Real Housewives of New York\u2019s\u00a0Erin Lichy is\u00a0hopeful about the future of the franchise and, if it\u00a0was\u00a0her choice,\u00a0would\u00a0like to have three of her castmates back on the show.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Context\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lichy joined the\u00a0Real Housewives of New York\u00a0(RHONY) when it\u00a0was rebooted with an entirely new cast for the 14th season and has appeared on the last two seasons of the show. NBC made the decision to completely re-cast the show after a negative reaction to the 13th season, marking the first time they decided to start the\u00a0show\u2019s\u00a0cast from scratch.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

After two seasons, rumors started to spread in May that the show had been canceled, something Bravo denied. Executive producer\u00a0Andy Cohen<\/a> later confirmed that the show was just between seasons and the network was meeting with potential new\u00a0housewives\u00a0for an upcoming season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"What To Know\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lichy, who published her book, She\u2019s\u00a0a Host, between Housewives seasons,\u00a0told\u00a0Newsweek\u00a0that she sees a future for RHONY. If she\u00a0were\u00a0to pick the cast, she said\u00a0she\u2019d\u00a0like to see three of her castmates\u2014Jessel Taank, Sai da\u00a0Silva\u00a0and Jenna Lyons\u2014on the show with her.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

While\u00a0she\u2019d\u00a0also like to have Ubah Hassan\u00a0on the show, Lichy said she thinks Uba has \u201cmoved on with her life\u201d and\u00a0wouldn\u2019t\u00a0be interested.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

RHONY received some criticism for not having the same\u00a0synergy\u00a0as other franchises, with former Housewife Bethenny Frankel<\/a> joking that \u201c30 people in the country\u201d watched the reboot. She called for Bravo to bring back the original cast. Cohen defended the reboot, telling Deadline that he believed in the new cast, calling them \u201caspirational\u201d and saying that Bravo\u00a0was \u201ckind of looking to the future\u201d with the reboot.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lichy told Newsweek\u00a0that it\u00a0\u201ctakes awhile\u201d for a new cast to\u00a0gel\u00a0and people should think of RHONY as essentially a new show. She called the comparisons to the original a \u201cproblem\u201d\u00a0and noted that the reboot is different from other franchises. Going into the show, the cast each had businesses and \u201creal careers,\u201d\u00a0whereas\u00a0a lot of women on the show started out as\u00a0housewives.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Housewives from several franchises have said that joining the show is an experience no one can entirely prepare a person for and that someone\u00a0who\u00a0hasn\u2019t\u00a0been on a show can\u2019t\u00a0understand. Lichy described it as something unlike any other business venture\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0done and said she thinks her devotion to her friends has gotten misconstrued on the show.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI have had friends since I was 2 years old, so I am a\u00a0girl\u2019s\u00a0girl and I\u2019m a really good friend,\u201d Lichy said. \u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0really important\u00a0to me.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lichy conceded that there are always going to be people who watch the show and think a situation should have been handled differently.\u00a0But,\u00a0she\u00a0said, she\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0want to be portrayed as a bad friend when\u00a0that’s\u00a0a part of her that she truly values.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

What\u00a0People Are\u00a0Saying\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Erin Lichy told Newsweek:\u00a0\u201cI trust that [Bravo] will do exactly what\u2019s right for the show.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Andy Cohen, on\u00a0Sirius XM\u2019s The Andy Cohen Show, in\u00a0September:\u00a0\u201cIs Ubah coming back? We will see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

What Happens Next\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cohen confirmed that RHONY will have another season and has teased that there are several cast members in\u00a0place but\u00a0has not elaborated on who will be joining the show.\u00a0\u00a0
