According to EW, as the show recently released season 6 part 2, Riverdale showrunner Roberto Aguire-Sacasa teased the fans by shedding light on the bond and romance between Archie and Betty. Speaking about the same, he avered that the fans were going to experience Archie and Betty in a wholesome way than they had ever seen before in terms of romance, friendship and even the plot. He also recalled how they never explored what it would be like for the duo to be together for a longer time.

He stated, "When we resumed in Riverdale, we kind of realized we've actually never really, really explored what it would be like for them together over a longish haul. So let me say this, I think we're going to experience Betty and Archie in a fuller way than we ever have before — romance-wise, friendship-wise, even just plot-wise. Coming out of the events of 605 and 606, Archie and Betty are pretty bonded."
