We’re less than a month away from reuniting with cast members Gizelle Bryant, Candiace Dillard Bassett, Ashley Darby, Robyn Dixon, Karen Huger, Wendy Osefo, Mia Thornton, and (meeting) newcomer Nneka Ihim. Per the show’s press release, the ladies will begin the season with "new dynamics and different vibes.”

However, things aren’t exactly all cherry blossoms and champagne for two of the RHOP ‘Wives. More specifically, Karen and Candiace will be dealing with some rather difficult matter in their personal lives. Find out all the details about their situations by scrolling below.

What we know about Karen Huger’s health journey on RHOP Season 8

According to the press release, Karen is nearing her “triple twenty” milestone, aka her 60th birthday, and while readying for her new chapter, she is halted by a “health scare” that causes her to make a few lifestyle changes.

In true Karen strength, she doesn’t let the unexpected news get the best of her as she tries to carry on her family’s “legacy” by converting her grandmother’s home in Surry County into a guest house/lodge.

What else to expect from Karen Huger on RHOP Season 8

For years, we’ve witnessed Karen and Gizelle go through numerous ups and downs in their friendship, but in Season 8, things for the two are better than ever.

As for the Grand Dame’s dynamics with the other ladies, she doesn’t seem to be in too good of a place with Mia and Robyn, which can be seen in the trailer tease above.

What we know about Candiace Dillard Bassett’s health journey on RHOP Season 8

Much like Karen, Candiace will be dealing with her own health journey on the upcoming season of RHOP.

With Candiace’s music career steadily on the rise and headlining her sensual Deep Space tour, the singer’s “extremely busy” life is starting to take a toll on her marriage to Chris Bassett, per the press release. As Candiace contemplates what’s next, she finds herself “stressed out” and “becomes even more anxious due to a recent health discovery."

Already dealing with a lot in her personal life, Candiace doesn’t catch much of a break with the group of ladies. Not only is she still on the outs with Gizelle from last season, but she also still has differences with Ashley and is “going through a rough patch with Robyn.
