'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' season 7 cast: Eileen Davidson is done with the show for now

 Bravo TV

There are now new casting updates on the seventh season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." This series is apparently removing a lot of regulars, according to Inquisitr. Eileen Davidson has not been asked to return to the series for season 7 later this year, and when she was requested, it was instead for a role as a "friend of the wives".

Enstarz mentions that she is reportedly hesitant to take on this role, since it is a demotion from her initial position. Tamra Tattles recently revealed that when Davidson was given the option, she claimed the actress "balked" at the idea of only showing up in season 7 as "a friend" of Lisa Ranna, her friend and co-star.

Other rumors suggest that this is due to her not having much of a story in the past two seasons, and she hasn't provided enough drama to make her relevant to the main story. She is also reported to be earning too much for only adding a little to the story, which could be why they are reluctant to get her back on the show. She apparently has "basically no storyline other than fighting with Lisa V. in the previous season," according to an inside source.

Parent Herald also reports that Yolanda Hadid and Kathryn Edwards might also be losing their roles. Hadid hasn't provided much of a story due to her medical condition and marital issues brought about by having Lyme Disease. Unfortunately, this means that nobody really wants her back. Edwards, on the other hand, seems to have been crossed out of the list for no particular reason.

Bustle, meanwhile, confirms that Brandi Glanville will not be returning, as announced last year. However, Glanville does say that she will consider returning, as long as she has some emotional support to have her back. Until then, she will only show up for guest appearances and reunions. Meanwhile, Lisa Rinna, Lisa Vanderpump, Erika Girardi and Kyle Richards have already signed their contracts and will be making their return for the new season.
