The big four are the only people on the show who consistently get screentime, so there’s always going to be jockeying for who else gets featured. Cheryl was the winner of that jockeying more often than not in the first four seasons, so I think a concerted push to elevate Toni almost invariably would come at her expense (I do appreciate, though, the writers giving Toni stuff away from Cheryl - shows too often fall into a rut of only having certain characters interact).
Vanessa also went on maternity leave at some point in production, so that’s extra incentive for the writers to give her a lot upfront.
as a cheryl stan, i don't mind her taking a back seat for two episodes (she had prominent stuff in the first three of the season and will again soon so eh) and there's always been lull in screentime for her so i don't get why people are so surprised after just two episodes, but i do think it's ridiculous that instead of taking screentime away from the core four that constantly eat it up, they're going to focus more on the supporting characters that already don't get much screentime in comparison. truly never watched a show that has only consistently cared about four of its characters like riverdale does, except maybe glee

Even with that stupid-ass hair, I would still let Reggie and those cheekbones do whatever he wants to me God bless.

the way they completely sidelined Cheryl is odd, they just have way too many characters
