With a show like "Riverdale," it can be difficult to execute major storylines without letting a few things slip through the cracks. And when TV shows leave questions unanswered or leave major plot holes open, eagle-eyed viewers have no problem taking to the internet to air their frustrations and discuss these perplexities.
Here are some inconsistencies and minor plot holes on "Riverdale" that you might not have noticed.
Warning: Major "Riverdale" spoilers ahead.
Betty Cooper doesn't actually seem to live next door to Archie Andrews.
On "Riverdale," Betty Cooper and Archie Andrews are childhood friends and one of the major parts of their relationship is that they'd grown up living next to each other. Viewers have also seen Betty look out of her bedroom window directly into Archie's bedroom window, which is only possible if they are actually next-door neighbors.
Based on footage of the homes "Riverdale" has shown viewers, it doesn't seem possible that these two friends live next to each other.
If you look at the establishing shots of the Andrews' house, their home is yellow and it is between a gray house and a blue house. On the other hand, the Coopers' home is white and is only located next to a light-green house that, evidently, does not belong to the Andrews family.
Plus, because of how Betty can directly see into Archie's window, it also wouldn't really make sense if their houses were back-to-back.
Cheryl Blossom and Jason Blossom are twins but they are not in the same grade.
On the first episode of "Riverdale," Veronica, Archie, and Betty discuss how they are all about to be sophomores at Riverdale High. Over the course of the season, viewers learn that Cheryl is in the same class as Veronica, Archie, and Betty, which seems to signify that she is also a sophomore.
Later, viewers learn that Cheryl's missing twin brother Jason is in the same class as Betty's older sister, Polly. Since Jason and Cheryl are twins, some viewers don't think it makes sense they'd be in different grades.
Many fans have speculated about this, with some suggesting that Jason was so smart he skipped a grade or that Polly was held back a year or two. Some also speculate that Cheryl is older than Veronica, Archie, and Betty — she just happens to share classes with them.
In one episode, Veronica snaps her necklace, spilling pearls everywhere. In reality, her necklace probably would not break like that.
On episode nine of season one, Veronica breaks her signature pearl necklace with one simple tug. When it breaks, all of the pearls spill onto the floor.
In reality, if Veronica ripped off her pearl necklace it probably wouldn't have sent pearls flying — chances are it would've plopped onto the ground in one piece.
Most pearl necklaces actually have small knots tied in the chain between each pearl to prevent the necklaces from breaking so easily and to stop the pearls from touching each other, because when pearls touch they can look more worn and discolored over time.
