Paige DeSorbo is booked and busy after her Summer House exit — starting with a surprise guest spot alongside Hannah Berner on the latest season of Ginny & Georgia.
The Netflix series, which returned with new episodes on Thursday, June 5, picked up after Georgia (Brianne Howey) was arrested for murdering Cynthia’s (Sabrina Grdevich) husband, Tom (Vincent Legault). The high-profile trial resulted in Georgia’s past resurfacing for the public to speculate on — including two more deaths she may or may not have been connected to.
DeSorbo and Berner, meanwhile, made an appearance when Max (Sara Waisglass) was listening to a true crime podcast about Georgia a.k.a the Mayoress Murderess. Both DeSorbo and Berner praised Georgia for being their new favorite murderer while speculating whether she was responsible for at least three mysterious deaths.
The cameo came the same day that DeSorbo confirmed her departure from Summer House.
“I have a little life update for you: I’ve made the decision not to return to Summer House,” DeSorbo shared via her Instagram Stories on Thursday. “Being a part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable.”
She continued, “You’ve seen me grow up over these last seven summers. I’ll always be beyond grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close.”
DeSorbo used the announcement to issue a thank you to her fans, castmates and Bravo, adding, “Thank you. I never could’ve imagined what this journey would turn into — and how many of you would be along for the ride. And you haven’t seen the last of me, I promise. So much more to do together, but for now you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed.”
DeSorbo made her Summer House debut during season 3, which premiered in 2019. She has now evolved into hosting “Giggly Squad” alongside Berner, who was on Summer House from seasons 3 to 5. DeSorbo and Berner also published the How to Giggle: A Guide to Taking Life Less Seriously book and the fashion icon announced a sleepwear brand earlier this month.
“Reality TV, I wasn’t trying to be on it. I’m not trying to be off it or on it,” DeSorbo exclusively told Us Weekly in May. “I think when it fits in your life, it fits in your life. I’ve been really thankful for Summer House because filming is so different than other people’s. We really get away with a lot; it’s just weekends.”
Ginny & Georgia is streaming on Netflix.
