‘Riverdale’ Star Skeet Ulrich Reveals the Surprisingly Hilarious Story Behind That ‘Traumatic’ Cliffhanger!

bronwynn:

ET: This episode ended with a gut-wrenching cliffhanger: FP
walking up to Betty and the Serpents holding what looks to be Jughead’s
lifeless body. When you read that in the script, what was your reaction?

Skeet Ulrich: I hope he diets. [Laughs] I was like, “I wonder how heavy Cole is?” In fact, actually [the Riverdale executive
producers] called me and they were like, “Can you carry Cole?” I got a
call from the writers’ room, like, weeks before they even wrote it, they
were like, “Can you carry Cole?” And I was like, “Yeah, I can carry
him.”

And then they were like, “Well, can you go over to his
trailer and send us a picture of you carrying him?” And they actually
sent a P.A. to come take video of me picking Cole up.
But in terms of
reading it, it was traumatic. It’s every father’s worst nightmare when
their kid’s being hurt.
