Drama Will Rock the Ladies When The Real Housewives of Orange County Returns This July

We hope you're sitting down, because things are about to get crazy in the O.C. when The Real Housewives of Orange County returns this July. There will be drag, shots, tears and prayers — and that's just the beginning.

In addition to welcoming a familiar face, Lydia McLaughlin, back into the clique, there's also a glam new 'Wife in town: Peggy Sulahian (who just so happens to be the 100th Housewife ever). And she isn't afraid to flaunt her love for pricey jewels and fast rides. But it's not just Peggy's cars that are making noise, as none of the ladies are holding back. There is plenty of drama to go around and lots of allegations being thrown around: "We have a new puppet master," Kelly Dodd shares about one of crew members.

Vicki Gunvalson is currently enjoying life with her beau, Steve, while also getting to spend more time with her daughter, Briana, and her grandkids since their move back to the O.C. Still, there's always drama lurking as she and Tamra Judge are still at odds. Tamra's commitment to her faith grows even stronger as she spends more and more time with Lydia, who hopes to mend Tamra and Vicki's broken friendship.

Meghan King Edmonds is adjusting to new life as a mom after welcoming her daughter, Aspen King Edmonds, into her life last November. And, Shannon Beador is dealing with the stress of trying to get back into shape while also keeping the spark going in her marriage and caring for her new pup, Archie. Meanwhile Kelly is still dealing with her complicated marriage to Michael while trying to forge stronger relationships with Tamra and Shannon.

RHOC returns Monday, July 10 at 9/8c. Check out some throwback pics from the SoCal squad, below.
