'Riverdale' stars Mädchen Amick and Skeet Ulrich have been teasing BIG THINGS for Alice and FP in Riverdale season 3.
In case you missed it, the Riverdale cast took over San Diego Comic Con this past weekend (July 21/22) and they spilled SO MANY DETAILS about what's going to happen in season three. From parent flashback episodes to what this season's main mystery will involve, there was a lot of new information to digest. There was also a lot of tea spilled on all the different relationships that'll be happening this season and BOY was it a plentiful harvest for all the Falice stans out there.
Mädchen Amick and Skeet Ulrich, who play Alice Cooper and FP Jones to perfection on the show, have been relentless in their trolling, teasing and behind the scenes Instagram stories (seriously, we're gonna need the tea on that ring ASAP) but now it finally seems like we're about to get some answers. Ladies and gentlemen, according to all reports, it sounds like Southside Bonnie and Clyde™ are indeed BACK ON THEIR BULLSHIT.
Here's everything we learned about Alice and FP and the state of their relationship going into season 3:
Speaking to multiple outlets, Mädchen and Skeet pretty much confirmed that Falice will have a lil' somethin' going on almost straight off the bat when we pick up in Season 3. In an interview with MTV, Mädchen confirmed that "Falice is alive" before Cole Sprouse followed up with - and this is a direct quote - "alive and erect." DO WITH THAT INFORMATION WHAT YOU WILL.
Throughout the whole weekend, teasers about the relationship between the two characters were spilled, words like "frolicking" were thrown about and it sounds like we'll finally get some kind of "confirmation" about what exactly happened in that trailer at the end of 2x17. (We mean, we been knew but we'll accept the confirmation with open arms anywayyyyy.)
The real tea, however, came when a fan asked what would happen to Betty and Jughead if Alice and FP actually got together and according to show-runner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, we'll find out in episode three. YES, IT'S GOING TO BE THAT SOON.
It wasn't made clear WHAT we find out about in episode three but it sure does sound like Bughead is gonna find out something about their parents that they'd rather not know. Whether that means they'll find out that they used to date/are currently doing bits/have a freakin' child together, remains to be seen. If it's all three at once... whewwww, pour one out for Bughead.
But don’t get too hyped just yet because while it’s definitely about to kick off, it is NOT going to be smooth sailing for the couple - there's going to be a lot of forces at play that'll be keeping them apart too. The first one? Well… there's the very small, almost insignificant issue that is FP’s wife.
After a vague promise and a lot of fan speculation, it’s now been confirmed that Jughead's mum (Gladys, as she's named in the comics) and sister Jellybean are officially on their way to Sunnyside trailer park. Assuming Alice and FP actually get together/are together in episode three, it looks like we might only get 5 episodes worth of spicy Falice antics because Mrs Jones will be arriving in episode 8 or 9 to ruin the party. Please start emotionally preparing yourselves NOW for a knock at the trailer door right at the end of the mid-season finale from you know who.
And the other thing that'll surely throw a spanner into the works? Cult Leader Edgar Evernever. Yep, we’ve still got that very sinister promise of the cult leader who arrives in Riverdale to help Alice cope with all her woes. Casting for the role is still underway but it's been said that he'll be arriving very soon.
So there you have it, Falice is C O M I N G. It's official. The ship to end all ships is officially about to leave the dock. Make sure you prepare the life rafts though, sounds like we're gonna need 'em.
