Thought I’d just put something out there about Barchie.
I am not fussed at all about them being a thing after seven years if that’s where the show plans on going. If we put it in perspective relationships made in the first episodes never last, and that’s why it most probably won’t, why Veronica and her husband won’t and why Jughead and Jessica won’t.
I was thinking that each relationship in season 5 is a lot like Pretty Little Liars season 6. There’s Veronica and her husband Chad like Hanna and Jordan, Jughead and Jessica like Toby and Yvonne and Betty and Archie are very much like Spencer and Caleb. It’s all very similar and I very vividly remember all the characters ending up with their first loves in PLL so I would not worry.
Then again i’m not a Riverdale writer, thank the lord, and honestly they messed up the time scale already so maybe they’ll forget they’ve already have four seasons of development. Either way I just thought I’d show the similarities of the two shows and that really there’s nothing to worry about.
