RHOC Season 18 Plot Twist May Throw Shannon Beador Off Her Game

Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 could be the wildest yet if Bravo has their way. There are reports that the network may be making a pretty bold cast addition that could find Shannon Beador smack dab in the middle of some major drama.

Bravo Stirs the Pot Between Shannon Beador and Alexis Bellino

Real Housewives of Orange County fans know that Shannon Beador has had a tough year. But leave it to Bravo to capitalize on her troubles. Shannon says she is working hard to get her life back on track after her recent DUI arrest. She admits that it was humiliating, and she used poor judgment. She also recently split from her boyfriend of three years, John Janssen.

Page Six reports that Shannon says the breakup caught her off guard and was tough on her. But things could get worse. Her ex is now dating former Real Housewives of Orange County cast member Alexis Bellino. It also just so happens that Bravo is in talks to bring Alexis back for Season 18. So, you can see how this could pose a few issues for Shannon.

This move could also be huge for the network’s ratings, especially if Alexis and Shannon are ready to tear each other’s hair out over it. Bravo loves to stir the drama pot, and if this deal goes down, fans will surely see some wild catfights breakout during the RHOC season.

Alexis Remains Unsure About Returning to Real Housewives of Orange County

According to Radar Online, Bravo has some work cut out for them if they hope to convince Alexis Bellino to return. So far, Alexis has yet to sign on officially, but the network remains hopeful they will lock her down for season 18 of Real Housewives of Orange County when they meet again on December 16.

Sources close to Bravo claim that Alexis is on the table about returning. They say that she feels the filming schedule may be longer than she wants to commit to. However, there could be more to it. Some fans believe Alexis may not want to deal with the drama her return would spark between herself and Shannon Beador.

It would certainly make for an uncomfortable season between the two women. The network knows that a season full of wild confrontations and catfights between Alexis Bellino and Shannon Beador would be reality TV gold for them. It would also be challenging for Shannon to deal with. But that has never stopped Bravo before. So, if they have their way, season 18 of Real Housewives of Orange County could be one for the record book. Would you like to see Shannon and Alexis face off in season 18?
