According to an insider, season 19 of RHOC “felt like the farewell tour” for longtime favorite, Heather Dubrow.
The source claimed: “I think she’s done after this season. She’s made her mark, she did what she need to do but her heart isn’t in OC.
“That’s no secret. She’s all over the world, she’s in LA. She’s not close with the cast.
“Pretty sure Heather is going to fly the nest after this one so fans of hers, enjoy her final season!”
The Bravo insider also hinted that another RHOC star may be done after this upcoming season comes to an end.
According to the informant, newer star Katie Ginella will also most likely not be back for another season after struggling to get along with the ladies this year.
“Katie just doesn’t fit in with this group and fans will see… things are going to get a lot worse for her.
“The premiere isn’t good for her and things will just spiral more and more for her.

“She is not cut out for reality TV. No way she’ll be back,” the source claimed.
Katie, 41, made her Bravo debut during season 18 of RHOC and had a rocky start as she often butted heads with the cast.
She regularly fought with not only Heather, but also longtime stars Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador.
CAST CRUMBLING
Previously, The U.S. Sun reported that Katie was unlikely to return as she had been booted from an Amsterdam cast trip with the ladies and didn’t participate in filming many of the events in the latter half of the season.
Meanwhile, Heather, 56, has been a standout Housewife for years after first joining the show in 2013 for season 7.
Heather’s powerhouse demeanor, glamorous wealth, and happy family life all made her a favorite from the jump.
She made a name for herself, alongside with her Botched plastic surgeon husband, Terry Dubrow, as the family appeared on RHOC for four years until season 11.
The former actress announced she would be leaving the show in 2016 to focus on her family life as her older kids prepared to head off to college.
Real Housewives Franchises
Over the last few decades, there is currently 10 versions of the Real Housewives.
However, she ended up returning in season 16 – which widely showcased the sale of her 20,000-square-foot palatial Newport Beach estate for a staggering $55 million.
She continued her role on the show for seasons 17 and 18, and came back once again this year for season 19.
In addition to Heather, Katie, Shannon and Tamra, season 19 will star returning stars Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and Jennifer Pedranti.
Season 19 will also mark the return of Gretchen Rossi, 46, who was a main cast member from seasons 4 through 8.
She made a massive splash during her original run, and fans have begged Bravo to bring her back on the show in the years since her departure.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 premieres tonight, Thursday, July 10, at 8 pm EST on Bravo.
