Aesha Scott was also spotted in her uniform, accompanied by a cameraman in the background. Her role is a little bit unclear, but chances are she could be the chief stew if she's indeed part of the Below Deck Med crew.
Who will return in Season 9 of 'Below Deck Med'?
As for the Season 9 cast, it's a bit of a guessing game for now, but rumors are circulating on social media. There's talk that Natalya and Kyle are officially back to being friends. Wow, we can already hear the dramatic music playing in the background — will they or won't they make a comeback?
On Nov. 28, 2023, Kyle took to Instagram and shared how he and Natalya repaired their friendship.
"It has been a year in the making[,] but time heals most wounds however, we're just glad to [be] back as friends again," he wrote. "We both realized we were going through the thick of it at the time the season started a year ago, especially within our personal lives, but were so glad that we have each other to rely on, now more than ever."
Now, we could keep diving into the Season 9 cast mystery like a determined snorkeler. However, we'll gracefully bow out here. The one certainty in this sea of uncertainties? The legendary Captain Sandy Yawn is more than ready to steer the ship for another year (even if it means sailing through petty drama and unexpected plot twists).
