Real Housewives of Potomac had a pretty solid cast the past four seasons. Original housewives Gizelle Bryant, Robyn Dixon, Karen Huger, and Ashley Darby provided just the right mix of drama and friendship. Gizelle could always be counted on for directing snarky comments towards frenemy Karen while Robyn hung on her coattails. Monique Samuels joined the cast in Season 2. She brought a fun vibe to the group, as well as a more laid-back attitude overall.
Things got heavy last season when Ashley’s husband Michael Darby was accused of sexual assault. The rumors were peaking during filming and caused tensions within the group as Ashley was pressed for answers. The housewife that seemed most affected was Candiace Dillard. Candiace went after Ashley with some seemingly misplaced anger, probably something she meant to direct to mama Dorothy. At this point, the mother-daughter bickering is getting a bit tired. As are a few other storylines. Did anyone really care about Robyn rekindling her love life with ex-husband Juan Dixon last season? How about the underwhelming reveal of Karen’s fragrance line? Maybe it’s time to bring some new energy to the show.
