Camila Mendes Says Veronica Is 'Scared' Of 'Dark Archie' on 'Riverdale'

Don’t tell KJ Apa, but “dark” Archie on Riverdale is kind of scaring Camila Mendes.

Speaking with EW recently, the actress opened up about how Archie’s new demeanor is affecting Veronica right now.

“Veronica, overall, is pretty scared of how intensely Archie can react to certain things,” Camila says. “She has, from the beginning, been warning him about her father and how he shouldn’t get in too deep with him for that very reason, that sometimes it gets out of control.”

She continues, “So, when Veronica sees Archie getting deeper into that, it scares her.”

On top of Archie’s new dark side, Camila talked about how the core four are more separated then event.

But, “in the end, it’s really them against the world. Though it seems like they’re deteriorating, they need to go through that obstacle in order to overcome what’s ahead. It’ll eventually make them stronger.”

Riverdale airs Wednesdays on The CW.
