Lili, who stars as Betty, has now admitted that she has no idea how it may play out for fans, and that there are definite "opportunities for the kids to leave Riverdale".

She said: "“I mean, this is senior year. When season four wraps, I'm pretty sure the kids will have graduated, so as far as where it goes from here, I don't know.

"I think there's opportunities for the kids to leave Riverdale."

Howver, speaking to ET, she was also optimistic that things may not change as much as fans fear, adding: "But there's also opportunities for them to stay, and I think there's a lot of unfinished business for a lot of them."

However as the show reached it's mid-season finale, it ended on a major cliffhanger as it appeared the show had killed off Cole Sprouse's Jughead Jones.

Viewers saw a flashforward scene which appeared to show Betty holding a rock in her hand while Jughead lay unconscious on the floor, with Archie holding on to him and asking: "What did you do Betty?"
