No, the actual Scooby-Doo doesn't appear in the Velma series, but the main antagonist of Season 2 is Scrappy-Doo, who is portrayed as a rogue super-soldier and serial killer, making him a villainous version of the classic character, and some fan theories even suggest a cosmic evil Scooby. The show creators couldn't use Scooby due to studio restrictions, so they introduced Scrappy as the big bad, playing on the character's often-maligned reputation.
😅 Scrappy-Doo was the main villain of S2 and, in the finale, he kills the titular character, Velma. After being killed, Velma returns (as a ghost) and gets revenge by killing Scrappy-Doo. 😵 This is a real image from the show - not an April Fools. 😆

Other actors, like Kirk Cameron, Fawad Khan, and some Bollywood stars, have also refused kisses for religious or personal reasons, while some actresses like Tisha Campbell refused due to workplace issues.
Shaggy decided to break up with Velma in favor of his relationship with Scooby, ultimately deciding that he wasn't ready for a committed relationship.
The most prominent LGBTQ+ character in Scooby-Doo is Velma Dinkley, who was confirmed as a lesbian in the 2022 film Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!, showing her with a crush on a woman, Coco Diablo. While creators like James Gunn and Tony Cervone had long intended Velma to be gay and hinted at it in previous series like Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, this was the first time it was explicitly shown on screen.
Cardellini portrayed Velma Dinkley in the live action films Scooby-Doo (2002) and its sequel Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), and has appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Laura Barton in the films Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and Avengers: Endgame (2019), and the Disney+ series Hawkeye (2021), and as ...

While the show attempts to engage with its own history, it fails the most in its conceit, reimagining Velma as less of a clever, critical investigator and more as a loud-mouthed troll who annoys her way through her mysteries while occasionally connecting two plus two.
