Cast and Overview of The Real Housewives of Melbourne Season 3

All seven housewives from season 2 – Jackie Gillies, Chyka Keebaugh, Gina Liano, Janet Roach, Lydia Schiavello, Gamble Breaux, and Pettifleur Berenger – all returned in The Real Housewives of Melbourne season 3. One new cast member was also added to the list.

While Pettifleur and Lydia returned for the third season, it was revealed after the conclusion of the third season by Janet and Chyka that the two weren’t initially set to return to the series. Also, Janet and Gamble revealed that Manuela Pless-Bennet, a recurring cast member, will not be returning.

Susie McLean, a new wife, made her debut in the third season. She is a Toorak resident and a native of the country who is described as strong and kind. She had known Lydia for thirty years, Chyka for twenty years, and Gina for ten years when she joined the series.

Susie was raised in a country town where she learned traditional values and manners and developed a close relationship with her large Italian family. She wanted to start her own finishing school because of the values she had been taught. She is a divorced single mother of two boys, Monty, 19, and Rupert, 17.

Susie is embracing her new status as a single woman after two unsuccessful marriages, including one to Rod Butterss, which received considerable media attention. She dedicates her time to serving as the branch’s president of the Country Women’s Association in Toorak.

She devotes her free time to her love of baking and sports, which include running, golf, skiing, boxing, horseback riding, wakeboarding, and classical ballet, in addition to raising her teenage boys and the Country Women’s Association.
