Before the series took its last bow, Madelaine Petsch shared her thoughts on the ending.
“It’s more to me about saying goodbye to these people who made the show [and] put their love into it. So that was quite difficult,” Petsch exclusively told Us Weekly in July. “But I know it was time to put the red lipstick away and say goodbye to Cheryl. So, I’m excited to say goodbye to Cheryl [and] I think her story has been completed really well. I think people will be happy with it.”
