The host looks like she could be related to mrs cooper

[@KirbieJohnson]

I take that as a compliment! #BettysAunt????

[@michaelthompson7306]

Amy Fisher lowkey thought it was Mrs. Cooper at first and when she was surprised that Madelaine was from South Africa i was like huh well maybe they just didnt spend enough time together on set to know that😂

[@amyfisher4507]

Kirbie Johnson definitely a compliment!

[@karlyroberts8165]

OMG I THOUGHT THAT TOO!

[@user-lw7jy5bn4c]

Amy Fisher OMMGGG YESSS

[@lovikayeputhomi8736]

she is actually really sweet. different from the character.

[@MarcusGarzasChannel]

Lovika Yeputhomi It's called acting.

[@lovikayeputhomi8736]

Oh is it? I didn't know 😱

[@MarcusGarzasChannel]

Lovika Yeputhomi Shocking right

[@Lia-sp7ey]

i really like Cheryl tho...but Mad is so natural and cool idk

[@courtneyyyx6485]

Lovika Yeputhomi Cheryl is sweet on the show she just doesn’t show it

[@sikist1166]

she’s so underrated :/

[@mirrurball]

matty healy i know! speaking of underrated people, so is matty. loving that profile pic and user

[@biancasummers8684]

butera hemmings wat

[@mirrurball]

Bianca Winters what lol i was talking about their user, nobody talks about the 1975 that much

[@ch_aarlize]

she's overrated!

[@444ayvatar5]

Alex_Standall_and_V_are_my_bias your underrated

[@starryy222]

She's vegan, her views on makeup and like life in general. She's my new girl crush

[@takemetomarz]

Nuru Del Rey same

[@MotherAlienz]

Nuru x you forgot to say no homo

[@aj_814]

yeah i’m in love with her

[@carlaward6508]

Samsies

[@WickedWench]

It's weird seeing her without her red lips.

[@kourtsunday]

Adriella Miri she doesn't always have red lips on the show lol

[@pragya6413]

Adriella Miri I swera and her hair is also lighter

[@ronjawaehnke7094]

Kourtney Sadler nobody asked you lol

[@taliaperez782]

pragya rajput it does look lighter but I think it's just the lighting

[@pragya6413]

Talia Perez yea I too think it coz Riverdale has a darker lightning.

[@JackieWyers]

She's so perfect for Cheryl! loved this interview

[@takemetomarz]

Jackie Wyers ikr

[@myranegi749]

Yeah..gurl..❤️😘😘....you got it

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

JACKIE, Whats up.

[@_4dak826]

She’s just perfect in general

[@kayla7326]

she's seems so freakn down to earth

[@lucylou4110]

Plays Cheryl fantastically 💓

[@mauvebassetgirl21]

It goes without saying that Madelaine is fantastic, but this interviewer deserves some love too. Sometimes these reporters are so annoying/boring but she's just fabulous and charming! Well done, very interesting interview

[@marizpascual2228]

She has an organic personality that sets her apart from the Riverdale cast-- She's beautiful 😍

[@graceporter2083]

Mariz Pascual I

[@utumnc]

her and lili honestly

[@roshnijmr]

I find her and Holland Roden so similar!!! And I love them both because they both seem so natural and they are gorgeous!! 😍😍

[@WildestWonders]

Roshni J omg yes but I have liked Holland forever and then this new girl came onto riverdale and she was pretty much like EXACTLY like season one Lydia from teen wolf and I was like.... *cough exqueeeze me

[@eschal2865]

Holland ROden is islamophobic and racist who jokes about serious matters such as rape whereas Madelain Petsch is a nice sweet actress who has not (yet) given the media any reason to hate her. Please do not compare two completely different actresses based on looks.

[@nikolh7412]

Eschal Najmi I don't think Holland is islamophopic or racist. You don't know her personally and you never talked to her, so don't be brainwashed by media.

[@elvia9947]

Where did you get that info about her being racist and all? I haven't heard it

[@eschal2865]

antitwfandom.tumblr.com/post/125752547179/your-fave-is-problematic-holland-roden

[@Isabella-77]

she's so talented! she plays cheryl amazingly and is so beautiful!

[@destinyrocha6546]

she also plays in F-the prom

[@steelsheen]

i can totally see her fitting as Mary Jane in the new Spiderman movies. she looks the same age as Tom Holland and the rest of the cast including Zendaya

[@amylsutton2]

steelsheen me too!

[@hellomynameishaleyyy]

zendaya is MJ... unforunately that means the role is already filled :(

[@no.4891]

hellomynameishaleyyy Zendaya is not MJ, Zendaya plays Michelle not Mary Jane. Fake fan. Lol JK, but please do your reasearch.

[@Rainbow-jq7gi]

I thought the director said that there's not going to be a Mary Jane in the new movies, but I could be wrong

[@Sneha-Anatra]

The ending says you can call me MJ so Zendaya is MJ

[@Penguinlove126]

love her and riverdale!!!!

[@caseyreyes140]

i have the same phone case

[@quitedankly3342]

She'd be great as poison ivy

[@alexandralynn186]

YES!

[@thepastelcandycatinwonderl3108]

Right? As a Batman fan that's literally all I could think of, especially when I saw the PETA photoshoot.

[@cr-xt6ci]

Andrea Roa she is poison ivy now!

[@gabyminjares8058]

Bitch... you called it for the halloween episode... damn... congratss...

[@carolina72720]

And she was !!

[@ThePacemaker45]

She's fantastic on Riverdale. I think she just might be the best actress on Riverdale, they're all great though!

[@aurorap.7578]

Her skin is flawless

[@manyox]

She is so good at keeping the conversation going,I love her ❤️

[@eveleger5727]

[@sneekz07]

[@nalacub3_539]

[@keepingupwithkenya8146]

GIRL GET HELP CHERYL IS LIKE GOALS

[@summer.sunshine]

"I'll just do my whole face thank u" BAHAHAAHHA omg

[@aylin5887]

me tho

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

I LOVE Madelaine as herself AND as Cheryl. She rocks those outfits and the red lipstick. Potential name for Madelaine's fanbase: Cherry Blossoms

[@Millie_playz05]

“I don’t want Cheryl to have a boyfriend” ~plot twist Cheryl gets a girlfriend

[@olivetree1015]

Interviewer- "i tweeted that Madelaine was coming and she retweeted it, -thanks boo" Madelaine- "I got you"

[@michaellorence3672]

She's like the major reason why I'm always looking forward to more Riverdale episodes. Been an Archie fan since I was a kid and Cheryl Blossom was one of my most despised character, but she made me love Cheryl Blossom. She's (the character) crazy. But awesome!

[@analanga]

Am I the only one who thinks "PETSCHERS" would be a great fandom name?

[@feliciaheed3906]

Ana Paula Langa OMG I just thought That!!!

[@analanga]

Yeah right?

[@KirbieJohnson]

Where my Petchers at?

[@analanga]

lol

[@devanshigupta4208]

Ana Paula Langa I feel it should be streets😅

[@SavannahMoll]

She is so amazingly beautiful and seem like such a positive person 💕 Great episode, I knew I'm a fan of the show but didn't know I am a fan of Madelaine

[@breliones]

Zuzanna Molska she is not beautiful at all she is freaking gorgeous me and my sis binge watch this show and r so jealous of here

[@madkins8329]

"The decisions you make, they make you who you are and who you'll become. Be confident enough in them that you don't have to lie."

[@abbyhunt8824]

Madkins omg i was scrolling through comments and read this just as she was saying it..... creepy...

[@thepokemonmaster1298]

Madelangels is such a good name for her fans

[@lovechocolatemuffins]

The Pokemon Master12 yasss

[@emmalillian433]

Yass I love that

[@abby8339]

i love that

[@cheryl1143]

yess but she calls us her pumpkins bc since she loves us and pumpkins so yeah lmao

[@dariusjrobinson]

Those slow mo scenes when Cheryl is walking in all boss and stuff or being introduced in that scene are my favorite thing 😍

[@nicole-no4dm]

WHEN SHE MENTIONED GOSSIP GIRL I SQUEALED 🤗🤗

[@bronaghe8311]

Nicole Cook LOL! Me too 😂

[@amylsutton2]

Nicole Cook I loved that show! Wish it was still on! :)

[@ReecieChan]

Nicole Cook for some reason I read squealed as squatted 😂

[@disrespectfullymyOPINION]

she is like who Bella thorne should've been

[@lifesquixotic]

Britney Ferguson SO TRUE

[@sadieblack2013]

Britney Ferguson I love the accuracy omg

[@angelmarie111]

Bella thorne is the Wal-Mart version tho

[@sejalsutliff8193]

Britney Ferguson that's so true oml hahaha

[@vivian4399]

Chrissy Long no she's the great value version

[@em-np3ri]

she's so amazingly gorgeous and sweet. which makes her talent for playing Cheryl so extraordinary.

[@Jadebay73]

I honestly find madelaine really sweet and talented and I firmly believe she should get a main role after Riverdale ❤❤❤

[@denisheabates7660]

Wow this girl is one of my favorite characters

[@elizabethavren9795]

Yes pleaseeeee bring in the whole Riverdale cast the next time! I love this interview with Madelaine...she's so eloquent and hyper and entertaining!

[@KirbieJohnson]

Great suggestion. We have a few interviews with the cast up now on the channel!

[@amylsutton2]

Kirbie Johnson I think it would be fun to ask the cast similar questions. Like where they grew up, what are there hobbies, what they like to do for fun, what are there favorite makeup brands, favorite food/candy, favorite froyo toppings, what songs are they currently listening too.whats there go to dance song. Instead of the typical interview questions.

[@laurounreal7440]

i love how this interview feels likes they’re old friends just having a conversation

[@olefrancis5695]

OMG I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN SHE MENTIONED LEGENDS OF TOMORROW. AS MUCH AS I LOVE LOT IM SO HAPPY SHE GOT THE ROLE ON RIVERDALE. AND SHE LISTENS TO RUELLE OMG. I LITERALLY STAN HER SO MUCH.

[@charlotted4642]

Her hair is just so so gorgeous! It's so long and shiny!

[@broknskull]

She is the absolute cutest, like I just love her so much. Everything about her is perfect💜

[@elizabethavren9795]

Hehe Bughead may be the hilarious ship name heard, but they're the cutest and most adorable!

[@amelie7802]

Elizabeth Avren I agree they're the most adorable ship. But I don't know I just prefer beronica even though its more hardcore ya know?

[@isobelkelly9862]

she's so sweet & underrated. by far my favourite riverdsle cast member :)

[@cinnamonteeth]

Madelaine is so beautiful 😍 and my favorite female Riverdale character is Cheryl.

[@guitarsea003]

Oh no. I think after this I'm gonna be her stan from just being a casual fan 😂😂

[@andrewrotondo8930]

Cheryl is my favorite Riverdale character! :)

[@alexissprague3268]

She plays her part so well it’s hard to see her being nice like this omg

[@NayukixKisho]

She's so gorgeous, i love her so much! my fav on the show!

[@thediamondkid4320]

When I was around 7-9 I loved Archie. I used to redraw the comics and read each double digest in a day. I really want to get an Archie comic now but I didn't get to find it one in the bookstore. I used to find it everywhere.

[@hannahkoerner3920]

Madelaine is so sweet, down to earth and well spoken!! I love this :)

[@hannahkoerner3920]

Also the fact that her biggest fear is water and she spends so much time in the water for Riverdale (especially in the scene when Cheryl tries to drown herself) is so incredible!!

[@ILoveSoonkyu]

It looks so unusual not seeing her lips as red XD //ofc, I still love her

[@kourtsunday]

Michii Concepcion her lips aren't always red in the show

[@earlrexellmaceda9233]

omg i love her personality so much!!

[@jane9561]

God she's so pretty I'm so obsessed with her 😭😭😍

[@KirbieJohnson]

Alright guys! What should Madelaine's fandom name be?! Thanks for watching the show. Who do you want to see on upcoming episodes? We have Nikki & Bree Bella, Patrick Starrr and more coming up soon!

[@lilyy1356]

[@alahnigalvan7381]

OMG SHE SEEMS SO NICE😂😂 (ik just a show but she is so different from her character)

[@rebelchild9905]

I love being a real redhead and standing out, and not looking like everyone, and when you're little and you're different everybody wants to pick on you so I can relate to Madeline! And I thought the host was the lady that plays Betty Cooper's mom Riverdale my favorite show

[@alexisophia720]

The whole interview was amazing wth. Shes so cute 😭

[@Sofia-js4xp]

Gosh love her on and off-show 😍 Such a girl crush

I LOVE HER😍😍

[@loramartin5475]

Your fans should be called the blossoms 😂

[@amylsutton2]

Lora Martin but what will you call her when riverdale ends? Maybe pick something that she obsesses over or mash up her names/something you like about her. Idk just some ideas

[@groupie8773]

The reddies? Lol

[@dariaa1678]

@@amylsutton2 (1 years later😂) she loves pumpkin so we are her pumpkins like MADELAINE'S PUMPKINS🎃😊😁

[@_JoyceArt]

Awww, this girl's hair is so pretty!

[@katyterberg3006]

I feel like really sweet people often play the best villains. She does a fantastic job on the show and has been woefully underutilized in the 2nd season.

[@rantingwithamelia1885]

We should be rivervixens

[@bumbummm9852]

Ranting With Amelia OMG yes

[@annaflannery636]

I love her complexion it's so gorgeous it's as white as snow

[@estellamarie4458]

My favorite part was when she talked about bullying having almost nothing to do with you and it to do with the bully them self. Reminds me of Dove Cameron who also grew up in Washington!

[@Notrebeccamaudelol]

Wow I love Madelaine! She seems so nice and funny and well put together! I mean she's so cool that the vid got 4K likes and only 17 dislikes!!
