“The cast and creative team agreed the decades-old love triangle among
Archie, Betty and Veronica should be left in the past. “It would have been very
problematic — when we’re in the middle of this very progressive, feminist
movement where positive changes are happening — to encourage that kind
of relationship on a show that targets young women,”
Mendes says of the
Betty-Veronica rivalry. “It would be very disrespectful.”
