MOLLY: Shannon Beador, we’re celebrating 20 years of Housewives. Can you believe this?

SHANNON: It’s insane when you think about it because not many television shows have been on for that long. When I started in Season 9, I thought I was starting late in the game. It’s my 12th year, so to me, that’s a long time as well.

MOLLY: It’s so funny because when I think about OC, you’re such an integral part of the history of the show. Your arc has been so expansive and amazing. For you personally, how do you think back to the person who first started the show, and what have you learned over those 12 seasons?
