She tweeted: "Okay, it’s official. Best fans ever. Been reading all ur tweets. Tku for the love & support.
"We’re still filming Riverdale till April so still more to come, and then 1 month till #spiral #saw movie comes out! Beyond excited. Nothing but Red heart for all of u."

He said: "Part of life in Riverdale — and part of growing up — is saying goodbye to people. I’m grateful to Skeet and Marisol for their incredible work on the show these last four years, and we all wish them well on their future endeavours.
"F.P. and Hermione will never be far from our hearts. And, of course, they’re always welcome back in Riverdale."
