Marisol Nichols

Hey. How are you doing?

Young Hollywood

Marisol Nichols

Good. Good. Thanks.

Young Hollywood

Your hair looks beautiful by the way. I just have to say you're giving me all the hair jels.

Marisol Nichols

Am I?

Young Hollywood

The jealous hair feels. Yeah.

Marisol Nichols

Thank you very much.

Young Hollywood

Well, welcome back.

Marisol Nichols

Thank you. Yes, it's good to be back.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. We haven't seen you like forever.

Marisol Nichols

No, not since the first season. I know. It's so much has happened since then.

Young Hollywood

Are you shocked how much Hermani's sort of changed?

Marisol Nichols

Oh my gosh, honestly, since like the beginning to now, I feel like she's so different. But I still love her so much.

Young Hollywood

Thank you.

Marisol Nichols

Yeah. Thank you. Some people, I get, I get either snake or queen. Those are pretty much the reactions.

Young Hollywood

The snake queen. I like that. Yeah, we can put them together. You are a queen. When you walk around, you're just like you're strutting your thing, you have that like that face and the hair and you're just you're killing it.

Marisol Nichols

Thank you.

Young Hollywood

You're welcome. So we actually had your TV husband in recently, Mr. Mark Consuelos.

Marisol Nichols

Yes. Yes.

Young Hollywood

And I told him that I wanted to be a Lodge.

Marisol Nichols

Oh, really?

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Oh, great. Yes. Yes. There's something about the Lodge family that you guys, it just you suck us in.

Marisol Nichols

Thanks.

Young Hollywood

Like vampires.

Marisol Nichols

Ooh.

Young Hollywood

Right?

Marisol Nichols

I didn't, I wasn't going there, but I like that. I kind of like that.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. I think it's like the dark features and your charisma and everything. It's just I really want to be a Lodge. So Can you make that happen for me?

Marisol Nichols

Oh, yeah. Oh, I like that. Oh, yeah. Um, I'll work on that. Maybe you could give Veronica's cousin.

Young Hollywood

Okay. That would be perfect. That moves into the Lodge family cuz we've killed you like your father or something like that. Oh my God, that'd be awesome. Yeah. Okay. And I feel like the casting too. It's it's incredible. I mean, the family and the kids, like you guys all looked you're actually related. Did you guys get that a lot?

Marisol Nichols

I mean, if I were going to cast a Latino family, I would, I would kind of pick us. Yes. That's kind of amazing.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Right?

Marisol Nichols

It's really, it's it's I was shocked because it's got to be hard to be, to come in as Hiram Lodge on season two of a show that, you know, people really love and embrace. But he fit in perfectly and I'm like, yeah, I could completely see us all together.

Young Hollywood

And you and Kimi, I mean, Camila Mendes, she plays your on-screen daughter. I mean, you guys, you guys honestly look identical.

Marisol Nichols

No, if you see pictures of me like her age, we look very much like sisters. It's pretty amazing.

Young Hollywood

So I actually, I was lurking your Instagram.

Marisol Nichols

Oh, okay.

Young Hollywood

And I saw that you did an Instagram poll with you and Mark Consuelos of who was shadier.

Marisol Nichols

I did.

Young Hollywood

The fans overwhelmingly chose you as shadier. Like 70%.

Marisol Nichols

I know. And I don't know if they meant it as a compliment. Cuz they be like, you're shadier. Love you. I'm like, yeah. But I was, I okay. I was really surprised. I thought for sure it would be Hiram.

Young Hollywood

That's what I thought. Like 100%, it's got to be Hiram. One of my favorite lines that you had, um, you were in the diner and you were talking to Madelaine. And you were saying, Do you know which line I'm talking about?

Marisol Nichols

I do. I do. I went to high school with your mother and she didn't have any class either.

Young Hollywood

Oh. That was the one. Girl, that's my favorite line.

Marisol Nichols

Really? Oh, good. I when you said that one. I really like that one. I thought it was really, really good. I've had a couple of really good lines. The don't be so thirsty. Ooh. I didn't know it was gonna hit so bad. I didn't know what it meant.

Young Hollywood

Oh, but you know now, right?

Marisol Nichols

Now I know. I was like, oh, really? That's what I'm saying to my daughter. The pobrecita line when I'm drunk with the wine. Oh, yeah. I like that one a lot.

Young Hollywood

You've been given some awesome lines for sure.

Marisol Nichols

Good lines. Yeah, I like them.

Young Hollywood

So you work really closely with Camila Mendes.

Marisol Nichols

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

From start to finish, you guys have gotten to spend a lot of time together. What would you say is your favorite part about working with her? So I feel like it must be really hard to keep a straight face with her.

Marisol Nichols

She's hilarious. She's hilarious. And we do goof around a lot. I would say my favorite part about working with her is because we both established such a wonderful mother-daughter bond. And so whenever we get to let that creep out, whether it's the mother-daughter bond is breaking, whether we're at each other's throats, or whether we're, you know, coming together again, we really both really like those scenes. Like we really, really liked what we created. And so anytime we get to touch on that, it's it's really nice for both of us.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. I feel like it's really genuine too. Yeah. Like even like the fights for sure, I'm just like, oh my God, this is like actually happening. They're actually fighting right now.

Marisol Nichols

Yeah, because it can't, it can't be, it can't be a good fight unless it's actually based on something true.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. So most important question of all, who's your favorite Riverdale couple? And if they're not a couple yet, you can create one. I always love asking this one.

Marisol Nichols

Wow, that's a hard one. I would say I really like, um, Betty and Jughead. Bughead. I really like Bughead. Yeah, they're so sweet. Right? I really like them together.

Young Hollywood

I think our fans will support you on that. They're big Bughead fans over here. I'm a Bughead fan. Yeah. I'm a Bughead fan.

Marisol Nichols

Me too. Who isn't? Right?

Young Hollywood

Okay. And lastly, can you tease in one word what's coming next for your character Hermine?

Marisol Nichols

Oh, yeah. Skeet said revenge. Godfather.

Young Hollywood

Ooh, wasn't expecting that one. Okay. Godfather, guys, you heard it here first. We'll just wait, okay. Thanks so much for hanging out with us today.

Marisol Nichols

Thanks for having me. Thank you.

Young Hollywood

Anytime.
