Ariana Madix has had a whirlwind of success in the last two years since Scandoval, and her successful appearance in Ariana played a more dramatic version of herself, this role still offers her a creative outlet since she is playing someone she's not in real life.
During an interview with ScreentRant, Jake spoke about Ariana's guest spot on the show. He discussed how much he enjoyed having her on set and that he would love to see her make a return. Despite her busy schedule, Ariana might make an exception for Will Trent season 4.
ScreenRant: Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix guest-starred this season, and there were sparks between her and Ormewood. Is that something that you would like to see come back down the line?
Jake McLaughlin: I would love to have Ariana back on the show. She and I got along really well. She was a lot of fun and goofy just like me. So yeah, I could totally see that being the case. I was surprised. I was pleasantly surprised. She was just an absolute trooper. I'm down for whatever. I'm pretty chill. So if they brought her back, that'd be a lot of fun.

What this means is it opens the door for Ariana's character to return. Since Ormewood doesn't have any main love interest in Will Trent, this opens the door for Ariana to return for season 4 for one more fling. McLaughlin is clearly open to the idea, so a return from Ariana could definitely happen.

Ariana's Character Won't Affect The Storyline's In Season 4
Ariana's character will likely not change or add anything of significance to the storylines in Will Trent season 4. While Ariana's character did have somewhat of an impact on Ormewood, season 4 will likely focus more on what will happen following his collapse in the season 3 finale. While Ariana did have quite an impact on fan reception after her appearance, it likely won't change the course of where Will Trent season 4 will go.
