"The Real Housewives Of Orange County" will have a few new faces in the upcoming season and a photo of them leaked on social media filming with two of the regular cast members. RealHousewives101 tweeted an image captured of the group taping at The Deck in Laguna on Monday.
Photos leak of filming in Laguna
Kelly Dodd and Tamra Judge are seen in one of the photos and the two new cast members are photographed in another. It's hard to tell who's who in the second image since the show's latest additions have their backs turned to the camera. It appears that one is a woman with long blonde hair and the other has dark strawberry blonde tresses.
According to the tweet, the newcomers pictured are Gina Kirshenheiter and Emily Moore Simpson. Both are rumored to be on season 13 of "RHOC." The blonde is most likely Gina while the woman with the darker hair is thought to be Emily.
Radar Online reported not long ago that a third cast member will be added to season 13 -- Tatiana Beene. As the story goes, Gina is one of Tamra's BFFs and Tatiana is a friend of Gina's.

All are believed to come aboard replacing three that left after season 12 -- Lydia McLaughlin, Meghan King Edmonds, and Peggy Sulahian.
Their absence would leave quite a gap, so it makes sense that the show would need more to be part of the dramatic lineup.
Three cast members confirm return
Three "rhoc" stars have confirmed their return. Bravo reports that Kelly, Tamra, and Shannon Beador are coming back for season 13. It's not really a surprise that this trio is coming back since they've shared photos of themselves on social media during filming of the show.
Last week the cast went to Jamaica to film the show. Vicki Gunvalson was in the images they shared. None of the new cast members were shown, however.
The official cast won't be announced until the show is closer to premiering. Fans have a few months longer to wait until the new season airs, but in the meantime social media, reports, and leaked photos will keep everyone in the loop.
Some dynamics will shift, especially with Kelly and Shannon. The two women have more in common since they divorced their husbands around the same time. In the past they were sworn enemies, but it appears from photos the two have posted on Instagram that they're getting along well for the most part. Of course, one must remember that alliances shake up fast in this group.
"The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 13 premieres later this summer on Bravo.
