Garcelle Beauvais is saying goodbye to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after five seasons. The Actress made her Bravo debut in Season 10 and quickly became a fan favorite. She faced the alphas in the group head-on and stood up for the women who were being picked apart by the more seasoned cast members.
She announced her departure in March, telling fans she wants to focus on family and other creative endeavors. Garcelle’s exit has sparked conversation about who will replace her next season. There are a few former cast members that I believe would be a great addition to Season 15.
Here are my top picks.
Kim Richards should return to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Kim Richards has always been one of my favorite RHOBH cast members. She’s hilarious, dramatic, and her relationship with her sisters in fascinating. RHOBH hits it peak when Kim called Eileen Davidson a “beast” during a dinner in Amsterdam in Season 5. Those were the days.
I’ve been manifesting Kim’s return for years and Garcelle’s exit may provide the perfect opening. Not to mention, Kyle Richards went through hell in Season 14 and may need additional sister support next year. Even Bravo God Andy Cohen wants her back in the mix. He spoke about her possible resurgence in a May 2024 interview with Parade.
“I think now that we’ve got Kyle and Kathy [Hilton], I think it would be fun if Kim Richards came back,” he told the publication.
Carlton Gebbia should return to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Carlton Gebbia was a controversial character during her time on the network. She joined the cast in Season 4 and was treated rather coldly by the other women. She butted heads with a few ladies but she found a sworn enemy in Kyle, who she appeared to really dislike. Carlton only lasted one season, which pleased some fans and upset others. She’s a bit of a polarizing figure in the Bravoverse with some fans supporting her return and others hoping she never does. I’m in the first camp. I don’t think Carlton was given a fair chance in her first season and I would like to see more of her.
Lisa Vanderpump should return to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Lisa Vanderpump made it quite clear she wants nothing to do with RHOBH, which in my opinion, is a real tragedy. I was distraught when LVP left the show in 2019 over PUPPY DRAMA (ridiculous!) but I remained hopeful she would return, especially after Lisa Rinna left the show in 2023. Andy Cohen asked LVP if she would return given Rinna’s exit during a March 2023 episode of Watch What Happens Live. She gave a coy response, telling Andy he was “on the right path” by letting go of Rinna but there are a few more that need to go. Yikes. Many fans thought Lisa was referencing Kyle, who she had a falling out with during Season 9.
Kyle had a difficult time in Season 14 and many fans thought she would depart RHOBH because of it. She addressed the speculation in a January 2025 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, telling the outlet she was unsure if she would return to the show.
“I always say I never know because it depends on my personal life emotionally — if I can handle it, what my lifestyle is at the time,” she shared. “One day, that day will come where I’ll say, ’OK, enough.’”
Kyle’s recent comments made fans wonder if LVP would make a comeback. However, she shot down the rumors in a February 2025 interview with People. We won’t see LVP in Season 15 but I’m still clinging onto hope she will return to the show one day.
Yolanda Hadid should return to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Like LVP, Yolanda Hadid’s feud with Rinna kept her far away from RHOBH. But now that Rinna is gone, fans are wondering if a Yolanda return could be in the cards. In 2022, the Bravo alum said she was not interested in returning to the franchise. But who knows, she may have changed her mind in the last few years. I think it would be interesting to see how Yolanda vibes with the new group of women. She’s never been afraid to speak her mind, which fans love. I believe she would have an interesting perspective on the current drama.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock.
