As this series of TOWIE wrapped up we managed to experience some drama, patch ups and the return of an ex.
Lockie and Danielle finally decided to work on their relationship and make things right, as Lockie carried out his grand gesture of re-enacting the pretty woman scene and bringing Danielle a bunch of roses in a pink limo. At the Prince and Princess party he also told her of his plan to whisk her away to Morocco, and she agreed to go as long as they take things slow on getting back to how they were. It was nice to see that their relationship had not ended and that they were willing to make things right.
From a romantic make-up came the awkward ending to Dan and Jasmine’s dating saga. He told Georgia that he didn’t see Jaz as his girlfriend in the long run, and of course in typical Essex fashion Georgia disclosed this information to Jaz at the party. Jaz then confronted Dan and told him that they were no longer friends as he had simply been playing with her feelings instead of being honest. She also could not understand why she is not seen as girlfriend material, which is quite funny.
We saw the tension between Fran and Ferne turn into a cat-fight as they argued over absolutely nothing and accused one another of being standoffish when they first met. As they screamed and swore at one another Diags found it appropriate to tell Ferne to F*** off as he didn’t like anyone screaming at his girlfriend, Ferne then ran off in tears but is later seen busting her moves on the dance floor; clearly unaffected by the row. However the row did make Diags tell Fran that he loved her but I wonder how long this relationship will last.
Bobby and Charlie attempted to make things right between Chloe and Lauren, however this did not work out and things became a lot more awkward between them. Chloe was later seen cosying up to Mario, on the dance floor, at the party so I guess they’re still together.
Lewis Bloor and Grace shared their first on screen kiss at the TOWIE party as he tells her he is completely single.
However the most shocking pieces of news that brought the series finale to an end was Sam admitting that she was leaving TOWIE to focus on her health, work and relationship with Joey Essex; she will truly be missed. And the return of Arg’s ex Lydia Bright, which made Arg extremely jumpy and brought Gemma to tears seeing the affect Lydia had on him.
As TOWIE comes to an end the gang will be missed but I am now excited to watch the classy gang in Chelsea, with Made In Chelsea starting on Monday 😀
Tamra Barney – Tamra joined the show in series three and quickly became friends with Vicky. She allowed the cameras to come into her life and see the breakdown of her marriage with ex husband Simon, her wild side came out, She started a business called Wines by Wives with Vicky and her love affair with Eddie Judge has also been shown from the beginning. We also saw her amazing holiday to Boro Boro with Eddie, where he proposed to her, and in the latest series we are watching her plan her wedding. 
Gretchen Rossi – Gretchen came on in series four and was instantly disliked by Vicky and Tamra. She was the centre of many controversies such as the ‘naked wasted’ dinner, her questionable relationship with the late, much older Jeff, her now long term relationship with Slade Smiley since the passing of Jeff (Slade also dated former RHOC Jo), her new found friendship with Tamra, and the friendship with Alexis Bellino; which has become non-existent in the past two series. 
Alexis Bellino – Devout, wife, mother and Christian Alexis has always stood by her man Jim throughout the show. She joined in series five and tried her hand at various jobs such as; a news correspondent, running her own dress line which is still on going, acting and now supports her husbands burgeoning trampoline park empire. Alexis has gone through a tough time with the ladies and has fought with almost everyone. However in the latest series she has managed to make amends with everyone, apart from Gretchen, and seems to be a lot more happier on the show. 
Heather Dubrow – Heather came on the show in series seven and has oozed class and elegance throughout. Wife of plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow, Heather is leading an eccentric lifestyle along with her four children. The Dubrow’s have a huge house in OC and are well known and liked amongst all the wives and the men of the show. Heather is also an actress, who has restarted her profession in the latest series; showing that a woman can have it all. 
Lauri Peterson – Lauri was part of the show in series one as she was working for Vicky. From being a single mum to having her fairy tale wedding with her prince charming George Peterson, Lauri is now living the dream of an affluent housewife along with an army of children. Lauri has started to reappear on the show in the latest series and has brought along with her lots of drama and grudges. She has revealed secrets about Vicky to Gretchen that were years old and has even held a grudge with Vicky for seven years. She is bringing about lots of entertainment by stirring things up but I’m just not sure how exciting her story-line will be once she’s got her revenge. 
Lynne Curtin – Lynne was part of the cast in series five and displayed her ditsy side to the world, as well as her oh too relaxed parenting style with her two daughters. Lynne is mainly remembered for her and her husband Frank’s explosive house eviction episode, in which one of their daughters had to retrieve the notice, Lynne came to realise that Frank had been hiding their financial problems from the family. I think a lot of the public felt sorry for Lynne, seeing the situation she was in and how distraught she was to have to find out about it last minute. 
Peggy Tanous – The leggy blonde Peggy was part of series six of the RHOC. Former model and stay at home mum, Peggy was a new-age woman and wealthy party girl. Peggy was a good friend of Alexis’ but that friendship turned sour when it was revealed on the show that Peggy had previously dated Alexis’ husband Jim. Although Peggy was now happily married Alexis was not willing to believe that Peggy even dated Jim and the friendship went down like a plane crash. 
Lydia McLaughlin- Lydia joined the cast in series eight, the most recent one. Lydia is married with two sons, and came on as a friend of Alexis. Just as Alexis is, Lydia is also a practicing christian. She owns a range of businesses and also runs a lifestyle magazine with her husband. So far on the show Lydia has been a little low key and quiet, trying to keep out of the drama and instead becoming a peacemaker between Alexis and Heather and Alexis and Tamra. She has had a small run in with Gretchen and her boyfriend Slade, but has since cleared that up.
