Southern Charm season 12 is upon us, and as a new cast member joins the mix, Taylor Ann Green is returning for a potential reconciliation with ex-boyfriend Shep Rose.
As the possibility of an unnamed cast member’s secret love child is discussed, Austen Kroll, 39, gets cozy with Molly O’Connell, 38, which sparks a big reaction from Salley Carson, 31, Whitner Slagsvol pursues both newbie Allie Newman and Venita Aspen, 32, and Craig Conover, 37, butts heads with Madison LeCroy, 35.
“There’s an elephant in the room, which we kind of need to address. The assumption is that one of you has a love child,” Whitney Sudler-Smith, 58, declares in the sneak peek.
“Is there a picture or not?!” Madison replies as Allie presents a photo.
“Wow, that’s a beautiful baby,” Madison responds.
Also joining the cast is Taylor, 31, who returns for the first time since season 10.
“I get a text, and it says, ‘This is Taylor Ann,'” Shep shares before the two of them meet up.
“Hi, stranger,” Taylor tells him.
Meanwhile, Craig questions their potential rekindling.
“I go, ‘Shep, this is delusional,'” Craig recalls. “‘You just told me you might marry Taylor, but you said you want to f*ck every girl.’ I think he’s a lost f*cking soul.”
Austen is also concerned about Shep’s behavior and tells him, “You’re just f*cked up, Shep.”
While not much is known about Allie, it is revealed in the trailer that she used to date Austen.
“I know that you went on dates with her, but you kept it a secret,” Salley tells Austen as Whitner Slagsvol, 36, asks her out.
Although Whitner quickly takes an interest in Allie, he also seems to be pursuing Venita, sending her a shirtless photo of himself before they seemingly enjoy a pottery date.
“So who does Whitner like?” Allie asks before they are seen arguing.
“You pretend to be such a nice guy, but you will f*ck somebody over that you made trust you,” she tells him.
There also seems to be a love connection happening between Austen and Molly as Austen confirms that he went home with her after a night out, and Salley promptly breaks down.
“The fact that you went home with Austen is f*cking crazy,” Salley tells Molly.
“Ya’ll are not dating!” Molly fires back.
Salley also goes to bat with Austen, who tells her his love life is not her business.
“You and I, cut it the f*ck off,” he demands.
Salley even feuds with Venita, telling her, “You get in everyone’s sh*t,” as Venita accuses her of “projecting.”
Elsewhere, Craig goes to war with Madison, pointing at her as she warns, “Get that finger out of my face.”
Southern Charm season 12 premieres on Thursday, November 12, at 9/8c on Bravo.
