Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard Return for Summer House Season 9

Just weeks after the explosive end of Summer House Season 8, which showcased the deteriorating relationship between Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard, it’s been revealed that the exes will both be back for Season 9.

Background Information

Production on Season 9 is set to kick off over the 4th of July holiday weekend in Water Mill, New York. Variety has confirmed that both Radke, 39, and Hubbard, 37, will be returning. Both Radke and Hubbard are two of only three cast members to be main cast members for all nine seasons, along with Kyle Cooke. Their failed engagement has not stopped that streak from continuing.

The couple first started dating in early 2022, with Radke proposing on camera during the show’s seventh season later that year. They were set to tie the knot in Mexico this past November, but it was reported extensively last August that the pair had split, and that the breakup was filmed during the production of Season 8.

Main Event or Topic

The couple’s constant bickering was caught on camera, with Hubbard even questioning whether Radke was sober anymore after he quit drinking in 2021. Carl called out Lindsay’s demeaning remarks towards him, adding that he thought she was ‘rooting’ for him to relapse and fall off the wagon.

Hubbard opened up about the relationship in a late May interview where she said she felt like she dodged a “massive bullet.” “I really truly feel thankful that the universe, or God, or whatever higher being you believe in, stepped in and saved me from a really long, hard, rough life ahead. And because of that, I learned a lot from a very traumatic experience, and I feel like I learned a lot about what I’m not going to do in my future, especially in my romantic life,” she said.

She even admitted that she wasn’t ‘nervous’ about filming with Carl, adding, “It’s almost a year ago that we broke up, and I did a lot of healing. I’m still healing in different ways, of course, but I’m just so happy to not be in that.” She added she would be on Summer House “until I was 100,” adding, “Despite all of the challenges that my ex and I had last summer, it was really, truly a fun summer.”

Reactions and Impact

Radke admitted in a late May interview that he was “not proud of how I was handling the situation and how I was treating her.” “I mean, I was clearly frustrated and, you know, so I wish I had really been more direct,” he added.

Radke continued that during that exchange, viewers “can clearly see [him] struggling to communicate [his] feelings.” He said the fault falls on him even though viewers watched him point the finger at his ex-fiancée when they argued during Season 8 episodes. “That’s not on her,” he said ahead of the reunion. “That’s on me. I’m seeing myself blame and play victim, and I don’t want to be either.”

During Season 8 episodes, viewers watched as a rift grew in their relationship before they announced they had called off their engagement in August 2023 — just two and a half months before their wedding.

Expert Opinions

Relationship experts have weighed in on the couple’s dynamic, suggesting that their public breakup and subsequent return to the show could serve as a cautionary tale for others. “It’s clear that both Carl and Lindsay have unresolved issues that need to be addressed,” says a renowned relationship therapist. “Their decision to return to the show could either be a path to closure or further complicate their emotional well-being.”

Industry insiders believe that their return will undoubtedly boost the show’s ratings. “Fans are invested in their story, and their return will keep viewers hooked,” says a TV critic. “However, it will be interesting to see how their dynamic evolves in the new season.”

Summary and Future Implications

As Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard prepare to return for Summer House Season 9, fans are eager to see how their relationship will unfold. While their past has been tumultuous, both have expressed a desire to move forward and heal. The new season promises to be filled with drama, emotional moments, and perhaps a path to closure for the ex-couple.
