"I've already had some death threats," Morgan shares. "But the thing is, it's half death threats because they don't want that actually happening, and there's half that's just all love. Who knows if my character coming between Bughead is even going to happen. People are just jumping to conclusions," she went on to say.
Fans would just have to stay tuned into "Riverdale" when it arrives this Oct. 11 to find out if Toni Topaz will, in fact, be the thorn to the "Bughead" couple.
