Vanessa Morgan, the talented actress known for her role as Toni Topaz on the popular CW series Riverdale, recently opened up about her enduring connection with her former castmates. Despite the show coming to an end in August 2023 after a successful six-year run, Morgan revealed that Riverdale will always hold a special place in her heart.

Reflecting on her time on the show, the 32-year-old actress expressed her nostalgia, stating, “It does feel like so long ago, it really does. But I’m glad it’s only been a year and a half because I feel like time’s just flying by.” She also shared how much she misses the camaraderie of being part of such a tight-knit friend group and seeing them regularly.

Living in Vancouver where the series was filmed, Morgan finds it challenging to maintain those strong bonds now that her co-stars have returned to the U.S. and are all leading busy lives. Despite the physical distance, she shared that they all make an effort to stay connected, primarily through a group chat that keeps them in touch.
Among her co-stars, Madelaine Petsch, Lili Reinhart, and Camila Mendes are the ones Morgan communicates with the most. During a recent trip to Los Angeles, she had the opportunity to meet up with Petsch and Mendes, who also had the chance to meet Morgan’s daughter, Kaia, for the first time, creating a heartwarming moment for the trio.
While Morgan continues to cherish her memories from Riverdale, she is currently exploring new projects, including her role in the CW’s Wild Cards alongside Giacomo Gianniotti and Jason Priestley, where she portrays the character Max. Describing her character as one of her favourites, Morgan admires Max for her ability to navigate a chaotic yet ultimately fulfilling life.
Fans of Vanessa Morgan can catch her in action on Wild Cards, airing on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on the CW, while Riverdale enthusiasts can binge-watch the series on Netflix. As Morgan delves into new roles and opportunities, her bond with her former castmates remains strong, showcasing the enduring friendships built on the set of Riverdale.
