But I think this has been something thats been a long time coming.

I kind of anticipated it, even in season 2.

Youll definitely see this relationship grow, he teases.

I think fans are going to be excited to see the evolution of this new relationship.

Riverdalefans can be quite vocal about their shipping, sometimestaking things to the extreme.

But Melton says hes not too worried about the wrath of Varchie lovers.

Yes, this ship name is really Veggie.

Just accept it now.

This sensitivity, this vulnerability that we have yet to see.

Reggies support for Veronica will not waver.

But, yes, we can definitely trust Reggie.

Thats good because things are about to get even more intense in Riverdale.

The Serpents are now in Veronicas, and by extension Reggies, employ as protection at her nightclub.

Oh my gosh, wouldnt that be a dream?!

Youre just going to have wait and see.

Youre going to really see a vulnerable side of Reggie, Melton concludes.

I think people are really going to empathize with what hes going through.

Riverdaleairs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
