Last month, Andy Cohen revealed the Real Housewives star he wished had "stuck around longer" in the franchise.
During an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen @ Home, Danny Pellegrino, who is the host of the Everything Iconic podcast, asked Cohen the burning question, according to Bravo's The Daily Dish.
"I always kind of long for a Caroline Manzo," Andy said after giving the question some thought. "Obviously, you wish that Bethenny [Frankel] had stuck around."
Andy added during the WWHL: @ Home After Show, "Obviously, I wish Lisa Vanderpump had stayed."
Andy also added Lydia McLaughlin to the list. "In her first season, she had a good first season and then she left of her own accord," Andy explained. "So in that first go 'round, I kind of wish that she had stayed around."
Ryan Flynn, Senior Vice President, Current Production at Bravo, told The Daily Dish podcast in 2017 that Lydia was also "someone who I was sad to see go."
"When she didn't come back the first time, we all wanted her back. And it just didn't work for a lot of reasons. I think it was family. I think it was kids. I think it's a lot of things," Flynn, who was an EP on RHOC during Lydia's first season, said prior to her return in Season 12, according to Bravo's The Daily Dish. "But as a fan, even though I don't oversee Orange County anymore, I'm so excited that she's back because I always loved that sort of that spunky, sparkly energy. She's the kind of woman who would step foot in a pit of fire and somehow dance through it all and smile. And I think that's so great about her."
Caroline is an OG RHONJ cast member. She appeared in Seasons 1 through 5. Bethenny has also been a part of RHONY from the start, appearing in Seasons 1 through 3 and, later, Seasons 7 through 11. LVP appeared in Seasons 1 through 9 of RHOBH.
As for Lydia, she appeared in Season 8 and returned for Season 12 but left after that season. In 2020, she and her mother landed their own digital series on Bravotv.com called Glitter Town.
