We’re finally going to meet Jughead’s mother and sister in this week’s RIVERDALE. According to the synopsis for the episode, “On the road and running out of places to stay, Jughead (Cole Sprouse) and Archie (KJ Apa) head to Toledo to visit Jughead’s mother Gladys (guest star Gina Gershon) and sister Jellybean (guest star Trinity Likins).” During a recent vision to the set of RIVERDALE in Vancouver, Sprouse said of the appearance “I think, for me, it’s nice to have a little more background on Jughead’s character and his family life and a lore that has sort of been hinted at since season one really, and kind of loose ends that — without saying too much — do get addressed and do get talked about.”
Meanwhile, when asked how the appearance of FP’s ex could affect his current life and his relationship with Alice, Skeet Ulrich hinted that “I think there’s a lot to be worried about. He’s started to get life by the horns a little bit and find a workable life with Jughead and their situation, and she’s the ex factor. As with most toxic relationships, there’s someone that just sets you off. So it would be curious to see what happens going down the line. The reunion is certainly not how he would have wanted it or not what he would’ve wanted, but I think she is just like he was in the first season — just such a wildcard. You just don’t know what’s coming. And I worked with Gina a long time ago. We did a Paul Schrader movie together called TOUCH and haven’t seen each other since. And it’s great to work with her again. She’s really bring something so unique and interesting to it.”
