The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills original cast is reuniting, but not in the way you may think.

Camille Grammer, Adrienne Maloof and Taylor Armstrong, all original cast members of the hit Bravo reality series, have been spotted filming the new season alongside current cast members, but they're not back in a full series-regular capacity, a source told E! News. Several of the ladies were spotted at Kyle Richards' White Party and photos (above) surfaced of Adrienne filming with Brandi Glanville. The two last appeared on screen together as enemies, but that appears to be water under the bridge.

"At the end of the day, neither one of them wanted to keep fighting," a source told E! News. "A lot was said and I think both realized they were each in the wrong. They first saw each other at Kyle's White Party, then decided to meet up a few days later for a sit down. It wasn't so much about becoming best friends or anything. It was just about making peace." 

Lisa Vanderpump announced she'd return for a fifth season of the reality series. Kyle Richards, her sister Kim Richards and Yolanda Foster all attended the NBC Universal Cable Entertainment Upfront in May.

When asked what she's looking forward to this season, Kyle told E! News "mending some relationships and hopefully strengthening others." Last year, Kyle and Lisa were at odds for a large chunk of the episodes.

Kyle, Lisa, Kim, Camille, Taylor and Adrienne made up the original Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast. The franchise is no stranger to cast shakeups—Beverly Hills added Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia for the fourth season, but they're not expected to return for the upcoming fifth—so will there come a time for any of these long-time cast members? Not just yet.

"Obviously it's working because we come back year after year and we've developed some amazing friendships and we're having a good time. So whatever we're doing, it's been working because we keep coming back," Kim said.
