There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when the Luke Perry tribute episode aired. It was an emotional watch for the fans, but we can’t even begin to imagine how hard it was for the cast.

They didn’t have to act because the pain and heartache was all too real. Speaking ahead of the premiere, Lili Reinhart, who plays Betty Cooper on the show, penned a heartfelt tribute to her co-star.

"I only wish he were here to see how many lives he touched with happiness and laughter. I know he’s watching from above. We love you, Luke,” the Hustlers star added.

Fellow Riverdale star, Camila Mendes said it was hard to express how she was feeling ahead of the season four premiere.

“We put everything we have into this episode. We wanted to honour Luke’s memory in the most sincere and respectful way possible. This episode is as hard to watch as it was to make it,” she wrote.

They will pay tribute to both Luke and his character in this Thursday’s episode of Riverdale. The trailer for the episode had us in floods of tears so there’s no doubt we’ll be blubbering wrecks by the time the end credits roll.

The episode will see Archie come to terms with his father’s death as the residents of Riverdale attend Fred’s funeral.

Riverdale is the show we love to hate. The teen drama has got to be one of the most complicated and cheesiest shows on TV but we just can't get enough of it.

We've been itching for the show to return since that creepy season three finale.

We have so many questions that desperately need to be answered. The main one being- where on earth is Jughead? Is he even alive?

Who knows.

We can all breathe a sigh of relief as the autumn time is officially here which means most of our favourite shows are set to return, including Riverdale.

We only have to wait a few more days to wait until Archie, Betty and co. return to Riverdale as it hits Netflix on October 10.

Season four will feature an emotional tribute episode to Luke Perry, who played Fred Andrews on the show until he tragically suffered a stroke last year.

There's no doubt fans will be taken aback by the emotional episode.

A brand new episode of Riverdale will air every Thursday at 8 am.

The next season of Riverdale will begin with a tribute to the late Luke Perry.

Luke played the much-loved character of Fred Andrews and his death in March of a stroke shocked cast, crew and fans worldwide. 

Fred was seen in the last episode of season three, advising his on-screen son Archie (KJ Apa).
He didn't feature in the remaining episodes but they were dedicated to him.  

Now show creator Robert Aguirre-Sacasa has announced that season four will open in Memoriam, which will honour the actor and his character. 

He took to Twitter writing, ''Probably the most important episode of #Riverdale we’ll do this year, if not ever. A tribute to our fallen friend. Thankful for this opportunity to honour Luke & Fred.''

Robert spoke before about how they will address Fred in the show.

He told Entertainment Tonight in March, ''You know, honestly, we are I think all still in shock and are still processing and grieving. We know that we have to address it in some way, but we’re giving ourselves a little bit of time and space before we figure out the best way to honour him.''

He continued, ''Luke was, is, and will always be a big part of Riverdale. We’re kind of a family and when a loss like this happens, you carry it always. It changes and it hopefully becomes a little less painful as time goes by, but you’re changed. When I was with the crew, I said, “it will never be the same,” and that’s true because Luke was such a part of the show.’

We are looking forward to seeing how they acknowledge Luke as the great actor and man that he was.

The world was shocked and saddened by the passing of Riverdale star Luke Perry in March of this year.

The 53-year-old suffered a massive stroke and died several days later. 

The actor, who had played Fred Andrews for three seasons, had three episodes of the season left to film. 

The dilemma then was – how do the creators address it?

Do they write his character out, give an unexplained absence or kill him off?

They decided that for season three, they would just leave it be.

The show said that Fred was away on business and Molly Ringwald came back as Archie's mother Mary so that the teenager had a parent to take care of him.

So, what's gonna happen in season 4 then?

Showrunner Roberto Aguirre Sacasa revealed what was in store.

He said, ''When Luke passed, it was such a shock, and it was devastating and we kind of have to deal with the emotion of that, and then you have to figure out everything that comes next.''

He continued, ''We will definitely deal with it and address it on the show…we’ll do it at the top of Season 4. We just didn’t want to rush in and do something before we had fully figured it out.''

He added, ''We’d already written basically the end of the season, so rather than try to squeeze in something that’s so monumental and so important, we thought, ‘Let’s take the time to think about what we want to do, and do it right.'”

The good news is that Molly Ringwald looks like she'll be set to step into a series regular role.

Roberto  said, ''[We’ve told her], ‘You’re welcome back anytime, as often as you want and as much as you  want.''

He continued, ''We actually already had her scheduled to come back to Riverdale to visit Archie and Fred. When the tragedy happened, she said, ‘If you need me to stay, I’ll stay.’ And I said, “We’d love you to stay’…We’ve talked about Molly having a bigger presence next year to help her son.''

We'll have to sit tight as we wait for another season – hopefully Fred Andrews will get the send-off he deserves as he was such a beloved character.
