Riverdale season 4: Jughead Jones could be killed off by Charles

Riverdale’s fourth season has been teasing the upcoming “death” of Jughead Jones (played by Cole Sprouse) since season three. While it is as of yet unclear whether Jughead really is going to die, or indeed who would do it. But viewers may have gotten a little closer to the truth this week.


The final scenes of this week’s episode saw a surprising return of Chic (Hart Denton), who was locked up for his crimes in season three. However the context of his arrival was overwhelming, as it was Charles Smith (Wyatt Nash) who went to visit the criminal. During their conversation it was heavily hinted the pair were in a relationship, leaving Charles’ allegiances to his sister, Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) in disarray. The pair also discussed the horrific murder of the Shady Man - which Betty eventually helped Chic cover up back in season two.

Could Chic and Charles devise a plan to kill Jughead in an attempt to pin his murder - and the murder of the Shady Man - on Betty? If so, this would exonerate Chic for the murder, and would allow the lovers to reunite.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “Cheryl just drowned a doll because she thinks it’s haunting her family. “All while her dead brother who she had preserved or stuffed or something is sitting there still with a bullet hole in his forehead… what has this show even become #Riverdale.”
