Archie is a student at Riverdale High School, a budding musician, and a football player for the Riverdale Bulldogs. His team number was number nine, given to him by Coach Clayton. This number was originally Jason Blossom's jersey, and so Archie took it upon himself to retire the jersey in Jason's honor and took the number seventeen in its place. Archie used to be the Captain of the football team but decided to defer his status as captain to Reggie Mantle after he felt more of an affinity with his music. Archie has been best friends with Jughead Jones and Betty Cooper since childhood. Betty develops feelings for Archie, which she ends up revealing to him in season 1. However, he does not reciprocate her feelings and decides to stay just friends with Betty, which causes minor temporary strain in their relationship.

Betty's family life was very tense, as her mother was extremely controlling and sometimes emotionally abusive, which led to her sister having a mental breakdown and being sent to live in a group home run by nuns. Though her parents claimed this was caused by Polly's disastrous relationship with Jason Blossom, Betty knew better. As the only remaining daughter in the Cooper household, she was placed under immense pressure by her mother to be perfect in every way.

Hermione grew up in Riverdale and she came from a poor, working class Latino family. During that time, she would date Fred Andrews. However, she found herself drawn and attracted to Hiram Lodge, the wealthy boy whom her mother didn't approve of her dating because she felt he was a scrub and not decent for her daughter despite his wealth. Hermione found herself in a love triangle with Fred and Hiram in high school, but in the end, she ultimately chose Hiram over Fred. Throughout her high school years, Hermione worked at local businesses such as the Bijou and Spiffany's. During her youth, some would have described Hermione as a mean girl, but flashbacks suggest that she was a rebelling Catholic girl who wore glasses and a Catholic school girl uniform. She even believes her current misfortune was karma finally catching up to her. After she broke up with Fred, she married Hiram Lodge and the two moved to New York City. Together they had a daughter, Veronica. After Hiram was arrested for fraud and embezzlement, Hermione and Veronica fled New York City and moved back to Riverdale. After the scandal, the only remaining property that was not seized because it was in Hermione's name was the luxurious apartment building, the Pembrooke, where she resides with her husband and daughter.

After she secretly made the decision to pursue a solo career, Valerie Brown and Melody Valentine disbanded the group. Her father, who was a man of music, gave her the name Josephine, after the late singer Josephine Baker. Because of this, she often struggles to gain his approval while also trying to impress him. Unlike her father, Josie's mother Sierra is far more encouraging of her talents, especially where her band and music are concerned. They both enforce "black excellence", especially when the choice of the band members are concerned.


Alice Cooper

Alice Susanna Cooper (née Smith) (portrayed by Mädchen Amick) is the ex-wife of Hal Cooper, mother of Charles Smith, Betty, and Polly Cooper, the grandmother of Jason and Polly's twin babies and the editor and co-owner of the local newspaper The Riverdale Register.

Jones, Alice Cooper, Hermione Lodge, Penelope Blossom, Hal Cooper, Hiram Lodge, Mary Andrews, Tom Keller and Sierra McKoy, and briefly dated Hermione until she chose the rich kid, Hiram over him. During those high school years, Fred and F.P. spent an entire summer fixing up an old DW bus, which they later came to called "The Shaggin' Wagon". Following that, he and F.P. formed a band their senior year, which they named "The Fred Heads". Apparently, this attracted the attention of a lot of ladies for Fred. He later went on to marry Mary Andrews and she would give birth to their first and only child, Archie Andrews. However, that did not last. He and Mary separated, which was not amicable as the two had trouble being in the same room together without a mediator present and Mary moved away to Chicago. Luke Perry died of a stroke in March 2019, and as a result Fred Andrews died in a hit-and-run while assisting a stranger.


Hiram Lodge

Hiram Lodge (born Jaime Luna) (portrayed by Mark Consuelos) is the ex-husband of Hermione Lodge, father of Hermosa and Veronica Lodge and the CEO and President of Lodge Industries. Hiram supposedly grew up in Riverdale, where he was known as the filthy rich kid. During this time, he dated Hermione Gomez, who broke up with Fred Andrews to be with him. Along with building a relationship with Hermione, he forged a rivalry with Clifford Blossom during his high school years. It was later revealed that while attending Riverdale High School, Hiram was the wrestling state champion, earning him a trophy for his great achievement. After graduating, he and Hermione moved to New York City, and some time later got married and had a daughter, Veronica, and they all lived together in New York living a wealthy, luxurious lifestyle. However, their fancy life and luxurious living did not last forever as Hiram was arrested for fraud and embezzlement. Despite his imprisonment, Hiram still ran his businesses and criminal empire from behind bars. He has been released from prison and has now taken up residence at the Pembrooke in Riverdale with his wife and daughter. Since his release, he has secretly purchased Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe, hiring Pop Tate as manager in exchange for his silence. Hiram is also business partners with Fred Andrews, working on the SoDale project together, an arrangement that was put in place by Hermione, in an effort to legitimize Lodge Industries. He has also taken over Riverdale by purchasing all of the businesses and lands within the town, including Southside High (which he had intended to use to build his for profit prison), the Riverdale Register, and Sunnyside Trailer Park just to name a few. He also intended to have Fred Andrews run for Mayor of Riverdale but when he declined to run under the Lodge's request, he had his wife Hermione run for Mayor instead. Hiram's intention of having Hermione run for Mayor was so that he could have complete control over Riverdale with an iron fist. Hiram continues to operate his devious schemes and have control over Riverdale until eventually, it all comes crashing down in season three. Hiram ends up being arrested by Sheriff FP Jones and he is imprisoned in the very prison that he built and becomes its first inmate. Despite being in prison, Hiram is still able to manipulate things to his own accord as he had Hermione arrested by the FBI to get back at her and Veronica for betraying him. In addition to being a very wealthy, powerful business man, Hiram is also a crime boss and a drug lord. Throughout season 2 and 3, Hiram has successfully been peddling Fizzle Rocks and Jingle Jangle throughout Riverdale.

By that time, F.P. had married and become a father to two young children, whom he and his wife would frequently take to the Twilight Drive-In-however, they often could not afford tickets for everyone, so the kids would hide in the trunk until they parked.

Due to this, F.P. became involved in a string of criminal activities which would often end with him getting arrested and Fred having to bail him out. Eventually, he became too big of a liability for their company and was forced by Fred to resign. After losing his job, F.P. began drinking heavily, which led the Jones family to fall apart. F.P.'s wife left him and took their daughter with her to Toledo to live with the kids' grandparents, and Jughead began living out of the projection booth of the drive-in, where he had found employment. F.P. ended up living alone at the Sunnyside Trailer Park, where he continued drinking.
