When Riverdale season one ended, we didn’t know if Fred Andrews (Luke Perry) would live or die and no one in the cast, or crew was telling anyone anything about Fred’s fate.
We found out last night that Fred did indeed survive, so how did Luke get around the set where there are paparazzi hiding around? Easy. He dressed up like Madelaine Petsch!
“They’ve been disguising me as Madelaine,” Luke told EW after the premiere last night.
He added, “Long red wigs and stuff like that. I told them [the hair] needed to be long enough to cover the beard so we went with Mads.”
So, if you might have seen a pic of Madelaine, it might have been Luke instead!
We are so happy to report that Fred Andrews is indeed ALIVE after the premiere of Riverdale‘s second season premiere.
While there were a lot of moments in the premiere where Fred (Luke Perry) was touch-and-go, especially when he was dreaming of all the big moments in his son Archie’s (KJ Apa) life he would miss — Fred pulled through and it was then the entire world let out a big sigh of relief.
“I didn’t want him [showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa] to tell me [if Fred would make it],” Luke told EW after the premiere. “I wanted him to leave the door open for what he creatively thought was best and if that means one thing then that’s what it means and if it means something else then that’s what it means.”
So what’s going to happen next?
“I think Fred is traumatized. I really do,” Luke says. “I think he’s sort of going through the motions and he hasn’t connected back into what his life is.”
“I can only imagine if something like that were to happen to you, you hit the pause button in your life and it makes you think about a lot of different things. He definitely comes out of it a different guy.”
TELL JJJ: What did you think of the season 2 premiere episode?

Casey rocked a t-shirt, ripped jeans, a green jacket, and a beanie, while Luke, who plays KJ Apa‘s TV dad, wore a a plaid shirt, vest, and baseball cap.

KJ Apa is really close with his TV dad, Luke Perry.
The Riverdale star explained in a new interview that he bonded with Luke while seeking advice about how to handle his sudden stardom, and how to handle haters.
“He said, ‘Y’know, this kind of thing happens all the time, it’s nothing to do with you.’ But I went to him and I spoke to him and he helped me,” KJ shared, citing when his film A Dog’s Purpose came under fire.
He added about Luke, “He’s the biggest legend, and obviously he went through the whole thing on a way bigger scale than even Riverdale, you know Beverly Hills 90210 was massive, so I think he is the best guy to talk to, and I’m really close with him.”
SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE SET PHOTOS FROM RIVERDALE!
The cast of Riverdale is back at work filming the second season – and there’s a wedding!
While it’s likely some kind of dream sequence, Camila Mendes – aka Veronica – can be seen wearing a wedding dress.
She was joined on set by the whole cast, including likely groom KJ Apa as Archie, who was wearing a kilt alongside Cole Sprouse.
Some of the ladies were clearly bridesmaids in blue. Lili Reinhart, Ashleigh Murray, and Madelaine Petsch all looked gorgeous in the royal hue.
Also in attendance for the fictional nuptials were Casey Cott, Molly Ringwald, Luke Perry, Charles Melton, and Hayley Law.

The cast of Riverdale gathers together for a stunning group shot at the 2017 Vulture Festival in New York City on Saturday (May 20).
The cast — KJ Apa, Luke Perry, Marisol Nichols, Casey Cott, Camila Mendes, Madelaine Petsch and Lili Reinhart — chatted up their show just days after the CW Upfronts.
KJ spoke to EOnline about that frightful finale, which found dad Fred (Perry), bleeding out in his arms after being shot — and he doesn’t know if Fred will actually survive.
“Fred living or dying is still unclear,” he shared. “whether or not he does live or die, Archie’s life is about to change, for sure.”
But Luke has some faith in showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
“I have a lot of trust in him. I’m happy to go wherever he takes me. If he kills me, he kills me. If he don’t, he don’t!”
But, we NEED Fred in all of season two!
The ladies of Riverdale doll up in the chicest outfits for their Paleyfest event in Los Angeles last night.
Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Madelaine Petsch, and Ashleigh Murray joined KJ Apa, Cole Sprouse, Casey Cott, with parents Madchen Amick, Luke Perry, and Marisol Nichols at the event to chat about what’s ahead on the show.
The biggest take away? Jughead is probably headed for a breakdown (since you know, his dad was just arrested for murder).
“I think obviously as time goes on and these characters get darker and darker and the secrets get more and more revealed, he’s one of those characters that’s going to really struggle like the rest of the town and dealing with the fact that this town can be a place of legitimate darkness,” Cole says.
He adds, “But he’s experiencing it very first hand, which of course is going to be even more complicated. I think narratively, Jughead’s most touching narrative is Episode 12. Episode 11 is a very heavy Jughead episode, but Episode 12 is even more so.”
FYI: Camila is wearing an Iorane skirt.
