The Real Housewives of Atlanta had Phaedra Parks After Kenya Moore’s dramatic departure, the series is back in theaters for season 16. Porsha Williams also has her beauty back. After a period of uncertainty, it seems as if Frick and Frack can save “The A”.

RHOA fans have been hoping for a while now that the show will return to the fun, excitement, and chaotic storylines it did in its heyday. Phaedra seems to be hoping for the same outcome, and has an opinion on another ATL alumnus who would make a great return… Kim Zolciak.

Phaedra Parks says: “I think everyone would be happy about Kim’s return”

First off, is “everyone” in the room with us? Kim has been busy lately. She’s been filming “The Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets,” which is currently airing. And she and Kroy Biermann are in the middle of a nasty divorce, financially ruined, and on the verge of foreclosure. However, when PEOPLE recently asked Phaedra which RHOA alumnus she would like to see again, Kim was her answer.

“If Kim Zolciak comes back, I think that would be very interesting. Kim is TV gold. She’s always been TV gold,” Phaedra said.

She continued, “She has a lot going on at the moment. Who would have thought that Kim, who raised two daughters, would now have a whole little basketball team of kids!”

Phaedra, who has also been busy with appearances on The Traitors and Married to Medicine, believes Kim’s return would be an unexpected twist. “I think everyone would be happy to see Kim back. She’s fun. I think it would add an element that the girls don’t expect.” Um…

However, Phaedra also shared that the ladies of season 16 have already delivered what longtime ATL fans have been longing for.

In addition, “we were the No. 1 franchise of Housewives and I’ve helped make this franchise a successful franchise. And I’d like to bring the franchise back to its glory days.”

Phaedra concluded, “All I can say is it’s going to be a fantastic season. I mean, it’s definitely going to be reminiscent of the Housewives that you originally loved.”

Kim has hinted at the idea before, saying she would “seriously consider” a RHOA return. So, never say never! She could really use that check, too.

The premiere of the 16th season of Real Housewives of Atlanta is scheduled for 2025.
