Lisa Rinna is set to make her return to "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

Although Bravo has yet to confirm its season 6 cast, it was reported earlier this year that the former soap opera star has been seen filming scenes for the Bravo franchise's new season. Back in July, the Daily Mail reported that Rinna and "RHOBH" co-star Lisa Vanderpump were seen shopping at a Beverly Hills boutique and that their shopping trip was filmed for the reality series.

This week, Rinna was also featured in an episode of "The Real Housewives of Orange County." In the episode, the 52-year-old celebrity met up with Heather Dubrow as the "RHOC" star asked for advice about launching her skincare line. Rinna, who has her own QVC fashion line, was able to impart a lot of business wisdom to her good friend during the meeting. 

While Rinna made her mark on television acting in the soap opera "Days of Our Lives" and the hit '90s series "Melrose Place," she said that being on reality TV gave her "her voice." The star joined the Bravo show during its fifth season, and she appeared to be very much in her element as she traded jokes and insults with the other housewives during her first season on the show. 

"The voice has always been there. It's been inside of me, but it gave me the permission to really fly," she said

Although Rinna's QVC line is doing very well, she said that to ensure that her other endeavors will be successful, it is important that she is on TV.

"I'm an entrepreneur at heart and to make all of other businesses run and do everything I want to do, I have to be on TV," she said in a clip from "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" 

Although she was initially hesitant to join the reality show, Rinna said that it helped that she knew the ladies before she signed up for the popular franchise. 

"I knew the girls on the show, and that's one of the reasons I felt comfortable," she said.
