>>> AND WELCOME BACK, FOR THREE SEASONS, THE SERIES "RIVERDALE"
HAS SHOWN VIEWERS A DARK
REIMAGINING OF THE ARCHIE COMIC
SCRIPT.
SCRIPT. >> WE ARE JOINED BY MOLLY
RINGWALD, MARK CONSUELOS, AND
MARISOL NICHOLS.
MARISOL NICHOLS. >> GOOD MORNING TO ALL OF YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> TOMORROW IS THE SEASON
PREMIER, BUT MOLLY THIS EPISODE
IS A DEPARTURE FROM THE USUAL
TWIST AND TURNS, RIGHT.
>> YES.
>> YES. WELL, AS WE KNOW, WE LOST OUR
FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE, LUKE PERRY
AT THE END OF LAST SEASON, SO
THIS SEASON IS REALLY, WE DEAL
WITH HIS DEATH IN THE SHOW.
SO FRED ANDREWS DIES AS WELL,
AND WE HAVE TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO
HIM.
HIM. SO THAT’S THE BEGINNING OF THE
SEASON.
SEASON. IT’S A VERY, I THINK VERY MOVING
TRIBUTE TO OUR FRIEND.
>> WE ACTUALLY HAVE A CLIP FROM
THE EPISODE.
THE EPISODE. IT’S THE MOMENTS THE KIDS ON THE
SHOW HEAR THE NEWS.
>> WE’RE LISTENING.
POSSIBLY BE OUR LAST SUMMER TO
DO THIS BECAUSE NEXT YEAR WE’LL
BE GETTING READY TO GO TO
COLLEGE.
COLLEGE. >> IF ANYONE IS SCARED OF BEARS,
DON’T BE BECAUSE ARCHIE HAS BEEN
ATTACKED LIKE, WHAT, MULTIPLE
TIMES AND STILL SURVIVED.
>> I WEAR MY SCARS PROUDLY.
>> HEY, DAD.
>> ARCHIE.
>> ARCHIE. >> THAT’S POWERFUL.
>> I MEAN, IT’S POWERFUL
WATCHING IT ON THE SHOW.
BUT I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT IT
WAS LIKE FOR YOU GUYS DOING THE
READ THROUGH, AND ACTUALLY
HAVING TO RELIVE THE GRIEF THAT
YOU FELT AT THE TIME.
WHAT WAS THAT EVEN LIKE?
>> SURREAL.
>> SURREAL. >> PRETTY BRUTAL.
>> I DON’T THINK ANYONE GOT
THROUGH IT WITH A DRY EYE AT
ALL.
ALL. >> IT WAS REALLY HARD TO FILM,
TO GO BACK, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A
LONG SEASON OF SHOOTING, AND IT
WAS HARD TO DIVE INTO FOR SURE
TO DREDGE ALL THAT UP.
>> SO CLOSE TO LUKE, THEY HAD
THAT FATHER/SON RELATIONSHIP,
AND I HAVEN’T SEEN THE EPISODE,
BUT I HAVE HEARD HIS WORDS, IT’S
JUST BEAUTIFUL ON THIS EPISODE.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK IS SO
IMPORTANT IS THERE’S SO MANY
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WATCH THIS
SHOW, AND SO MANY OF US WHO
LOVED HIM.
LOVED HIM. THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING
TO DEAL WITH IT ON THEIR OWN,
AND FOR SOME WAY, BY PUTTING IT
IN THE STORY LINE, DO YOU AGREE
IT ALMOST HELPS THEM TO PROCESS
IT AS WELL.
>> I THINK SO TOO.
THERE’S A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE
THAT WATCH THE SHOW, AND I THINK
IT’S VERY CATHARTIC AND HEALING
FOR THEM TO SEE THESE CHARACTERS
THAT THEY LOVE DEALING WITH
GRIEF.
GRIEF. AND GOING ON.
YOU KNOW, WITH THEIR LIVES.
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE SEASON
GOES ON, RIVERDALE IS STILL
RIVERDALE, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE
MISS OUR FRIEND, AND KJ MISSES
LUKE.
LUKE. WE ALL MISS HIM.
>> MARISOL, WHAT ELSE CAN FOLKS
EXPECT THROUGHOUT THE SEASON?
>> I THINK MORE TOWARDS THE
CHARACTERS THAT WE LOVE, WE’RE
GOING TO FOCUS MORE AND SEE
THEIR PERSONAL LIVES A LITTLE
BIT MORE, INTERACTING A LITTLE
BIT MORE.
BIT MORE. OF COURSE WE HAVE THE MYSTERY
BECAUSE IT’S RIVERDALE.
WE GET OUT OF PRISON.
>> THAT’S KIND OF WHERE WE
STARTED.
STARTED. >> OKAY.
>> OKAY. I’M THE LAWYER FOR IT.
>> IT WAS NICE.
THE WARDROBE WAS EASY TO PUT ON.
>> THAT’S WHAT’S SO AMAZING.
IF YOU THINK THIS IS YOUR
PARENTS ARCHIE, IT IS SO NOT.
WE THOUGHT YOU WERE AN FBI
INFORMANT, FOR GOSH SAKE.
>> ALICE EVENTUALLY GOT
REDEMPTION AND YOU REALIZE THAT
SHE WAS AN INFORMANT THE WHOLE
TIME AS SHE’S TRYING TO TAKE
DOWN THIS COLD, SO SHE GETS AN
AMAZING REVENGE IN EPISODE
THREE.
THREE. >> THAT’S A GOOD ONE.
>> IT IS A GOOD ONE.
>> DO WE HAVE TIME FOR THIS
QUIZ, I THINK WE DO.
>> WE’RE PLAYING A GAME.
>> FINALLY YOU GUYS ALL HAVE A
LOT IN COMMON SO THAT’S WHERE
THE QUIZ STARTS.

WILD COINCIDENCES AMONG YOU
