The 9th season of “Southern Charm,” airing now on Bravo, is the first season since the show’s premiere without one of its main stars Kathryn Dennis.

Although Dennis is no longer on the show, she still has a lot of support from her former co-stars, especially her fellow OGs Shep Rose and Craig Conover. During a BravoCon 2023 panel, they spoke about Dennis and revealed that they filmed with her for season 9.

“We love Kathryn, actually,” Conover shared. “Shep and I actually filmed with her this year. I don’t think it was supposed to happen, but we did it and I think they did it as a favor to us because we love her so much.” He said he was hopeful the season would include the footage but it “probably won’t.”

“The point of me telling you that is we would love for her to come back,” he added. “I think the door is always open. I think she’s working on herself and has a lot of work that she has to do before she comes back. But I hope she’s doing well and I know a lot of people here have recently, we’ve been in contact with her.” In fact, he said Austen Kroll “talks to her as much as he can,” like others in the cast.

Conover’s comments came shortly after a car registered in Dennis’ name was involved in a collision at a school. “We love Kathryn,” Conover concluded. “But we just hope that she figures her stuff out.”

Rose also spoke about Dennis’ portrayal during her time on the show. He pointed out that she first appeared on “Southern Charm” when she was just 21 years old. “We’ve all come a long way and we’ve seen the bumps, the bruises and all that stuff,” he told the crowd at BravoCon.

“And unfortunately, you know, Kathryn stumbles sometimes,” he continued. “We do love her ’cause there’s a person right inside her that we know is a good person.”

“She means so well and she wished she was here with all of you more than anything,” he concluded. “And what our goal is for next year that, you know, she comes back and gets to see you guys.”
