What's going on, guys? Welcome to our Riverdale Rapid Fire recap where we talk about all things trending on Riverdale. Today we have a very special guest. Skeet Ulrich. Woo. Jazz hands. Everybody should know that you guys are coming up to be serpents on the show. Do you hear that? I heard that. We got two new gang members. Look out Northside. We're coming at you.
Does that mean we get to cool tattoos?
Yes. Yes. It's so done. Leather, tats, all of it. We're ready. We're prepared. We actually just had Mädchen in the studio who plays Betty's mom. We had her in and she talked about all the drama that the parents have, because to me it seems like the parents have more drama than the kids. So, we're going to roll back that clip so that you can see it. Let's see what she says. And I would have to say, I feel like the parents have a lot of drama compared to the teens. Like, yeah, the most dramatic. Do you agree?
Well, I think also because we're dealing with as many things in the town, but then we also have all of the history of going through what these kids are going through now. Right. So, it's sort of like, you know, a double whammy. We've got our skeletons in our closet. Yes. And then our current drama with each other.
Yeah, I feel like, like, of course, the entire cast, it's amazing. But, I feel like when the parents are on, it's just like constant like, it gets crazy. It does, yeah. And you guys are all just so amazing at what you do. So, it's definitely fun. Are there any good parents? Are there any good parents? What do you think about that? What are your thoughts on what she said?
I I'm a great parent, yeah. I mean, I think FP's really trying to be a good parent. Um, you know, I think he doesn't have necessarily the means to to to do everything he would wish he could do for Jughead. And the fact that he drank his wife and daughter away didn't help situations. But, I think you know, his heart is in the right place and he really cares for him and FP just got out of jail. And he really wanted to come back and, you know, do better and be a better version of himself for Jughead. That was like his plan. And then that plan kind of
Yeah, it went it went south. So to speak. Southside, you did that.
Oh yeah. You know, ultimately, yeah, he has he has to put himself aside to to protect his son. And again, that's where his heart's in the right spot. But, he's been in a backed into a corner.
Well, it wouldn't be a Riverdale recap if we didn't talk about something extra steamy and extra dramatic. You know what I'm talking about? Oh the kids. The Archie and the Betty kids. He knew, he knew, he knew. Okay, so just thoughts, what what do you think about that? Is Jughead just completely heartbroken? Did your feelings get hurt? Like, what happened? How do you feel?
I I'm crushed for Jughead, you know? I think he has one person he can really depend on at the moment. Um, as much as I'd like to say he could depend on FP, you just never know what circumstances will come up to change that. Um, with Betty he really, you know, he he put his heart on the line with her. We will see coming up some ramifications from that that are really interesting.
I have a more a crazy question to ask you. Is there a future for Falice?
I you know, it feels inevitable. But, you know, very different worlds now. Uh, so it kind of depends. And she's married and um he's married. Technically, yeah.
Take the marriage out, you guys would be really hot together. So hot.
I think so. She's just a dynamo, you know? I think FP's the one person who's not scared of her. He can reign her in and that she's somewhat intimidated by.
Well, you guys sound like the perfect couple. So, we're just going to go with that. As if you don't have enough drama on the show. That would be perfect. Let's stir it up a little more. Make it happen. We can weave it into your guys roles as serpents.
Yes. I like that. Yes. Yeah, you'll see us with signs Falice. #Falice. Running around town. Running around Riverdale with Falice signs. Exactly. Exactly. Done and done. We talked to the writers. Yep, yep.
And speaking of done, that's all we have today for our Riverdale Rapid Fire recap. Skeet, you're awesome. Please come back anytime. Nicely done. Nicely done. Don't leave me hanging. #Falice. We'll see you guys next time.
