TVLine has learned exclusively that producers of The CW’s rookie teen drama have decided to recast the role of Archie’s foe Reggie ahead of Season 2 as a result of scheduling issues with the character’s portrayer Ross Butler. 😳ðŸ˜
I SAW AND REBLOGGED IT. 😣😣😣
But in all honesty, I'm not mad about it? Reggie is a pretty big part of the Archie universe and Ross being unavailable all the time really kind of messed some shit up already? Like, you cannot tell me that the girl rating thing wasn't originally a plot meant for Reggie when A) The one of the current Archie titles has a story about Reggie and a dating app. B) There's no way in hell someone would've gone straight to sweet innocent CHUCK for that kind of story unless that was the only really recognisable dude they had left in the cast.
I'm definitely sad that Ross is leaving the show. But I'm glad it's because he has TOO MANY roles rather than them just not liking him or something.
Also... I hope new Reggie has a better haircut....
