Four of the six housewives featured on the fifth season of The Real Housewives of Orange County returned for the sixth instalment.[15] Despite Jeana Keough's mid-season departure in the fifth season, Keough returned to season six in a recurring capacity.[16][17][18] The season also saw Lynne Curtin departing the series but continued to make guest appearances throughout the series.[19][20] During an episode of Watch What Happens Live Curtin has since revealed she is open to a return to the series as a full-time cast member saying, "I would love to come back." During that same episode former wives Keough and Lauri Peterson revealed they weren't open to a return as a full-time cast member. Two new women were introduced to the series in season six, Peggy Tanous as a full-time cast member and who is described as a "stay-at-home mom with poster girl good looks", and Fernanda Rocha in a recurring capacity, a friend to Tamra Barney who is described as a "hot Brazilian lesbian fitness instructor."[21]
