Southern Charm Season 10 ended with a sweet kiss between Shep Rose and Molly O’Connell. Their costars were rooting for the duo, who were flirting all season. The veteran Bravolebrity was nursing a broken heart after Sienna Evans all but ignored him during a cast trip to the Bahamas. For her part, the America’s Next Top Model alum was in the middle of a “dry spell” in her love life.
Shep and Molly connected over their love of classical music, with the former visibly enthralled by Molly’s orchestra concert. And with a little romance potentially still active between the pair, they were asked to react to the reunion and tease the drama for viewers.
Southern Charm’s Shep Rose and Molly O’Connell kissed in the finale
The Season 10 reunion airs on Bravo March 27. A detailed look yields the conclusion that Molly and Shep are seated next to each other. Between that clue and comments made by Venita Aspen during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, it seems like the duo are still seeing each other.
As for what will go down at the reunion, Molly exclusively told BravoTV.com that Craig Conover and JT Thomas will have the most to answer for.
“Gosh, I think [Jarrett] JT [Thomas] will probably be in the hot seat today. Craig [Conover] might be as well. Both of them for sure,” Molly said before filming. “And maybe just Salley [Carson] and Taylor [Ann Green].”
Shep was decidedly relieved that he wasn’t the “focal point” at the reunion for a change. But anything can happen. And the Southern Charm original star acknowledged that “I’ve been wrong before.” However, he did agree with Molly that Craig was going to be in the hot seat.
“Oh my god, I’m gonna say this. Before we left, we were in Charleston, I dropped off a book that I want Craig to read. He will never read [it], and then a t-shirt that I wanted to give him. And so he goes, ‘You know what? I don’t think I’m gonna have much to do with the reunion.’ I was like, ‘Oh my God, you really believe that? Are you out of your freaking mind?’ So, he’s in for a rude awakening, but not a rude one, just an awakening,” Shep explained.
Molly was unsure about what to expect at the reunion
Molly is a newcomer to the show. She admitted to being “really nervous” about filming her first Bravo reunion.
“I get nervous for anything that I haven’t done before. I panic. That’s just me as a person, but I am really excited. I’m excited to kind of put my two cents in on everything that happened,” she shared. “I sometimes sit back and let other people who are actually involved in the drama talk, but I have opinions on stuff, so I’m definitely gonna be telling.”
Shep may not be in the hot seat, but he does have reflections from the season to share. Perhaps he has worked through some of his feelings for Sienna, that were inexplicable to his costars at the time of filming.
“I have a few things I want to say. I’ve written them down. I write down everything. I’m a writer, and, I don’t wanna be rehearsed, that’s for sure, but I just want to remind myself of some points I want to make and, I’ve watched the whole season, and it’s good,” he said. “But, I look pretty pathetic towards the end there, but it’s relatable. Everyone’s been there.”
