Behind the Screen: Real Housewives of Orange County

Cast spoilers represent the lifeblood of competitive reality TV fandom. Knowing who's on a season — and more importantly, who was cut — shapes the entire viewing experience for superfans.

Vevmo's spoiler community has built a reputation for accuracy that production companies both fear and respect. The forum's track record speaks for itself.

Real Housewives of Orange County

tvobsessed ·

Does anyone have any information on which housewife departs in episode three airing 12/09/08? I've narrowed it down to Lauri (her interest in participation seems to be dwindling) and Gretchen (her fiancée passed away in September after battling acute leukemia). Also, what do we know about new cast member Lynne Curtin? Thanks in advance :moon: (<-- I just liked that one)

Well I guess now we know it was Lauri. That may just be for Season 4; rumor is that she will come back for Season 5. Jeanna might be leaving for Season 5?!

The OC is currently filming season 5! Tamara shared the info on one of Andy Cohen's video blogs. No time frame for the airing but probably next April or May!

I love these seasons, because I live in Orange County.

OK, so I used to watch this show when it first started out. Does anyone know what happened with the woman in the first season with two daughters? She had darker hair..was her name Tami?

Actually Tammy joined in the second season I believe to replace Kimberly who had another cancer scare while on the show and left deciding she just wanted to focus on the fam. Now and then Kimberly will show up still. Tammy I think just either wasn't asked back or decided to kind of get out of the spotlight since she had the younger son. Tammy I think showed up again a season or two ago since she was/is friends with Jeana.

I sometimes hate living in the OC because these women make it seem so terrible.

Oh okay, I really liked her.

Yeah I liked her too. She seemed normal. Gasp! I had a friend who lived in Coto and knew most of the housewives one way or another, so it was interesting to hear her interactions with them vs how they were portrayed. Most of the time it matched.

I think it was her choice to leave the show because I remembered they made a big deal out of her departure on the actual episodes. Her husband died, right? Damn I wish Bravo would have more marathons. They have an Atlanta one tomorrow, but I'm going to the casino for my 21st. I don't have tivo either.

Hope you have a great 21st! It was the best birthday ever. Mainly because I had never drank and went WAY overboard. Bad idea.
Dartagnan#13
If I run into them, I'll take pictures.

Yeah Tammy's ex-husband died! She stopped filming the show cause their kids were having a difficult time with his death which is extremely understandable. Laurie left last season but may return next season. Gretchen will not be back! Jeana will not be back! I think that is all the changes for the 5th season.

Oh I didn't know about that one! Kind of a shocker.

Thats what I thought had happened, but I wasn't sure. It was such a long time ago. Shocker that Jeana is leaving, she's my favorite and one of the originals.
bsteve#17
I know Jeana is one of my favs too! I think she has been having issues with her husband for several years but was not able to keep it out of the show the last couple of seasons!
JNE90#18
Jeana is coming back! Does anyone know when season 5 starts? please let me know.
tatertots#19
In case anyone cares, supposedly Gretchen and Slade are an item and have been for the past few months! I just found this out and all I could think about was all the RHOC intermingling then I got grossed out...

Did anyone watch the premiere? This is the first I've watched OC... NJ was my first season... but I really liked the premiere... crazy drama there at the end tho! I can't wait till next week!
Anonymous#23
I watched this when it first came out but its getting harder and harder to keep up with all the franchises. The OC is def. my favorite though, maybe because it was my first. Is this season 5?
saltvinegar#24
I usually catch OC on marathons but it is definetly a good one! Jersey is my favorite so far.

I agree. New Jersey is the only one where I kept up with the show. I used to watch the OC faithfully but now I just catch it during marathons.
Dandelion#26
Yeah Jersey I was totally caught up in... I got involved because most of the filming was 15 minutes from my house... I tried to watch Atlanta, but I just had no interest in the show... but OC def seems a lot more interesting...

I like the RHOC, but they dont have that ummph factor that the RHOA have. I mean RHOA had the HIGHEST ratings of ANY season in the whole series. I dont like Tamra and that other old blonde girl. They annoy me. Team Gretchen FTW
saltvinegar#28
Tamara seems so mean! Why is it any of her business what kind of vibrater Gretchen uses? I like Gretchen!
Dandelion#29
It's funny.... I like Gretchen too.. but since I just started watching I was sure if I should... Because I started watching NJ late &amp; I felt so bad for Danielle... I thought Dina was sooo mean to hear... than I watched from the begining and had a whole different perspective... Now I heart Dina!
Thing 3#30
The think i dont like about the OC housewives is that they seem really High School when they all get together. Especially Tamara and Vicki
Anonymous#31
If the show continues to be about icky slade and taliban jim I won't watch the show anymore. I'm sorry, I thought we were watching the real housewives of oc, not husbands. Slade, please get a job and pay your child support. Simon is disgusting and Lynn/Frank are horrible excuses of parents. Pretty said when the people who are the most tolerable on the show are Vicki and Tamra. Gretchen is just as vile for backing Slade up. And I really tried to have her back this year, but at the reunion, she just lost me.
