Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson’s return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills seems all but certain next year, provided the daytime divas are interested.

The soap opera stars, who were friends before joining the Bravo show, have brought much-needed drama and ratings to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Season 5 isn’t even finished airing yet, but producers are ready to ask the dymanic duo to return for another round next season, according to reports.

“Producers of the show are very, very happy with Lisa and Eileen’s performances in front of the camera,” an insider said. “They balanced each other out."

"Lisa is a bit more aggressive, with a no-frills, take-no-prisoners attitude."

Eileen, by contrast, "is refined, elegant and all class, which made her scenes with Kim Richards even stronger because she did snap a couple of times.”

Indeed, Davidson’s scenes with the original cast member, and of course the Lisa Rinna-Kim Richards fight, proved to be just what the series needed …

“Before the ladies joined the cast, there were serious doubts about whether or not the show would proceed,” an insider revealed to Radar Online.

“It had just reached the point where Bravo was just going to cut it, but everyone is so glad that didn’t happen. Lisa would say yes on the spot if asked today."

“Eileen will think things over, and get the input from her family.”

Sounds about right. On Watch What Happens Live recently, Rinna revealed she had no regrets about joining the show, or trying to throttle Kim Richards.

Davidson is more measured, and she also has more on her plate.

Her schedule might continue to be busy in the next year, as “she is working at Young & The Restless full-time and has a great storyline on the soap opera."

Let’s just hope Brandi Glanville doesn’t ask her to reenact it.

Lisa, meanwhile, "doesn’t have any big work opportunities on the horizon except for [The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills]” so she is almost certainly game.

What do you think? Do you want to see them back next season?
