Marysol Patton might not hold a mojito in 's opening credits sequence, but that's OK with her — as long as the check clears!«I'm like, 'Just give me the paycheck!

I brought my own mojito. Give me the check!'» the  OG cracks to ET, Zooming in from her Florida home. Marysol returned to the franchise for its revival on Peacock, but this time as a «friend of» (which was also her status in season 3) — though that moniker doesn't quite mean what it used to.

While «friend of» cast members previously operated mostly as side characters, for lack of a better term, Marysol and Adriana de Moura, her fellow original Housewife and season 4 «friend of,» are very much in the mix, driving story in nearly every episode.«Personally, for me, [the original run] was a very stressful thing to do, to manage my work, make sure my mom had hair and makeup, was on, run my company, go film -- it was just too much for me,» Marysol says of the changes she experienced during the show's eight-year hiatus. «Now, it's like, 'Yay!

I can go film! I have something to do today.'… I have a lot of fun doing it.»Since wrapped its final season on Bravo, Marysol retired from her work in PR, and her beloved mother, breakout star «Mama Elsa» Patton, died at the age of 84 in 2019.
