too. ”

Season 1 Episode 13 The Sweet Hereafter Veronica and Jughead

Jughead and Veronica at lunch

The relationship between Jughead and Veronica is developing. They first became
acquainted through mutual friends Archie Andrews and Betty Cooper, and soon they
became friends themselves. However, they are rarely seen hanging out alone without the
rest of the group. What they have in common is that they both have problems with their
relationships, which caused them to break up with their partners at one point.

The relationship between Jughead Jones and Alice Cooper is rather complicated due to
her hate for the Southside Serpents and the Jones family's ties with them. While
Jughead's father, FP, has been a Serpent since his youth, Jughead's recent initiation into
the gang only further complicated their relationship. However, she is forced to deal with
him regularly due to his relationship with Betty. Alice doesn't trust either of the Jones
men, seeing them as nothing more than trouble makers, often fearing that Jughead's ties
to the Southside are not only a bad influence on Betty, but that one day she may end up
being dragged into something she had no business in because of her relationship with
him. Alice claims to like Jughead, but her actions have often proved otherwise.

Trivia

He was living at the Twilight Drive-In until its closing, then moved into a forgotten
cupboard under a staircase at Riverdale High School. Afterward, he moved in with the
Andrews family before ultimately being transferred to foster care after his father's arrest.

Six years prior to the series, he lived at 3021 Norlin Cresent, Riverdale, USA 68247, as
listed on his juvenile records.

In Jughead's dream sequence in "Chapter Seven: In a Lonely Place", Jughead, Archie,

Veronica, and the Cooper family appear in their original Archie comics outfits.

Jughead practically ignores his birthday and hates celebrating it.

Jughead's dog in the Archie Comics was named Hot Dog. In "Chapter Thirteen: The Sweet
Hereafter", when the South Side Serpents visit Jughead at FP's trailer, they are
accompanied by a dog with the same name.

Notes

In both the comics and animated series, Archie and Jughead are best friends despite their
differing personalities. However, Riverdale explores a more realistic friendship between
the two teenagers.

Jughead's beanie in the television series is based on his famous "whoopee hat" from the
comics.

Jughead's sexuality has been a topic of discussion since the creation of the series. In one
iteration of the comics, he is asexual; in another, he is aromantic, but is portrayed as
neither aromantic nor asexual in Riverdale. Cole Sprouse supported the idea of Jughead
being asexual in Riverdale because it would be a positive example of asexual
representation, but the writers chose not to explore that angle.
