama was happening, she usually inserted herself right into it to play mediator - like when Taylor & Russell showed up to Kyle's white party only to be turned away, plus she was the one in the limo with Kim during the infamous "YOU STOLE MY GODDAMN HOUSE" scene.
And I always enjoyed her solo scenes, too, given how sickeningly rich her and her family are.
