Ah noooo!

Riverdale fans – we have some pretty devastating news.

Two of the main characters in the show have announced that they are leaving.

Skeet Ulrich, who plays FP Jones,  and Marisol Nichols, who playsHermione Lodge, are leaving Riverdale, and we’re devastated

“I’m incredibly grateful for the friendships I’ve made on Riverdale, and I will miss seeing everyone on a daily basis,” Ulrich said in a statement given to TVLine, who broke the news.

“I’m proud to have been part of such a talented group of people, in front of the camera and behind. But I’ve decided that it’s time for me to move on to explore other creative opportunities.”

Speaking about her own exit, Marisol said:

“I had an incredible time bringing Hermione Lodge to life and working with my amazing cast, who became family.”

“We had so many wonderful times together during the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. We really do have the best fans ever. I am looking forward to the next chapter and am excited about the future.”

And while there’s no word yet as to how exactly the characters will be written out of the show, we have no doubt it will be dramatic.

It usually is…
