i saw a post today with an article that described fp as “the most loveable parent in riverdale”, which – i am sorry, no. skeet ulrich plays probably one of the hottest parents in riverdale, but that is not the same thing. fp as a character is an openly terrible father who spends the show’s run alternating between being so abrasive and uncontrollable that his son prefers to be actively homeless instead, helping to dump a teenager’s body, and feigning interest in his son’s life so he can scope out how much the kid knows about that illegal activity, not to mention physically and verbally abusing his son, then condoning and later encouraging his son’s recruitment into the criminal gang that he runs.
