Bravo is looking to fill some holes in the RHOP season 9 cast amid Candiace Dillard and Robyn Dixon's departures from the series. And it seems that casting doesn't have to look too far to fill one of those spots. RHOP friend of [Keiarna Stewart](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/09/29/real-housewives-of-potomac-season-8/) is reportedly set to be upgraded to a full-time cast member for season 9. ***“The viewer reaction has been very positive for Keiarna since being on the show and she is in the box seat to be casted full time next season,”*** a source said per *[The Zone](https://www.instagram.com/therealhousewiveszone/) *on Instagram. ***“It makes sense to upgrade her after Season 8.”*** If you recall, [Keiarna got into an ugly physical altercation with Ashley Darby’s friend Deborah Williams ](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/07/17/rhop-season-8-brawl/)at Zebbie’s Garden in Washington, D.C., in July 2023 while filming season 8. The knockout, drag-out drama played out in the Real Housewives of Potomac season 8 finale. If this news is true, Bravo will still need to fill the Louboutins of two more Potomac Housewives for season 9 as *[TheJasmineBRAND](https://thejasminebrand.com/)* reports that Nneka Ihim has also been let go from the hit Bravo show amid a rumored cast shake-up. ![RHOP season 8 intro photo](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/ISIMG-956734-1200x666.jpg)Real Housewives of Potomac season 8 intro photo [Nneka recently played coy about her future on the Potomac Housewives franchise](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/04/20/rhop-nneka-ihim-plays-coy-exit/) but encouraged fans to follow her on social media and watch that space for forthcoming details.
