Popsugar Entertainment Luke Perry Tweets About Riverdale's Season 4 Tribute to Luke Perry Riverdale Fans Mourn Luke Perry's Death After Season 4's Emotional Premiere: "We Miss You" 11 October 2019 by Brea Cubit First Published: 10 October 2019 Image Source: The CW Warning: This post contains spoilers for Riverdale's season 4 premiere. Riverdale's fourth season premiere, titled "In Memoriam," featured a deeply emotional tribute to Luke Perry. After the death of Perry, who portrayed Fred Andrews in the series, showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa shared his plan to honour the late actor in a special way, and he certainly delivered. During the episode, fans said goodbye to Perry's character as it's revealed that Fred dies in a hit-and-run accident after pulling over to assist a stranded driver. The person he stops to help — and saves from an oncoming car, thus sacrificing himself — is later identified as a woman played by Perry's former 90210 costar Shannen Doherty. It was a heroic end for Perry's beloved role, and fans couldn't hold back their emotions as they reacted to the heart-wrenching episode. One Twitter user took note of the costars' natural responses to Fred's death, writing, "Just knowing anytime they shed a tear, it wasn't just for Fred, it was also for Luke just shook me, well done." Another user also commended the show's homage, saying, "I really have no words for how amazing yet heartbreaking this episode is. What a beautiful way to remember such a beautiful soul." Look ahead to read more reactions to what might truly be Riverdale's best episode to date. Rest in peace, Fred Andrews. 💔Rest in peace, my beloved Luke Perry. 💔Beautiful episode. Kudos to the cast and crew for creating such a fitting tribute for such a wonderful and incredibly loved person.

Archie’s character is so selfless and honorable and it’s because Fred raised him to be that way. It’s never going to be the same without Fred but I’m happy that Mary is back now to be there for Archie. #LukePerry— Miranda (@mdawn37) October 9, 2019 5 / 20 Fred Andrews will always be apart of Riverdale. 👼🏻thank you luke perry #Riverdale #LukePerry pic.twitter.com/HGkh6jzX2n— 🔪 𝖺𝖻𝖻𝗒 🔪// #𝖳𝖧𝖤𝖫𝖠𝖲𝖳𝖮𝖥𝖴𝖲2020 (@nightbloodblake) October 10, 2019 6 / 20 This episode wasn’t about relationships or drama.
