The 10^th season of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" has yet to be scheduled as season 9 just ended. However, speculations as to which of the casts will return for the next season are stirring.

According to Hallels, "The previous season brought to the TV spotlight the lives of veteran cast members Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, and Heather Dubrow along with those of newcomers Shannon Beador and Lizzie Rovsek."

In a report from LALATE, it was stated that Judge will return for Season 10 of RHOC, including previously mentioned Rovsek, Judge's new nemesis.

Judge has just won in the 50/50 child custody battle with husband Simon Barney over their two children-Spencer, 14, and Sophia, 8, stated Hallels. Barney reportedly said: "I hope that by bringing this court action it will force her to, hopefully, become a better mother. If that happens, everyone wins ... I would have been remiss if I did not fight to protect our children."

A separate custody for their other child, 15-year old Sidney, is on the way, added the site. The girl apparently left Judge and is now living full-time with Barney.

Gossip also has it that Dubrow and her husband, Terry, won't return, but all of that is not likely to happen, said the outlet.

It seems that paycheck is a huge motivation for the cast to return. "Next season, LALATE can report that Vicki's salary will approach $750,000, Tamra could make nearly $600,000, and the other cast will get raises as well," the same source added.

According to Rumor Fix, all "Real Housewives of Orange County" season 9 cast will be back. The site reported, "Well, RumorFix can tell you exclusively all three of those ladies have been asked back along with Vicik Gunvalson and Shannona Beador. Our Real Mr. Housewife spoke to a source close to production, who says, 'At the current moment, the entire cast is being asked back.'"

Rumor Fix also said that there will be fresh personalities appearing on the show, including a new girl and a new friend. Athletic wives and someone who plays professional baseball could also appear on the series. Specifically, talks about Kobe Bryant's wife being cast on "The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 10 is currently circulating.
