Betty & Veronica's Tense Friendship To Be Resolved Through Song on 'Riverdale'

Betty and Veronica are going to go back to being friends by the end of tonight’s Riverdale.

In the special musical episode, the two former BFFs, who are currently on the outs, are going to be back together, showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa says.

We took ‘You Shine’, which is traditionally a duet between the good girl and her boyfriend, and in the show we repurposed it to be a song about friendship between Betty and Veronica,” he shared with EW about it.

He adds, “We used that song to heal their estrangement and the tension between them.”

“You Shine” isn’t the only song that the show re-purposed: “We took another song that’s the gym teacher singing and comforting Carrie, and we gave that to Josie and Cheryl and also made it about their friendship and their coming together.”

“We found that the songs were universal, and they could help us tell the story.”

Riverdale‘s special musical episode airs TONIGHT @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
