Riverdale Season 3 Spoilers: Creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa Reveals What's to Come


Last season, Riverdale ended with Archie Andrews wrongly accused of murdering Cassidy Brooke (remember him?) and faced with the harsh reality that he might end up in prison instead of high school. Meanwhile, Veronica basically emancipated herself from her father and came away with a new business endeavor in the process: Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe. Bughead seemed to be in fine form—for once—but Betty’s sister, Polly, was a different story. The elder Cooper sibling joined a cult, and it looked like Alice is her next target. Cheryl became an honorary serpent and coupled up with Toni, while legally emancipating herself from her mother and taking control of Thistlehouse. Oh, and Hal Cooper went to jail, as one would expect if you’re the Black Hood.

Got it? Good, because Riverdale returns for season three today (Wednesday, October 10) with a whole bunch of loose ends to tie up and a brand new mystery to reveal. Damn, can’t these people get any rest?

Actually, that’s exactly how Riverdale creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa likes it. “Everyone is treating season three like it’s season one,” he tells Glamour.com. “We want this to be an edge-of-your-seat season, so we’re really excited. Unless you’re Archie, of course, who probably wouldn’t mind a little less drama.

“We’ll definitely know Archie’s fate by the end of the episode,” Aguirre-Sacasa promises. “One thing we’re doing a little bit different this year is jumping in time—three months to be exact—so when we meet [up with] Archie he’s mid-trial.” While Aguirre-Sacasa won’t reveal Archie’s odds of being set free, he will tell us plenty of other information, including some exciting news for Choni and Bughead fans. But with the news that Jughead’s mom and sister are coming on board (played by Gina Gershon and newcomer Trinity Likins), what does that mean for F.P. and Alice hopefuls? To our surprise, Aguirre-Sacasa is spilling the tea. Spoilers ahead!

Fans have dissected the teaser trailer where the core four are at the lake, riding in the jalopy, etc. Is that all a dream sequence or, if it’s real, does that mean that Archie is exonerated?

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: Those scenes really happen, and we wanted to capture this idea of stealing one last moment of youth and innocence and, honestly, summer vacation. It’s like trying to get that last day of summer vacation to be the best day of summer vacation, and that’s what went into that episode. Those scenes really happened. I wasn’t there personally, but [I heard] the water was cold. It was a really hot day the scene was filmed, so even though the water was cold, I think everyone was really down for it.

Varchie fans will get some wish fulfillment in those scenes, but going forward, which pairing will have the happier season three? Varchie or Bughead?

RAS: I think right now Bughead [is going] to have the happier season three. I will say though to Varchie fans that Veronica and Archie are proving to be very much…they’re trying to hang on to each other through the troubles in a really visceral way. Even though they could be heading towards rocks, they’re really clinging to each other because they feel so deeply for each other.

Right. And Veronica has now severed ties with her father, owns Pop’s, and went through a major transition since we last saw her.

RAS: Veronica is not to be trifled with, and Hiram is the architect behind her unhappiness and Archie’s troubles. She’s not down with rolling over and just letting him steamroll over her happiness.

Over the summer, Lochlyn Munro (Hal Cooper) told me he’ll be back this season. When can viewers expect to see Hal again?

RAS: Not in the first few episodes, but sooner than you might expect.

Should we expect him to be behind bars all season?

RAS: When we reconnect with him, he’s definitely behind bars, behind glass, behind barbed wire. He’s in maximum security, that’s for sure.

And what about Chic? His fate was left open-ended toward the end of season two.

RAS: That is buried a bit, I would say. But we haven’t seen the body. Even when you’ve seen the body, I say never say never.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Judgment Night

That’s why I have a theory that Cheryl’s uncle Claudius is really her father. I think he’s been impersonating his brother, and it was the uncle who we saw die at the end of season one.

RAS: [Laughs] That’s a theory that has been floated by a few people. It’s definitely something that’s within the realm of possibility on our show, that’s for sure.

Let’s talk about F.P. and Alice. We know from last season that Polly was trying to help Alice by drawing her into this cult, so how will that impact—if at all—Alice’s potential relationship with F.P.?

RAS: In a weird way, the farm could open the door for Falice because the farm says to be alive in the moment. Do whatever you think, burn the past, there is no future, there’s only now. So in a weird way, the farm could be seen as giving permission to Alice to pursue F.P. The bigger threat to them will be the fact that Alice is married to Hal and F.P. is married to Gladys.

Speaking of, what’s the state of the marriage between F.P. and Gladys?

RAS: They’re strained and estranged from each other. [Laughs]

Gina Gershon doesn’t appear as Gladys until December 12, which means there are two months of episodes from now until then. What will Falice’s relationship status be by then? One would assume they’d be in a relationship just to make things more complicated when Gladys enters the picture.

RAS: Yeah, I think if this wasn’t Riverdale and it was just Falice exploring their relationship, they would be in pretty deep by the time Gladys gets there. We do see them quite together and quite intimate, but Falice is also dealing with their part in a crime that happened 25 years earlier, which is sort of rearing its ugly head this season as well. So Falice doesn’t exist on a blissed-out island apart from the day-to-day trials and tribulations of Riverdale. They’re very much caught up in the season mystery as well.

Let’s move on to Cheryl and Toni. They were together by the end of the season, and Cheryl has emancipated herself from her mother and has Thistlehouse all to herself. So will Choni be moving in together?

RAS: We’re really enjoying them being the reigning queens of Riverdale High, which we’re going to play them as. They’re still in the honeymoon phase. They are kind of getting in and out of trouble with the Serpents, without the Serpents. They too will be drawn into the season-long mysteries, and, yes, there will be a discussion about Choni living together.

Women Ages 5 to 75 Answer the Question: What's the Nicest Thing Someone Has Ever Done for You?


Quick: Can you think of the nicest thing someone’s done for you in the last week? What about the past year? Your entire life? That’s exactly what we asked for the newest episode of our video series in which we ask one question to 70 women spanning the ages of five to 75. We’ve already asked what’s the most expensive thing you’ve purchased, what advice do you have for other women, and what was the scariest moment of your life.

This time we asked the large group of women to think about the kind actions other people have done for them. And as you can imagine, the answers run the gamut. While some of the actions these women recall are relatively small (getting a card from a friend after a bad day) and others are pretty big (parents paying for your college education), it’s clear the gratitude felt by each woman is equally strong.

Here are some of our favorite answers (though, honestly, they’re all incredibly sweet and worth watching the full video to hear):

“My mommy taking me to school every day.” —age 5

“They played with me when I had nobody to play with.” —age 7

“When I was asked to become a godmother.” —age 16

“My parents paying for my college tuition. I owe them big time.” —age 20 (This one was understandably repeated several times by women of all ages.)

“My stepfather taking responsibility and taking care of me.” —age 28

“One of my friends gave me transportation fare and lunch for three weeks while I started my new job.” —age 30

“My boyfriend kept track of the mileage I ran on the treadmill.” —age 43

“My husband paid off all my credit card debt.” —age 52

“My parents…giving me life.” —age 54

“Somebody made a YouTube video for me, telling me how great my life has been.” —age 60

“Forgive me when I did something wrong.” —age 66

“Small things—taking my shoes to the shoemaker without asking me.” —age 67

“Someone said to me that I should go see a cardiologist, because my heart was in bad shape.” —age 70

Though they’re certainly no statistically significant sample, it’s fascinating to hear how our perspectives change over the course of our lives and what we consider to be “kind” during different parts of our lives.

'This Is Us' Star Mandy Moore Reveals What's Next for Kate and Rebecca and the Big Three as Toddlers


The second season of This Is Us could easily be renamed This Is Us: Kevin or This Is Us: Kate, and so on. Each episode, one character gets their moment to shine—and on Tuesday’s, it was Rebecca’s turn. For Mandy Moore, it was a turning point in Rebecca’s journey: “I feel like she’s able to have that more fully flushed-out role, where she gets to step up to the plate and have some of the winning moves that usually [is reserved] for Jack. I’m really glad that she’s able to have those moments, too.”

To continue the baseball analogies, by the time the credits rolled on Tuesday’s episode, Moore had pitched a perfect game. With the help of her cast members, she delivered every gesture and action beautifully, culminating with that heartbreaking split scene in the hospital with babies Randall and Tess.

Aside from finding out how she did it so effortlessly over different decades, we had plenty of other questions, too. When will we see Miguel and Rebecca reconnect in real life, instead of just on Facebook? Will Kate name her baby after Jack since Randall didn’t? And should we get ready to know a whole other set of Pearson kids when toddler Kate, Kevin, and Randall make their debut next week? Here, Moore answers all of that and more.

On the most recent episode, we discovered that Rebecca and Miguel reconnected after eight years thanks to Facebook. Up until that point, did you know any details about how they came to be a couple?

Mandy Moore: No, I didn’t have any idea about this revelation. This was news to me when I first read the script, as was Jack’s brother being revealed. I had heard rumors of it, and it had been hinted around, but sometimes we don’t know specific details until we get the full script. I had my own running theory of what unfolded because I kind of needed those answers as an actor—so did Jon Huertas, who plays Miguel—but it did differ a little bit, obviously, from this. It’s new information for us, too.

Have you started filming any scenes where we pick up from these Facebook messages?

Mandy: No, and I don’t think that’s going to be addressed until next season. That’s what I’ve been told.

In the episode, Rebecca was wearing a wedding ring the entire time, which I assumed was from her marriage to Miguel. Obviously, we know now it isn’t. Do you think she’s been wearing her wedding ring from Jack since he died eight plus years ago, or—and hear me out—could she have gotten married to someone else during this time and been in a very lonely marriage?

Mandy: [Laughs] That’s a great theory, but no, that’s not the case at all. Rebecca really is in a terribly lonely spot, but I think she never took off her ring. I think she still considers herself a Pearson, even after she married Miguel. I mean, I’ve always sort of operated—not that it’s known or talked about, maybe it will be somewhere down the line—that she still has the last name Pearson. I don’t think she took Miguel’s name. It’s important for her to feel connected to [Jack]—that’s why she still wears the necklace—so it’s not weird she still wears her wedding ring. That’s how she feels connected to him.

Do you have any intel on what happened to Miguel’s ex-wife, Shelly? She and Rebecca were friends even after her divorce to Miguel, but we don’t even know if she’s alive in the present day.

Mandy: That’s very true! I don’t want to speculate, because I’m sure that will be addressed and talked about. Dan has told us that season three will focus a lot more on Miguel and Rebecca’s courtship, so I’m absolutely positive that Shelly will factor in. They are friends, and they are somewhat close friends. I don’t think they’re best friends, but I’m curious what happened there. At one point the couples were friends, so that’s a mystery to me.

It’s an interesting dynamic with women, too, because it’s happened before where a former spouse ends up with a friend’s former spouse after one dies.

Mandy: Oh yeah, it feels a little too convenient, though, for Shelly to have passed away. It’s probably a tricky dynamic, considering they are divorced and Rebecca and Miguel find their way together down the road.

PHOTO: Ron Batzdorff/NBC

Let’s talk about Tess’ birth, when Randall tells Rebecca he had Jack and Jasmine picked out as possible names. What’s interesting is that he and Beth chose not to name their second child, Annie, after Jack either. That makes me think that Kate will name her baby after him, which might help Rebecca and Kate connect again.

Mandy: Interesting! I like your way of thinking! [Laughs] I do! You’ll just have to continue watching this season to see how it all unfolds, but I think that’s a great way to honor her father. I definitely support that.

When will Rebecca find out Kate is pregnant?

Mandy: It’s going to be explored in the next couple of episodes. Not next week, but it will be explored in episodes 8, 9, and 10. [You’ll see] Kate telling her family and everybody’s reactions. I love that this season is starting to really connect the dots between Rebecca and Kate, and where this disruption and disconnection in their relationship stems from. But, also, I love that a pregnancy, in theory, is able to bring mother and daughter together. I hope that that’s the case for them. I want to see them put their differences aside and celebrate this really beautiful moment in her life.

Speaking of which, what was your thoughts when Kate lashed out at Rebecca following her first gig?

Mandy: The scene was super emotional for me when I read it initially. It just tapped into similar dynamics I have with my own mother, and it really speaks to how complicated it can get between mothers and daughters. No one’s right, and no one’s wrong. It just is. It’s hard to pinpoint what anybody did wrong, but yet they’re totally justified for feeling the way that they do. I don’t fault Kate for being upset with her mom, and I don’t fault Rebecca for what she did with Kate. Rebecca maybe tries a little too hard, but [for Kate] to jump down her mother’s throat…it’s like, again, it’s such a tricky, gray area where you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Before we move on to next week’s episode, let’s talk about the two hospital scenes where Rebecca met baby Randall and baby Tess for the first time. Are you able to watch your scenes when they air? Because that was one of the most beautiful scenes I’ve ever seen on television.

Mandy: Aww, thank you. I did watch the episode with my man fiancé Taylor Goldsmith because he’s a fan of the show. You’re always so excited to see everybody else’s work, but I find it hard to watch myself. I loved this episode. I love [director] Regina King, and I can’t wait to work with her again, hopefully. I loved the different time period because it’s something new and fresh that we haven’t seen before, and I love Halloween. It’s one of my favorite holidays, and it was so much fun for Milo and I to dress up as Sonny and Cher. All of it was fun to watch unfold.

That last monologue [in the hospital scene] was so tricky because we shot it in pieces. We shot the distant past first, with Rebecca putting her trepidation and fears aside and going to Randall and saying, “We’re going to bring you home, and I’m terrified because I don’t know how to do this.” Then, a week later, we shot the scene in 2008 with me talking to baby Tess for the first time. I delivered those monologues to baby dolls, which makes them even more tricky. There was one shot with baby Randall, I think, where it was a real baby. But with babies, you can only shoot with them for like 20 minutes total. The baby Tess monologue was all delivered to one of those animatronic, little robotic babies that moves and vibrates. It’s really weird. But, yes, I’m really moved by people’s reactions. Don Roos wrote such a remarkable script; as an actor, to get a piece of dialogue like that is what you dream about. To be able to do this sort of weird, like, multi-monologue in two different time periods, intercut with each other, is such a dream. It was a challenge, and I was really excited about it.

PHOTO: Ron Batzdorff/NBC

Next week we see the big three in their toddler years. Should we get used to seeing a whole new set of kids that will be part of the show going forward?

Mandy: I don’t think that these children in particular…though they are a big part of this coming episode. As you can imagine, it’s really hard with kids. They are one and two years old, and everybody has a different energy that they bring. Some kids love being on a set and around all these new people; some don’t, and that’s totally understandable. I’m sure anytime we have toddlers moving forward, they may be different children episode by episode, so I don’t know if I would get too attached to seeing one face or another. But, yes, we’ll be meeting the kids at toddler age next episode. It’s so much fun, it really is. And the next episode is so beautiful, so moving. It’s a different time period that’s really critical—like a year in to the fostering process of baby Randall, of trying to officially adopt him, and some of the road blocks we faced that are really unexpected. It’s a really beautiful episode with some great guest actors. I think people are really going to love it.

Gigi Hadid Just Revealed What's in Her New Maybelline Collection


PHOTO: Instagram / @gigihadid

With a modeling portfolio like Gigi Hadid’s, sometimes it’s hard to know where her true aesthetic lies. That’s just the way modeling works: you take on the identity of whatever brand you’re working with and rep the lifestyle they ask. And while she frequently posts straight-up cool snapshots from her life, she’s undeniably mysterious. So when news broke that Hadid was taking her Maybelline partnership a step further, and developing her own full collection? No one knew what to expect, other than the obvious: it was going to be really friggin’ pretty. And with the products revealed today, that assumption is safely confirmed.

Where most collabs stick to new spins on pre-existing products, the partnership is a line-up of new products revolving around Hadid’s world-traveling lifestyle. According to the brand, that means an eye contour palette, tinted primer, black gel eyeliner, black liquid eyeliner, black fiber mascara, an iridescent liquid strober and matte lipstick.

The first promo images also dropped today, featuring Hadid in nude lipstick and inky black, winged eyeliner.

It’s a sharp twist from the glowing look she showed off from the collection’s palette, which you might remember from blinding you.

That duality might just be intentional: the shots that Maybelline, Hadid, and her makeup artist, Erin Parsons, have posted all center around the cool-toned East Coast collection. The brand says that it was “inspired by Hadid’s love of the perfect nude,” and we have a sneaking suspicion that means there’s more to come.

Over on Ulta’s account, they posted a photo of tawny, warm-toned swatches from Hadid’s West Coast Glow palette, teasing that there are actually “two full collections” along with the Jetsetter palette. We’ve reached out to the brand for confirmation and will update when we hear back, but it would make sense. Hadid was born and raised on the West Coast, but spends tons of time in New York, so she would know both coasts pretty well—and the Jetsetter palette could be the go-anywhere bridge that connects them.

Nothing like some makeup detective work to start the weekend. The full collection (and everything that entails) will be available at Ulta on October 22. The second we know more, we’ll keep you posted.

Wells Adams Tells Us What's Happened Between Him and Danielle M. Since 'Bachelor in Paradise'


Just like a DVR that cuts off the last two minutes of your favorite show or when you miss a UPS delivery by a minute, Wells kissing Danielle M. right before she left on Bachelor in Paradise was maddening enough to give up the show altogether. Think about it: The most authentic and passionate kiss on this show happened right before our eyes, and then she just…left! How do you walk away from that?! (OK, yes, I know she was leaving for a good cause: to do pediatric work in Africa.)

But maybe the movie—er, the love story—isn’t over yet. Bachelor in Paradise finished filming less than two months ago, and Danielle is already back in Nashville (where, conveniently, Wells resides too). And as of August 22, the two were pictured together celebrating newlyweds Carly Waddell and Evan Bass’s baby news.

Now, Wells and Danielle have been close for years; just because rumors are swirling and the Internet is freaking out about a potential romance doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be able to hang out anymore as friends. But, really, who has this kind of a kiss and doesn’t give a relationship a try?

So, I went straight to the source—that would be Wells—to get to the bottom of that kiss and find out if there’s truly hope for these two.

Glamour: That kiss between you and Danielle was hotter than the weather in Mexico. When did you know you were going to kiss her?

Wells Adams: Probably long before the show started, to be fair. Danielle and I have been friends for years. I went on The Bachelorette, and she went on The Bachelor, and I remember thinking, “Oh, this is weird. We’re both doing the same thing. If there was ever a world in which we were on the same show, I think I’d want to make that happen.” I think she probably felt the same way. We went on a date years ago and nothing ever materialized from it, so it was one of those things where we gotta see what it is like. When she was leaving, it was like, “I might as well do it now.”

Glamour: She gave us her reaction on camera immediately after, but we never heard from you.

Wells: I don’t really talk about it on the show. [And until the rest of the cast saw it on TV] no one knows that I did it!

Glamour: Why didn’t you tell anyone else?

Wells: Well, because the first thing I said when I got there was, “I’m not here to date anyone. I’m not here to go on dates. I’m not here to steal anyone’s girl.” I didn’t want to tell everyone that and then have them be like, “Oh my God, he’s totally full of crap. He’s going to try and hook up with who I’m dating.” Also, there’s a little bit of fun of knowing what everyone’s reaction will be when they see it air—not only the people on the show, but also back home in Nashville [where Danielle and I live]. [I knew] our little group of friends were going to freak out when they saw that.

Glamour: So here’s the big question: Is there hope for you two?

Wells: Yes, there’s definitely hope for us. Everyone needs to put everything into perspective, though. Everyone was dating on the show and being romantic. Our little story [between me and Danielle] started at the end of it [when she was about to leave]. And then she went to Africa for a couple weeks, so we were way behind. I realize America is really shipping this thing, but we are so far away from that, mainly because we haven’t been around one another. It’s a weird thing coming home and watching the show back and feeling so much pressure from everyone else to make something you’re not sure is there to begin with. And I think the magnetism needs to happen naturally and not forced from outside forces. I understand everyone wants us to be a thing and that’s wonderful and beautiful, but if it’s going to happen, it needs to happen because we come together, not because everyone else is shipping us so hard on Twitter.

Glamour: When did you first talk to her after she got back from Africa?

Wells: I never had to give up my phone in Paradise, so once she left and got her phone back, we talked like hours afterwards.

Glamour: And I assume you talked about the kiss, so what did you say?

Wells: I think she said, “I always wondered what that would be like.” I said, “I always wondered what that was going to be like!” And then I think I said, “How was it for you?” I think she said, “It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be!” [Laughs]

Glamour: Was there talk about when is this going to happen again?

Wells: It was like, “Alright, what is your itinerary?” So I said, “When you get back to Nashville, we’ll figure it out.”

Glamour: So have you figured it out?

Wells: No. I mean, literally she just got back a couple weeks ago.

Glamour: OK, but that’s a couple weeks ago already!

Wells: But we’re now out in Los Angeles…let’s just see where this is going to go. We’re right now in the middle of this storm [of media attention], and it’s a little awkward and weird. Before this, we used to go out all the time and we were just friends. We’d go to show’s together. Now when you go out, it’s a little weird because people recognize us and assume something. That just makes things awkward. So there are a lot of questions that need to be answered internally between us before we figure out what’s going on.

Glamour: Let’s talk about the puppets for a second, which you clearly are skilled in. Were you at all worried how the rest of the cast would react?

Wells: I think the reason why I was a really good bartender was because no one took me seriously. That’s just my personality. Any of these people would agree that Wells is the class clown guy. I never told anyone about the puppets either, so I was really excited to see what they’d say about that [when it aired].

Glamour: And?

Wells: Everyone loves it! It’s hilarious! It’s the stupidest thing in the world, and it’s so funny! And it gives nice context to a very…such a crazy situation that I can give context to in like 10 seconds of puppetry, which is nice.

Glamour: So if there was a puppet version of Danielle and Wells, would they get their happy ending? Do you want to see this happen? [Laughs]

Wells: I would like all puppets to be happy and find happiness. We’ll see! Who knows? I’ve got no answers for you, even though I know you want them.

Glamour: Then how about this: Is this the end of your Bachelor journey, or do you see yourself participating in more of the franchise spin-offs? More Paradise, or Winter Games, or even as The Bachelor one day?

Wells: They haven’t asked me, but I will never ever quit the bartending job [on Paradise]. That was my favorite thing I’ve ever gotten to do. I used to bartend in college, and that was the most fun experience of my life.

The Bachelor in Paradise finale airs next Monday night at 8 P.M. ET on ABC.
