The Riverdale cast mourns: filming halted after the death of Luke Perry

Crying emojis in our group chat yesterday. Luke Perry has passed away. Ah, Beverly Hills 90210 actor. A classic, although I've never seen it. Riverdale So? Uh, it was still in the planning. Luke Perry. I always find it very silly when you feel like the only one who doesn't know who that is. But then I see his photo flash by and think: shit, this man.

Suddenly passed away due to the effects of a severe stroke, leaving behind a wife and children. When I read things like this, I wonder how it is that I see news reports about some neonazi who has been hiding in the mountains for years and can live to be 94, while hardworking people in the prime of their lives can be struck by fate. Filming of the popular Netflix series has been temporarily halted after his death, allowing the cast and crew the chance to mourn. The creators, who now have to process Perry's death into the series, thanked him for his contribution to the success of Riverdale. ‘You were a cheerful and energetic person,’ they wrote in a statement. ‘You will be missed, but your legacy lives on forever.’
