Vanessa Morgan Previews Toni Topaz's Debut on 'Riverdale' Tonight

Vanessa Morgan is making her debut as Toni Topaz on tonight’s all-new Riverdale — and we are majorly excited to meet her!

The actress opened up in a new interview about who Toni is, beyond the potential love triangle with Betty and Jughead.

“Toni is super artistic. She’s into photography,” Vanessa shares. “She’s a bit of an outcast herself, and I think Jughead feels the same with not fitting in completely. So I think they’re drawn to each other because of [that contrast] between the haves and have-nots, and because they both [have ties to the] Serpents.”

Vanessa also explains that Toni is “a boss” in the Serpents gang.

“I will say that you will see a lot of Southside this season, and there are going to be a lot of fights and other things going down,” she says. “Toni is kind of a boss. She hangs out with all of these tough guys all the time � In my head, she’s kind of the brains. She has a lot of respect within her friend group.”

Riverdale airs TONIGHT @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
