The next season of Riverdale will begin with a tribute to the late Luke Perry.

Luke played the much-loved character of Fred Andrews and his death in March of a stroke shocked cast, crew and fans worldwide. 

Fred was seen in the last episode of season three, advising his on-screen son Archie (KJ Apa).
He didn't feature in the remaining episodes but they were dedicated to him.  

Now show creator Robert Aguirre-Sacasa has announced that season four will open in Memoriam, which will honour the actor and his character. 

He took to Twitter writing, ''Probably the most important episode of #Riverdale we’ll do this year, if not ever. A tribute to our fallen friend. Thankful for this opportunity to honour Luke & Fred.''

Robert spoke before about how they will address Fred in the show.

He told Entertainment Tonight in March, ''You know, honestly, we are I think all still in shock and are still processing and grieving. We know that we have to address it in some way, but we’re giving ourselves a little bit of time and space before we figure out the best way to honour him.''

He continued, ''Luke was, is, and will always be a big part of Riverdale. We’re kind of a family and when a loss like this happens, you carry it always. It changes and it hopefully becomes a little less painful as time goes by, but you’re changed. When I was with the crew, I said, “it will never be the same,” and that’s true because Luke was such a part of the show.’

We are looking forward to seeing how they acknowledge Luke as the great actor and man that he was.

He swore to show a 'healthy relationship' to his baby girl; “I promise to never approve of any boy you like because they will never be good enough for my baby girl. Sorry."

“I promise to love you every single second unconditionally until my last breath.” By this point even we were in tears… “You’re perfect to me and always will be.” 

He concluded the emotional note with;

“I promise to always keep you and the child first nothing comes before you,” he wrote. “I promise you will be showered in kisses and hugs every single day. I promise that I will be the best father/baby daddy.”

Camila Mendes and Charles Melton are SO loved up it's kinda making us cringe…in a good way.

The Riverdale stars have been all official since they posted their first snap as a couple on Instagram in October. 

Because they are both jaw-dropping rides – c'mon, have you SEEN Charles' cheekbones? – it's not hard to see why people are calling the #couplegoals.

And Camila penned a sweet message on Instagram to celebrate the premiere of Charles' latest movie, The Sun Is Also a Star. 

She wrote, ''I remember the day @melton told me about this project. we were still just friends then. he hadn’t even been cast yet. they hadn’t even started casting. all he told me was ‘i’m going to play this role, I am Daniel bae’,” Cami captioned the post confirming Charles’s instant attraction to the part.''

She continued, ''Aside from having the biggest heart out of anyone I know, his passion and tenacity are part of the reason I fell in love with him. watching him throw his entire heart and soul into this story of love taught me a lot about the kind of person he is.''

The 24-year-old added, ''I’m probably sharing too much, but before we started dating he’d often get mad at me for trying to bring logic into love. He taught me that love doesn’t have an explanation, it either exists or it doesn’t. It was his vulnerability not only as an actor but also as a man, that taught me that valuable message, one that is so relevant to this film. I’m so proud of you Charles and so grateful to have witnessed this beautiful journey of yours.''

Charles replied, ''I love you.''

Camila spoke to Teen Vogue for the May cover interview about how she's trying to keep things like her relationship more a bit more shielded. 

She said, ''I'm not a private person. I don't like hiding. But the more I get used to this lifestyle the more I reevaluate what I want to share and what I don't.''

It must be true love then if she's shouting it from the rooftops like this – and we couldn't be happier for the stunning pair.

The world was shocked and saddened by the passing of Riverdale star Luke Perry in March of this year.

The 53-year-old suffered a massive stroke and died several days later. 

The actor, who had played Fred Andrews for three seasons, had three episodes of the season left to film. 

The dilemma then was – how do the creators address it?

Do they write his character out, give an unexplained absence or kill him off?

They decided that for season three, they would just leave it be.

The show said that Fred was away on business and Molly Ringwald came back as Archie's mother Mary so that the teenager had a parent to take care of him.

So, what's gonna happen in season 4 then?

Showrunner Roberto Aguirre Sacasa revealed what was in store.

He said, ''When Luke passed, it was such a shock, and it was devastating and we kind of have to deal with the emotion of that, and then you have to figure out everything that comes next.''

He continued, ''We will definitely deal with it and address it on the show…we’ll do it at the top of Season 4. We just didn’t want to rush in and do something before we had fully figured it out.''

He added, ''We’d already written basically the end of the season, so rather than try to squeeze in something that’s so monumental and so important, we thought, ‘Let’s take the time to think about what we want to do, and do it right.'”

The good news is that Molly Ringwald looks like she'll be set to step into a series regular role.

Roberto  said, ''[We’ve told her], ‘You’re welcome back anytime, as often as you want and as much as you  want.''

He continued, ''We actually already had her scheduled to come back to Riverdale to visit Archie and Fred. When the tragedy happened, she said, ‘If you need me to stay, I’ll stay.’ And I said, “We’d love you to stay’…We’ve talked about Molly having a bigger presence next year to help her son.''

We'll have to sit tight as we wait for another season – hopefully Fred Andrews will get the send-off he deserves as he was such a beloved character.

The untimely passing of actor Luke Perry left his family, friends and fans at a complete and utter loss for words. The world was stunned to hear that the Riverdale actor suffered a stroke at the mere age of 52 and completely devastated when it was revealed that the 90210 alum had died on March 4.

His Riverdale co-star and on-screen son KJ Apa has opened up about losing his dear friend during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. KJ had previously paid tribute to Luke on Instagram but has understandably kept quiet about the harrowing loss.

KJ Apa is without doubt one of the break out stars from The CW's Riverdale.

The show, which was unreal in Season 1 when it focused on the disappearance of Jason Blossom has slowly descended into utter chaos and our imaginations are now so far stretched when it comes to the storylines that it's reached the point where we're kinda bored of it tbh.

HOWEVER, that's not to say we're bored with the beautiful KJ, who has been put through the aul ringer in Season 3 as Archie Andrews.

From getting tortured in juvie to being almost  made a sacrifice, escaping a prison fight club after being stabbed, his gf's dad trying to kill him, being attacked by a bear…we could go on.

With the shows success, has come huge levels of fame for it's young cast – not to mention 21-year-old KJ.

When it comes to dealing with the madness of fame and fans, he says that he is struggling.

He told ASOS Magazine, ''The weird thing is that it used to be people calling me by my character’s name.''

He continued, ''Now people come up to me in the street and know my name.”

He added, ''Some people touch you and I had a hard time with people feeling like they can have that intimacy with me. The attention is strange and not comfortable. You put yourself in their shoes and think, ‘If I saw someone like that, what would I do?’”

Hmmm, being a celeb does sound kinda creepy when he puts it like that.

People being weird aside, KJ also revealed that he's battling some issues about his appearance. 

He said, ''As soon as I started being on camera so much, I became self-conscious, which I never was [before]. Now I look in the mirror and feel unhappy with…whatever. The fact I have to look a certain way for the show, that can be pressuring.''

But hold on – the New Zealand ride is happy to give himself time to adjust to being known.

He said, ''It’s easy to put pressure on yourself. Recently, it’s been realising, ‘What do I want as a 21-year-old in life?’ In terms of relationships, battling between staying with the love of your life or being a 21-year-old and not living with regret when you’re older. I look at my parents’ marriage and I think, ‘Don’t you wish that you’d waited a bit?’”

Just goes to show that even if you're ripped to shreds, a strong AF Instagram game and bucket loads of talent, you can still be unsure of yourself. 

Thanks for cheering us up, KJ.

"We are all human. And we all struggle. Don't suffer in silence," she continued.

Reinhart told ET in October that she wanted to show a realistic portrayal of her life.

“I try to be open because I'm not putting on a show,” she said. “I'm not trying to look perfect… my life in general is not extremely glamorous. I do a lot of really cool and glamorous things, but that's not my day to day."

"I like to show off myself as being in my natural habitat, which is pretty much just in my bed, eating," she said.

We truly appreciate her honesty and self-care PSAs; we all need time to ourselves, and mental health should always be a priority.

Ariana Grande has some SERIOUSLY dedicated fans, who will back her up no matter what the circumstances are. Even if it means destroying a new song of hers to replace it with a slightly newer banger.

The Sweetener singer has proven herself to be a good sport, and now she's supporting a campaign against her own single (and pure BOP) 7 Rings.

The pop star's fans have randomly launched a movement called #Boycott7Rings in order to dethrone the song from the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, but not for the reason you think…

Basically, the 25-year-old singer has dropped track after track for her loving fans, and they want her latest single Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored to take the number one spot.

The song features on her new album (the second in six months) called Thank U, Next, and has some pretty controversial lyrics.

Some call it toxic femininity to encourage a man to break up with his girlfriend to get with her, others say it's just another incredibly catchy banger from our gal. Oh, and the video features the SEXINESS of Charles Melton.

If you're unfamiliar with Melton's work, he's basically one of the hottest lad on the Riverdale planet. And there are many of those, as we know.

Ari's fans are either sneaky or pure genius, we can't decide. It seems the singer herself is very open to the chart swap, throwing her support behind the campaign.

She wrote to Twitter; "Y'all are so insane and funny and I love you. Nothing's funnier than “boycott seven rings”….. I can’t. Whatever’s meant to be will be, babies. I ain’t going nowhere."

They really are insane. To be fair, the campaign is a total win-win for pop's reigning princess.

Fans begged her to tweet the hashtag, which she did but later deleted, writing, "Are you happy now?" We're guessing they were ecstatic.

An especially devoted fan is having a streaming party to block the song, to which Ariana replied:

"This is a wild time for us, do ur thing but also like how is this our problem right now …… what the f*ck." Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored is 100 percent a stand-out hit from her new album, and the saucy music video is helping.

The gal can't escape the huge chart success, so we wish her our congrats. She deserves it with all those tunes she's dropping, and even got a Grammy out of it.
