It has been confirmed that Gretchen Rossi is returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County next season. For some reason, Bravo has made a habit of bringing back people that not everyone wants to see back. Fans are not thrilled with this decision especially if that means that Slade Smiley could be on their screens once again.
News Gretchen Rossi Is Coming Back
Variety was the first to share the news that Gretchen Rossi will be back, but she won’t be a full-time housewife. Instead, Gretchen is just going to be a “friend” of the cast. The entire cast is coming back, but former “friend” Alexis Bellino. Now, they are adding in Gretchen and filming has started. She has been around a couple of times since leaving the show, but now it’s time for her big return. Gretchen was actually let go after Season 8 of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Could it mean her getting an orange next season? You never know what will happen. You do know that this addition will shake things up, though. It is all about the ratings.

What Do Fans Think Of Her Return?
The fans went to Reddit to share their thoughts on Gretchen Rossi coming back again. It sounds like most of them are not happy to see her or Slade Smiley once again. Here is what they had to say about it:
- I’m having flashbacks to people being excited for Alexis’ return only to hate her for being exactly the same as her first run
- Not Slade! No. God. No. I want to be clear. Slade is the ONLY reason I ever wanted her off the show to begin with and the only reason I’ve never wanted her back.
- Yeah **ck this. She and Slade neglected his child dying of cancer what are we even doing here….
- I know I’m in the minority about this but I am BEGGING bravo to hire new people and stop bringing back old housewives. I would rather 5 people filter in and out season after season then keep revisiting people who were already on for seasons and are boring and tired (and oftentimes terrible people who are racist).
