User blog:Virvar/Shannen Doherty in "Riverdale" Season 4 Premiere

"I am deeply honored to pay tribute to Luke on Riverdale. The care in which this show takes in honoring his memory is beautiful. He is missed. Today. Tomorrow. Forever."

- Shannen Doherty



"Shannen plays the person who tells us what happened to Fred. She was there and she’s an unexpected source of comfort to Archie. A big piece of what happened to Fred comes to Archie through Shannen’s character. The scene is so heartbreaking because you really feel Shannen’s love for Luke"

- Aguirre-Sacasa, about Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry

"One of the things that Luke had talked about since Season 1, is he really wanted his good friend Shannen Doherty to come on to Riverdale. And, we tried to make it happen a few times - it didn't work out. But, when we were putting together this episode we really wanted to include her so Shannen Doherty is in 401 in a really emotional role"

- Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, at the 2019 San Diego Comic Con
