Everything You Need to Know About Vanderpump Rules’ New Cast Members

This influencer and New Jersey native is on the mend following a rough breakup with his longtime girlfriend, YouTuber Carli Bybel. So he did what any self-respecting guy would do and he got himself a whole new life as the newest SURver on the team. Is there really any better way to begin mending a broken heart? We think not.

Apparently, Brett’s fellow castmates want to help mend his heart too. Not only has Brett caught the eye of one Scheana Shay (suuuuure she only wants something platonic), but this season he’s also tangled in a love triangle of sorts with fellow newbs Max Boyens and Danya Kathan. With so many options he and his vegan heart are bound to recover in no time… right?

As the newest waitress-in-training at SUR, Dayna is basically thrown into the drama — especially when she begins to hear all of the downsides to her new love interest, Max Boyens. We have a feeling this girl knows how to put things in perspective though (she's an aspiring stand-up comedian, after all), and we love how her particular brand of humour translates on the show. Meanwhile, it’s not like she’s out of options… not when she and her close friend Brett Caprioni are sparking like mad.

Charming, personable, and completely ingrained with the Vanderpump crew, Max has worked hard to gain reputation and trust as TomTom’s general manager. Obviously he’s buddies with Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval, but he’s also among Lisa Vanderpump’s most trusted circle of employees. And as we all know, it isn’t exactly easy to get to that level.

As of recent, his reputation has been in jeopardy. Racist tweets have surfaced online and rumour has it he'll be fired from SUR.

Part of Max’s success is due to the fact that he’s always managed to separate business from pleasure. But when new SUR employee Dayna Kathan hit the scene, all bets were off. Obviously it doesn’t take long for Max to break his most sacred dating rule of all, but even he couldn’t have foreseen just how much gossip and rumours his relationship with Dayna would generate.

Over at SUR, Danica also counts herself among Lisa’s most trusted employees as the youngest assistant manager in the restaurant’s history. Unlike Max she finds it a bit harder to separate work from her love life, especially since all of her friends and ex-boyfriends are among her co-workers. However, she’s also the only who believes Max isn’t who he seems to be, which ultimate puts the two managers in a bit of a rough patch this season. We. Can’t. Wait.

We all know James Kennedy had a rough season last year — a season that culminated in his ultimate firing from SUR. Yet through it all he’s had one consistent: his girlfriend Raquel. This year though, we’re going to see a whole new side of the SUR employee — one who finally manages to stick up for herself when it comes to what she wants (and deserves!) and who is done putting up with James’ verbal abuse once and for all.

We’ve always wanted to see Stassi Schroeder land a good guy, and it seems like our reality TV prayers were finally answered when Stassi “dick-punched” Beau’s heart a couple of years back. This season Beau has an even bigger presence on the show now that he and Stassi are engaged, and we get to see how it all plays out.

If you thought this would be a romantic, drama-free affair though, you don’t know Vanderpump. As Beau tries to pull off the big ask without losing Stassi’s trust, get ready for a whirlwind of rumours, secret engagement plans, and lots of in-fighting. So, you know, everything we love about this show.

The SUR waitress also spends plenty of time working in Hollywood as a bottle service girl, but she fits in easily with the rest of the cast — especially Scheana Shay. The OG cast-member took an immediate liking to Charli, even calling her a “mini-me.” We totally see it, especially when you compare the fast friends’ quirky personalities and classic good looks.

Here’s the thing though: everyone knows that even sisters-from-another-mister come with drama, especially when they’re so alike. That means no one should be shocked when new SURver Brett Caprioni catches the attention of both women, causing a bit of a jealous riff. At this point are there any single ladies not vying for Brett’s attention? The guy may be one of the most charismatic personalities we’ve ever had on the show, and we’re totally here for it.
