OMG! This Actress Almost Played Betty on ‘Riverdale’

As far as we’re concerned Riverdale’s Betty is Lili Reinhart and Lili Reinhart is Riverdale’s Betty. But, she almost wasn’t and we’re shook.

According to Madelaine Petsch — aka Cheryl Blossom! — she almost played Betty.

“I initially auditioned for Legends of Tomorrow, and I then got called in the same day for a producer session for that guest [role],” Petsch said in a Q&A video on her YouTube channel. “From there, I came in three days later for producers for Betty.”

Petsch explained that producers then realized she’d be a better fit for the role of Cheryl -- and of course those one liners and zingers. 

Riverdale season 2 premieres on October 11 on The CW.
