Ashleigh Murray Says Luke Perry's 'Riverdale' Tribute 'Was Not Easy'

Ashleigh Murray is speaking out about Luke Perry‘s upcoming tribute on Riverdale.

The Riverdale and Katy Keene actress, who plays Josie McCoy on both series, spoke to Access about the season four premiere.

“It’s very touching,” she shared. “It is going to be emotional for a lot of viewers … especially anyone that had the pleasure of meeting Luke, even if it was just for a moment.”

“I feel like it does him justice, and I hope it also does his family justice too,” she told the outlet, adding that the cast and crew are “happy with what the writers came up with. It’s going to be very special.”

“It was not easy at all,” she continued. “It’s still difficult. It was tough. I was very, very emotional throughout it. We all had our moments. … I felt safe enough to cry, or laugh, or have any of the emotions that come up.”

“This was this final step for us,” Ashleigh Murray said. “I know, like we all know, Luke would want us to keep going. He wouldn’t want us to cry too long over him. It changed us, but we are able to keep moving.”

Luke sadly passed away at age 52 after suffering a massive stroke in March.

Luke Perry‘s last appearance on Riverdale aired in April, but his character, Fred Andrews’s, absence has not been addressed on the show yet.

Season four of Riverdale premieres on October 9 on The CW.

Ashleigh Murray & Lucy Hale Bring Katy Keene to CW Upfronts in NYC

Ashleigh Murray & Lucy Hale Bring Katy Keene to CW Upfronts in NYC

Ashleigh Murray joins her new co-stars, Lucy Hale, Julia Chan and Jonny Beauchamp, at the 2019 CW Network Upfront on Thursday morning (May 16) in New York City.

The four actors all star in the network’s new series, Katy Keene, which will be premiering mid-season in 2020.

Here’s the official summary for the show: Katy Keene follows the lives and loves of four iconic Archie Comics characters — fashion legend-to-be Katy Keene (Hale), singer/songwriter Josie McCoy (Murray), performer Jorge Lopez/Ginger (Beauchamp), and “It Girl” Pepper Smith (Chan) — as they chase their twenty-something dreams in New York City…together.

Katy designs clothes for anyone she can, including her friend and roommate Josie, whose singing talent catches the attention of Alexander Cabot (Lucien Laviscount), a CEO who hopes to reboot the record label division of his father’s corporate empire. But Alexander’s dream of signing Josie to a recording contract meets resistance from Cabot Media’s powerful senior vice president Alexandra (Camille Hyde), who also happens to be his twin sister.

Josie and Katy’s roommate Jorge works at his family’s bodega and has his eye on Broadway, but after a series of rejections, he hopes to take his drag performance career as Ginger to the next level. The mysterious Pepper Smith plans to open her own version of Andy Warhol’s Factory. She has the connections, but no one seems to know where she got her money — or if she really has any at all.

Katy struggles to manage the pressures of her day job at Lacy’s Department Store and her very demanding boss, Gloria (Katherine LaNasa), who is a legendary personal shopper. But Katy has the support of her longtime boyfriend, KO Kelly (Zane Holtz), who has his own dream of becoming a professional boxer. As these aspiring artists take on the runway, the recording studio, Broadway, and the NYC social scene, they will find more than just a career in the big city — they’ll find long-lasting friendship.

Check out the first teaser below!

FYI: Ashleigh wore a SEA New York look with Monica Vinader jewelry. Lucy wore a Giambattista Valli look.
