She could tell when someone was a threat.
For Archie, he realized his skin was impenetrable, that he had the strength to punch through walls.
“We like to call them gifts, not superpowers,” showrunnerRoberto Aguirre-Sacasasays.
“They have started to manifest abilities that go beyond the natural world.
Those gifts, those abilities, I would say do exist outside of the known natural spectrum.”
Jughead (Cole Sprouse) just learned he’s almost entirely deaf.
But is that the end of the story?
Could he still develop a gift of his own?
Without spoiling anything, it isRiverdale," Aguirre-Sacasa says.
“It is very rare for us to not make a crazy zag when everyone expects us to zig.
The show’s first hour back did answer one question, though.
Hiram Lodge (Mark Consuelos) is dead.
“He’s as dead as anyone onRiverdalehas ever been,” Aguirre-Sacasa says.
“Even when characters are dead, they come back sometimes in flashbacks or dreams.
I’ll say this: Mark Consuelos isn’t dead onRiverdale, though Hiram pretty much is.”
Riverdaleairs Sundays at 8 p.m.
