Madelaine Petsch reveals the 'worst' plots she had to act out on Riverdale

'I'm like Scarlet Witching up in the air, singing and crying with lasers shooting out of my hands at a comet,' Madelaine told host Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast

Madelaine Petsch has revealed which Riverdale plotlines she thought were the most ridiculous.


Speaking to Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the 31-year-old actress spoke about her time on the show, as well as dispelling rumors, especially the one about the cast all sleeping with each other.

Sharing what really happened on set, Madelaine said, "May I set the record straight about Riverdale, actually? Recently, an article came out saying that we all f–ked each other on the show. I did not touch a single person on that show with a 10-foot pole."

However, she also delved into some other Riverdale gossip when Alex asked her what the "worst Riverdale plot line you ever had to act out" was.

Speaking candidly, Madelaine replied, "Where do I begin? There are so many going through my head, I can’t decide. I had to act with my brother's dead corpse in a wheelchair for an entire season. Mind you, he died four years prior. His corpse should have absolutely rotted. But I was basically losing my mind and speaking to a corpse for an entire season."


But she soon remembered another plotline that left her frazzled when she suddenly gained magical powers. "This is my Roman Empire. When I became a witch on that show," she said.

Madelaine then namedropped a Riverdale writer, and looking straight at the camera, she said, "I told you I didn’t want to see lasers coming out of my hands. What did he do in the season finale of season six?

"I'm like Scarlet Witching up in the air, singing and crying with lasers shooting out of my hands at a comet. At a comet that ends up wiping out all of Riverdale, which is why we're in the '50s in season seven. Hey, what?"


Since Riverdale ceased filming, Madelaine has had a super busy career, acting in movies such as The Strangers: Chapter 1 and The Strangers: Chapter 2.

She's also currently promoting her new film, Maintenance Required, which is a rom-com. In the movie, Madelaine plays Charlie, the owner of an all-female mechanic shop who has to reevaluate her future when a competitor sets up across the street.

She seeks comfort in an anonymous online friend; however, she doesn't realise that she's speaking to Beau, the very rival threatening her business. Sparks soon fly, but Charlie needs to make sure this new love interest doesn't tear apart everything she's worked for.
