K. J. Apa and Lili Reinhart of the 'Riverdale' television show speak during the CW portion of the 2017 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour at the Langham Hotel on January 8, 2017 in Pasadena, California.

Fans of the "Archie" comics were surprised when Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) kissed Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) in "Riverdale" Season 1 episode 6 titled "Chapter Six: Faster, Pussycats! Kill! Kill!," which aired on March 2 on The CW. Recently, Reinhart talked about what filming that kiss scene was like.

"It was fun," Reinhart told TooFab and revealed that the kissing scene was shot in October 2016. She added that at that point, she and Sprouse were very comfortable and they have always been pretty close on set.

For Reinhart, she and Sprouse were just excited for their characters and for the viewers to see the kiss happen. The actress said the kissing scene was not awkward but "very easy" and "cute."

Growing up, Reinhart was a huge fan of Sprouse in "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody." Now, the former considers the latter as her friend so kissing someone she used to watch on TV did not really mean anything anymore. By the time, they got to shoot the scene, she was so close with everyone on set that it would not really matter if it were with Sprouse or K.J. Apa, who plays Archie Andrews.

"I grew up watching Cole," Reinhart said. "But I never really fangirled over him because he's just Cole and he's my friend."

Sprouse's "Riverdale" is different from the asexual character introduced by Chip Zdarsky in the comics. About this, the actor told Comic Book that "this conversation deserves more time than something that we can quickly do here."

Joining Reinhart, Sprouse and Apa in the "Riverdale" cast are Trevor Stines as Jason Blossom, Tiera Skovbye as Polly Cooper, Camila Mendes as Veronica Lodge, Marisol Nicols as Hermione Lodge, Rob Raco as Joaquin, Ashleigh Murray as Josie McCoy, among others.
