Cheryl Blossom Will Be 'Pushed Into Places She Hasn't Been Before' In Upcoming 'Riverdale' Episodes

Cheryl Blossom’s storyline on Riverdale has been a little lackluster in season two, don’t you think? Good thing that’s all going to change soon.

“Cheryl’s been a little bit on the back burner,” showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa told to reporters this week about the scene stealing character. “Partly because the story shifted from the Jason Blossom murder to the Black Hood and things like that.”

The character, played by Madelaine Petsch, was pushed to the side for the Black Hood storyline in the first half of the season.

“I can tell you that starting from next episode on — I think and she thinks from what she’s told me — is gangbusters through the end of the season in a really really great way,” he added. “She’s pushed into places she hasn’t been before.”

And what about her crush on Josie McCoy? That’s coming back too.

“We’re absolutely going to address the crush or obsession or however you want to describe it for Josie absolutely directly,” he said. “We’ve pinned it at that she’s going to start a relationship that is very much going to happen.”

Riverdale airs Wednesdays on The CW.
