Vicki Gunvalson has reportedly dropped a social media hint at the upcoming 12th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

According to a new report, Gunvalson may have posted a photo of a new cast member on her Instagram page days ago.

"Having so much fun at her first OC dinner at Mastros. She just moved here from Atlanta. Give her some love girls! @briannastanko #rhocinthemaking #season12 #letsgo @rhoc_kellyddodd Kelly we are missing you girl," Gunvalson wrote in the caption of the photo below.

 

Accordind to a report by Real Mr. Housewife, Gunvalson's caption was likely a hint that the woman in the photo would be joining the cast -- and that Kelly Dodd would likely be returning to the show. However, when it comes to an official announcement, Bravo TV will likely remain silent for the next several months.

Gunvalson also recently reflected on 2016.

"Just finished with cleaning up the dishes from Christmas dinner and from opening presents. As I reflect on where I was last year to this year, it makes me realize more and more how our future is not in our hands or in our control. I am so grateful and thankful for putting my trust in God's plan for my life. It was a beautiful for Christmas for me and my families and I hope yours was too.. Peace be with all of you as we close another chapter of our lives and head into 2017."
