Riverdale celebrated its 100th episode a few months ago which is really incredible especially since long-running series are becoming less common. I imagine being on an all-consuming series would be both extremely difficult in not being able to pursue other things as much and extremely rewarding as you are very close friends with a lot of the cast. Have you had time to reflect on the past 5 years or so working on the show?

It’s crazy to think we have shot over 100 episodes. I know I’ll never be part of something like this again, so it feels very special. Fans will tag me in pictures all the time from all throughout the seasons and I am reminded of how long I’ve played Betty…how many different shades of her I’ve been able to explore. I will be really sad to say goodbye to her. I have a lot of love for each character that I play, but I doubt I’ll ever play a character for as long as I have Betty. So, she’s special to me. This show has been with me through almost my entire adult life, that’s a little mind blowing. As grateful as I am for what Riverdale has given me, I’m excited to explore what my life will look like after the show ends. I think the concept of a 22-episode season is going out of style. I know binge-culture is huge and people love having endless episodes to stream, but it’s incredibly hard on the cast and crew. Like I said before, it’s hard to have a life outside of work. It’s easy to lose touch with all other aspects of your life when most of it is centered around your job.
