Let’s talk about Heather’s place within the RHOC cast:
Fancy Pants uploaded a photo carousel on Instagram, teasing what’s ahead in 2026. “Excited for what the new year may bring !!! 💎💎💎✨✨✨.”
Since Heather used diamond emojis, fans jumped to the conclusion that she may be switching franchises. Her husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, slid into the comments, adding: “Diamonds are forever,” playing into the narrative that she may join the RHOBH cast, leaving her orange behind.
MJ Javid, who stars in the upcoming show The Valley: Persian Style, spilled that Vicki Gunvalson is returning to RHOC because Heather is heading to RHOBH.
