Alex Baskin might not be a familiar name to you, but he has his hands in a lot of what you watch. The CEO of recently established 32 Flavors Entertainment is also an executive producer of both Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Vanderpump Rules, and Real Housewives of Orange County. Alex has been around for a minute, but Scandoval was his big moment.
So this man knows a thing or two about how Real Housewives works and more importantly, WHO works on Real Housewives. While an ex is usually an ex for a reason, sometimes former Housewives return after taking a pause. Now Alex addresses the rumors regarding a possible comeback of Alexis Bellino to RHOC.
Just because you want it doesn’t mean you’ll get it …
The EP extraordinaire spoke with The Cut regarding Orange County and it’s flip-flopping cast. Tamra Judge returned after taking two seasons off. Taylor Armstrong was axed after one season as a friend, and Vicki Gunvalson is still somewhere in a corner rocking back and forth hoping her phone will ring. But what’s going on with Alexis?
After taking up with Shannon Beador’s ex-boyfriend and appearing at BravoCon 2023, is Lex campaigning to grab that orange? She originally joined RHOC in Season 5 and was most often the target of Tammy Sue. Alexis peaced out in Season 8 and had some life changes, including divorcing her husband, Jim Bellino.
Alex said there are eyes on Alexis and her antics at the moment, but it doesn’t guarantee we’ll see her fighting in the ring with Shannon when RHOC returns. He said, “Just because someone is campaigning for a return, that doesn’t mean that it always happens.”
Hear that Vicki? Let the mouse go! That said, things are looking pretty favorable for Alexis at the moment. Tamra is currently not getting along with Shannon and has been leaving sweet comments on Alexis’ social media – so she’s obviously ready to get the party started.
Either way, RHOC will most likely start filming in early 2024, so the main cast will be announced sooner rather than later. We might see some sparks coming from the West Coast in the New Year.
TELL US – DO YOU THINK VICKI WILL EVER RETURN? IS ALEXIS ABOUT TO MAKE HER BIG COMEBACK TO THE SHOW?
