In times like these it's important to find comfort in places. For me, I find comfort in classic Archie stories. Betty and Veronica: Friends Forever #1 It's All Relative is exactly what I, and possibly you, need in a time like this. Veronica is on edge because her cousin Leroy is in town. Leroy is […]
Yes, "Queen Cheryl" (Madelaine Petsch) sums up this week's episode of The CW's Riverdale nicely – as we see the bitter end of the "Dead Jughead" near-season long storyline: "Jughead Jones is alive. Somehow, I'm not surprised." In case you're new around here, there are MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD! ahead – blah blah blah. You should […]
On the same day that the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic, The CW's Riverdale announced that it is shutting down its Vancouver production on the current season after a member of the team came into contact with an individual who tested positive for the coronavirus and "is currently receiving medical evaluation."

Thank you for coming, Riverdale friends, at this, our time of great despair. No, not Jughead's (Cole Sprouse) funeral…well, kind of. Naturally, the town is gutted and still reeling from the tragedy of two weeks ago. No idea what "tragedy" I'm talking about? No, it's not Archie's (KJ Apa) hopelessly bushy eyebrows that don't match […]
As if the "Dead Jughead" storyline during the fourth season of The CW's Riverdale wasn't already having our brain gears grinding about a Riverdale/Chilling Adventures of Sabrina crossover (and an Afterlife with Archie storyline season), executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is dialing up the drama before tonight's "Chapter Seventy-Two: To Die For". Now we already know that Betty (Lili […]
With only a handful of episodes left for this season of The CW's Riverdale, we're getting really curious how they're going to have Skeet Ulrich (F.P. Jones) and Marisol Nichols (Hermione Lodge) exit the series – but we're going back to sounding like a broken record when we tell you that we're absolutely still all about […]
Sorry if it feels like I've gone off the grid this week, this week's episode of The CW's Riverdale had me celebrating the "Dead Jughead" aftermath a little too much, my friends. Oh, what's that? You're not up-to-date on what's going on with the storyline? Go get caught up on "The 'Dale" because there are […]
Normally, news that Riverdale mainstays Skeet Ulrich (F.P. Jones) and Marisol Nichols (Hermione Lodge) are set to leave the series after this season would be more than enough to overshadow what's happening on-screen. Throw in a social media-posted image of Kiernan Shipka, KJ Apa, and Casey Cott fueling (at least our) speculation of a very […]
