‘RHOC’ Tamra Barney Season 10 Cast News; Lydia McLaughlin Returns?

There has been all sorts of speculation about who would or wouldn't be joining Bravo's The Real Housewives of Orange County in Season 10, but it seems that Tamra Barney Judge has finally confirmed the 2015 cast lineup for her fans on Instagram. While it looks from Tamra's photograph that former costar, Lydia McLaughlin is not going to be a part of the TV show in the coming year, the uber-Christian author insists she would be willing to return to the series now that she's already taken time off to have her baby.

It looks as though Katie Hailton really won't be joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County despite the fact that she's getting divorced to her MLB drug abusing husband, Josh.

Series troublemaker, Tamra Barney, just announced on Instagram that the shooting has already come to end on Season 10, along with what seems to be that entire new cast line up:

"That's a wrap!

"Thank you @ozsgrlfitness I love how you did my hair @beblownaway (missing Vicki she had left right before this pic) #rhoc. Airing in June. @meghankedmonds @heatherdubrow @shannonbeador.

Although she clearly didn't seem to make the cut this year, Lydia McLaughlin, recently let it be known in a interview with WetPaint that she was interested in coming back to the show now that she'd had new baby, but only if the good lord also gave the go ahead, of course (via Inquisitr):

"I say in the book that I would be open to maybe going back one day if I felt like it was my calling, or, you know...I don't think that there was like, 'This happened, so I left.'

"It was just the stage of life that I was in. I wanted to have another baby, and I felt like the first season I did was very draining, and I needed to just focus on myself and kind of get back to who I know I am to be."

Despite the fact that Lydia claims to have kept up with Gretchen Rossi and Alexis Bellino, McLaughlin explained that she really doesn't have any sort of relationship at all with any of the current cast members:

"I might see Heather.

"Sometimes we work out at the same gym, so we say, 'hello,' and it's very cordial, but once I was off the show, then that was pretty much the end of our friendship."

The real question isn't whether or not Lydia would be willing to return to the show, but why anyone would want her to come back in the first place.
