'Riverdale' Season 2: A New Character Could Break Betty & Jughead Apart
Jughead's (Cole Sprouse) move to the Southside will prove to be a major challenge for Betty (Lili Reinhart) in "Riverdale" Season 2. The next installment of the teen drama on The CW will introduce Toni Topaz, a new character who might break #Bughead apart.
Betty has not even enjoyed her new relationship with Jughead, but another woman has already threatened to take her man away from her. "Riverdale" Season 2 just cast Vanessa Morgan as Toni Topaz and, according to the actor, she will cause some major drama for the new couple.
"She's a gang member for the Southside Serpents, she's one of Jughead's first friends from Southside, and she might cause a little bit of trouble for Bughead," Morgan told Elite Daily at the VMA's red carpet last weekend. "[B]ut she's super interesting, she's super fun, and I think she's gonna bring some excitement for the Bughead fans."
It seems like only yesterday that Jughead finally confessed his feelings to Betty. However, just when they were about to take their relationship to the next level, Jughead's new life at the rivaling Southside interrupted them. The last time that viewers saw Sprouse's character, he seemingly joined the Southside Serpents.
Fans are hoping that Jughead's move to the Southside would not cause Bughead to break up in "Riverdale" Season 2. That is why, as early as now, many are already unhappy by Mogan's entry into the teen drama.
The actor shared to Glamour that she has received death threats from some fans of Jughead and Betty. She does not seem fazed by the hate mail, however.
"But the thing is, it's half death threats because they don't want that [actually] happening, and there's half that's just all love," she pointed out. "Who knows if [my character coming between Bughead] is even going to happen."
Whether Toni will be able to tear Bughead apart fans will have to wait and see. "Riverdale" Season 2 will premiere on Oct. 11 on The CW.
