Riverdale’s latest guest stars are keeping these roles all in the family.
The often talked-about but yet unseen Mrs. Gladys Jones, and her precocious daughter Jellybean, will make their first onscreen debut on Riverdale Season 3 Episode 8. Both roles are played by Gina Gershon and Trinity Likins, respectively.
Ever since the early days of Riverdale Season 1 Episode 4, we knew that Gladys left town with Jellybean for Toledo, Ohio. They packed up their life, which left Jughead homeless since he didn’t want to live with his Southside Serpent father. (Oh how the times have changed!)
Well, the absence will now be a thing of the past.
Based on the preview photos for Riverdale Season 3’s Midseason Finale, Jughead is reuniting with the other half of his family. Will their dynamic feel like old times or will there be family drama?
