Southern Charm: Craig Conover & Shep Rose Interview

screenrant.com:

Craig Conover and Shep Rose have been the Southern Charm bachelors since season 1, and fans are excited to see them return for season 8. Craig and Shep have had a complicated relationship for years that teetered from brotherly love to wanting to knock each other's lights out. With almost ten years on Craig, Shep often teased the younger Southern Charm castmate relentlessly, which Craig found annoying and sometimes hurtful.

In an attempt to show Craig how much he meant to him, Shep became a father to a French bulldog puppy that he named Little Craig. Southern Charm fans weren't sure if the name was a dig at "Big Craig," but everyone fell in love with the furry canine, including Craig. Southern Charm season 8 opens up with Craig and Shep on the outs since the summer, but the premiere shows the two attempt to talk it out and mend fences.

Viewers will see Craig and Shep not only navigate their relationship with each other in season 8 but with their Southern Charm castmate Austen Kroll as well. Fans will see their highs and lows as the three try to mend the rift in their friendships, with one argument ending with a tussle between Craig and Austen. In an interview with Screen Rant, Craig and Shep open up about how they repaired their friendship over season 8 while also navigating being in serious relationships with their respective girlfriends.

Craig, the premiere opens up with you at your Sewing Down South store. How does it feel to go from hand-making your own pillows in your living room as a hobby to now being a huge retailer?

Craig: It’s an incredible feeling, and I’m so proud of it. There’s so much happiness and positivity around it. It's really fun to share with everyone
