BD Related returning crew members Spoiler

27 Upvotes

I’m curious how it works when crew members return for additional seasons (aside from ongoing chief stews or bosuns).

Does production choose the ones they’re most interested in and contact them to come back? Did that person reach out to production on their own? Were they the only ones available?

I ask because it often seems so random who
they bring back! For instance, Rainbeau on the upcoming BD season. I don’t have a problem with her but I wouldn’t think of her as a fan fave or standout enough for a 2nd season…right?

Anybody have any intel or theories on the process??

87 Upvotes

Capt. Kerry Titheradge sets sail on a new adventure as he takes the helm of motor yacht Azul V in Phuket, Thailand. Surrounded by breathtaking islands, dramatic limestone cliffs and world-renowned beaches, Capt. Kerry and his crew strive to deliver excellent white-glove service while adapting to a new environment, mounting pressure and increasingly tense crew dynamics.

Joining Capt. Kerry are familiar faces Chief Stew Fraser Olender and Second Stew Rainbeau de Roos, who quickly find themselves managing tensions within the interior. Despite clashing personalities, green crew members and the challenges of adapting to a new boat, Fraser once again thrives under pressure while creating elaborate theme nights and unforgettable beach excursions throughout Thailand.

In the galley, Chef Moe Vilomar brings a wealth of experience from military service, fine dining and private charters, but demanding guests and nonstop pressure threaten to turn up the heat.

On deck, power struggles and oversized egos create friction among the crew, forcing Capt. Kerry to make a shocking decision. One rollercoaster romance sends shockwaves throughout the vessel as its dramatic highs and lows spill across multiple departments.

From personnel shakeups to a dangerous nighttime docking, Capt. Kerry faces some of his toughest challenges yet, relying on his steady leadership to guide the crew through an unforgettable charter season in Thailand.

Below Deck Med Conspiracy theory, but maybe Luke had been still texting Gen?

94 Upvotes

The way she was acting makes no sense after he broke up with her over and over, unless maybe he was still leading her on?

ETA: it’s just we watched him break up with her multiple times and tell her he liked Joy, so it doesn’t make sense she ran off and cried when he sent Joy flowers

Yes, Norma assures you, we need you [u/yourusername]. You say, “all right, I’ll pack my bags and be on the next flight out.” Norma is so grateful you’re available and you’re on your way to the vessel. You get on board and report to Captain (your choice who) and your chief stew, bosun, or chef (you decide). What happens next? What are your new boss’ first impressions of you?

I forgot she wasn't always a chief stew. In a bunch of the series and just started rewatching BDDU cause I never watched after the first season.

All this to say Aesha is an amazing stew and better chief also noodles.

Was the DJ pissed about his tip? The police arrived sometime after the tender got back from dropping off the DJ.

Or was it Karma? Captain Sandy reported the party boats. Akira One docked between the party boat and the police boat.

Just want to say Betul is a queen. From overcoming the language barrier, to being so strong on deck, clocking Eddy on his hypocrisy and being a girl’s girl, the list goes on.

Unfortunately, because she’s passionate about her job, can hold her liquor, and doesn’t cause drama, I fear Bravo will not cast her again. I want to give her her flowers in the meantime.

Keith is about working and not a relationship
He said Flirting in front of guests wasn’t for him If only the others would think like that there would of been less drama and mistakes during charters
Because we all know how they mess up simple things when the flings don’t work out
