A familiar face is making a comeback to the world of reality television. Dorinda Medley, a former star of The Real Housewives of New York City, has officially reappeared within the franchise, sparking significant excitement among viewers.
Her return was confirmed with the release of a trailer for the upcoming series The Real Housewives of London. In the preview, Medley is seen sharing a meal with cast member Caroline Stanbury, exchanging candid remarks that have already generated buzz online.
The moment was swiftly celebrated by fans on social media, with many expressing surprise and delight at her unexpected appearance. Comments ranged from comparisons to a dramatic resurrection to acknowledgments of her personal history in London, suggesting her involvement feels like a natural fit.
Medley’s exit from the New York edition after its twelfth season, a move described at the time as being “put on pause,” left a void for a dedicated segment of the audience. This sentiment grew stronger when the network later introduced an entirely new cast for the show’s reboot, a decision that has remained a point of contention for longtime followers.
In a recent interview, Medley reflected on her departure, describing it as a heartbreaking experience. She emphasized her commitment to authenticity during her tenure, even if it was a challenging period. Regarding the franchise’s direction, she has publicly questioned the strategy of a complete cast overhaul, suggesting there could be value in integrating personalities from different eras of the show.
The future of the New York installment itself remains uncertain. While it has been reported to be in a state of hiatus, conflicting statements indicate that casting efforts may still be underway, leaving its ultimate fate unclear for now.
