Gretchen Rossi is returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County. We break down whether Gretchen returning is a good thing for her, whether Producers plan to do her dirty like they did Alexis, the expected epic showdown between Tamra and Gretchen and whether this will result in a one season "sorry we used you" Ms. Rossi or whether it will be the ultimate end of Miss Judge as an Orange Holder. In other news, Karen Huger checks out of rehab, fires her legal team, gets her sentence pushed back til later this month and looks ahead to a future which may or may not include RHOP and may or may not include actual jail time. Another new franchise is expected to start filming soon - The Real Housewives of Rhode Island and we share all that we know, who is being cast and what franchise this is expected to replace. RHONY cast changes are in motion, RHOSLC reunion comes to a close and we share a special message for Andy Cohen, Angie K and last, but not least, Meredith Marks.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  QUIP- https://getquip.com/velvet (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Sitewide Plus a Free Travel Case and Countertop Stand on the Best, Most Fun Oral Care Around)  MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
