“Riverdale” hosts a dynamic roster of characters, all based on Archie Comics. From 2017 to 2021, Skeet Ulrich played FP Jones, the absentee father of Jughead Jones, played by Cole Sprouse. Though he was rough around the edges, he ultimately endeared himself to both Jughead and the audience. Naturally, when Ulrich announced his exit from the series, fans wondered how his on-screen son felt about the major news.
“I think it’s easy, as an actor, especially on a long-term project to start feeling like, creatively, you’re repeating the same motifs or, or whatever it is,” Sprouse told Variety at the time. “But in truth, Jughead was a much more prominent character than FP was on the show. So, I don’t think I’m really qualified to talk on that because to compare and contrast our two positions is sort of fruitless.”
As for whether or not there’s any bad blood between the former costars, Sprouse made it clear where he and Ulrich stand. The Jughead actor explained: “Skeet’s truly a second father to me, so I’m, like, ride or die for that guy. So, anything that makes that guy happy is something that makes me happy.”
