@KBM 515 Riverdales plot isnt based off of the comics. Only the characters are the same, everything else is different. Have you ever actually read the comics?

Just rewatching it for a millionth time :D

[@HorrorDiva01]

I dooo, he was the reason I started watching the show (in 2012 in Argentina never heard of it) I was zapping and MTV's was passing old shows and he and rory were arguing and I shipped it so hard, jnflrtunetley it was the episode were he left to never come back 😭😭😭 (then we got Logan and he kind of made me feel better.)

[@saemahbegum]

I abruptly stopped watching once I found it they don’t even get together and he was not in the show anymore

[@HorrorDiva01]

@@saemahbegum it was so saddd, On the revival they mentioned him but Chad wasn't there 🙈🙈🙈.

[@aridaniela26]

YES! 😊

[@manon7588]

He has such a hypnotizing voice omg

[@Indiegaze]

I remember being a teen watching Chad in the first season of One Tree Hill, being a high school student. Him playing an adult is traumatizing...

That’s hilarious

nah that’s not true(i still watch it tho idk y)

[@zarahshabs7936]

God I hope so

[@Lily-mx2tk]

HarleQueen after watching the finale with everything being connected, I believed it was just made up as the show went on. Now realising this is all connected, the writing is actually quite clever. For once I’m excited for Riverdale s4!

I suggest not doing that because it gets really dumb and bad

No should jump back on I personally like season 3

You can completly skip s2, its a mess and nothing too important happens other than black hood thingy

[@aubreycoco8175]

kaaayy true, but there will always be that one person that still thinks Chick is Betty and Jug’s brother...😂

[@hayraexo3248]

@kaaayy one thing I don't see people talking about, which I don't even know why, but um technically wouldn't Betty and Jughead be related.

[@CriztyGabySpanicfan]

Hayden Eubanks no cause betty's mum isn't related to jughead and FP isn't related to betty

[@oliviazhu7741]

Messy S mhm yup

[@ParkJimin-iu6fr]

Edgar and Hiram are the hottest villains so far tho. That Evelyn theory was great tho. What if, Riverdale writers gets their ideas in these type of videos?

[@marynaablahad1187]

Park Jimin which Evelyn theory, the one where she is his wife or the step daughter??

[@ParkJimin-iu6fr]

Maryna Ablahad where she was the wife.

[@baguette1117]

That’s my theory: that Riverdale writers watch these videos, pick their favorites, and base the show off stolen ideas. I’m coming for you, writers, just you wait!

[@bucky-gj2762]

What if Alice is secretly an FBI agent investigating the farm and the farm is harvesting organs and chic is still alive and is the gargoyle king and Penelope blossom is the one who organised everything including the black hood and g&g

[@ChrisWhite-tr6ge]

that is what happens

[@donyazare]

[@elizabethsydney5664]

That’s so smart! Lol, you posted this after the last ep. You can’t fool me 😂

[@hadiahabibi2637]

OMG HOWWW DID YOUU KNOWWW (sarcasm)

[@aliseml]

You watched the season finale and pretended you didn't and summed it up into a 'theory'. Didn't you?

[@marleenmandul981]

I bet that the writers stumble on a fan theory and be like: "This is a good idea! That's how we will end the storyline!"

[@katelynreynolds4644]

I thought the same 😂 if they ever get writers block, all they have to do is have all the fans tweet them their theories, then the writers can pick their favorite ending or plot. And the fans will never know that they were asked for theories because there wasnt an ending yet 😂

[@linnalexa1274]

He’s so calm but still so entertaining to watch♥️

[@penelopepegg7834]

I can't tell if his demeanour probably changed a lot, or he legit played a character in Cinderella Story, and decided to play by his own demeanour in Riverdale.

[@arianagrandefan6515]

The Evelyn wife theory was so right that’s so funny

[@duhneesy293]

Off topic but ever since I noticed him in Cinderella story I literally fell in love. He is by far my biggest childhood crush

The theory of Penelope is kinda right

[@pinkgiraffe378]

The theory about Evelyn is so spot on though!

[@dishs0app]

Omg the Evelyn thing was sooo spot on lol

[@ameliajane1821]

The way he comes across is such a dad bless ❤️😭

[@lachjb1806]

If any of you guys are wondering if jughead is actually dead. The one rule of riverdale is there not dead without a body. This works for the black hood in the van and sherriff manedda. Also, if hirem lodge still has pops, doesn’t that mean that Veronica still has the Whyte Wirm

[@rojinhatakeuchiha2880]

I see him as Tristan in Gilmore girls

Tristan Dugray!!!!!!!

My sister watched the entire show the moment Chad Michael Murray was announced to star in it. Riverdale fans may be commuted but we One Tree Hill fans are the true MVPs.

[@wesperslvr]

Evelyn Evernever's theory was spot on 👀

[@sorelharrison7097]

I was watching riverdale and just worked out Chad was on cinderella story 😂

[@aminabegum7573]

Is it wierd that my theory on Evelyn was correct. But I think that Cheryl actually was like her mom and was adopted, making Jason not her twin and instead maybe he had a twin brother and he is dead but his brother is posing as him, e.g. The GK. Not only that if it is true then I would be shocked since Riverdale always aims something at someone and then completely changes it! Like boi.....also sorry for ranting!

don't watch riverdale just watching this because i still fancy cmm
