During a recent episode of Andy Cohen Live, host Andy Cohen addressed a buzzing question among Bravo enthusiasts: Could Summer House stars Paige DeSorbo and Lindsay Hubbard potentially join the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY)? This inquiry came from fans Lauren and Mariah Smith, prompting Cohen to share insights during his Sirius XM broadcast.
Insights from Andy Cohen on RHONY Potential Cast Members
“You know, it’s interesting. I mean, we haven’t really had those discussions seriously at Bravo. I did bring one of them up in a meeting,” Cohen shared on Andy Cohen Live.
While Cohen did not confirm any definite casting choices, he hinted that discussions may progress, highlighting the intriguing potential for cross-casting among Bravo franchises. He noted that both women are local to New York, yet emphasized the lack of serious talks regarding their participation in RHONY.
“First of all, I don’t see Paige at this moment in her life saying that’s my next step,” he explained.
Though he left specifics unclear, Cohen indicated that Paige’s current career trajectory might not align with the demands of RHONY. This insight reflects the ongoing evolution of both stars and their personal ambitions.
Paige DeSorbo’s Current Endeavors
Paige has recently been making waves in the podcasting arena, co-hosting Giggly Squad alongside Hannah Berner, while also concluding a successful comedy tour. The duo is set to publish their book, How to Giggle, sharing their unique outlook and life advice in a humorous light.
Lindsay Hubbard’s Interest in RHONY
On the other hand, Lindsay Hubbard has expressed significant interest in RHONY, as noted by Cohen. Her enthusiasm has been apparent through her social media posts.
“Lindsay I think has been kind of posting about it and I think I can’t say anything more about it,” he remarked.
Erin Lichy Weighs In on the Future of RHONY
In an exclusive discussion with Us Weekly on March 3, 2025, Erin Lichy from RHONY expressed her thoughts about the show’s direction. She was not surprised by Bravo’s casting call for season 16, initiated while season 15 was still airing, and expressed curiosity regarding new cast members.
“I think we could use some new blood, I’m kind of excited to see. I mean, I have some friends that I hope maybe will join, and I don’t know,” she shared.
Addressing Lindsay Hubbard’s possible addition, Erin admitted she was unaware of Lindsay’s interest until it surfaced online.
“I didn’t know that she wanted to join. I’m actually having lunch with her and our daughters in a little while so I’m gonna talk to her about that,” Erin mentioned.
Erin expressed that she believes Lindsay would be a fantastic fit for the show, though she wanted to have a personal conversation with her about the prospect first. The conversation also touched on former RHONY star Kelly Bensimon’s thoughts on casting, though Erin chose not to elaborate on that front, saying she had “no words for that whole thing.”
