Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has also discussed Doherty’s guest appearance in the special tribute to her Beverly Hills 90210 co-star:
“Shannen plays the person who tells us what happened to Fred, she was there and she’s an unexpected source of comfort to Archie. A big piece of what happened to Fred comes to Archie through Shannen’s character. The scene is so heartbreaking because you really feel Shannen’s love for Luke.”
Riverdale season 4 is set to premiere on The CW on October 9th.
