The 80s teen star has extended her stay at "Riverdale." Molly Ringwald plays the role of Mary Andrews, Archie's (KJ Apa) estranged mother. The show announced the surprise on Twitter with a photo featuring Ringwald, Apa and fellow cast member Cole Sprouse.
"Riverdale" originally slated Mary Andrews as a guest recurring role.
She previously appeared on three episodes which all aired during the later part of the series.
In the first season, Mary just returned from following her dreams without Archie or her ex-husband Fred (Luke Perry). The finale then included a mysterious cliffhanger regarding the fate of Archie's dad, who got shot at the end of the episodes.

Fred Andrews: dead or alive?
Mary previously asked her son to live with her. Since Fred is now in danger, it is unknown if Archie will join her or not. Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa pointed on how the possible death might affect their family especially Archie.
Sacasa added the upcoming season will feature a "Bruce Wayne" moment for the lead star. Similar to the comic book character, Archie might go on a journey as he experiences a desire for revenge until he finds his true self yet again. "That journey is for sure the spine of season two," Sacasa told THR.
"The question of who shot Fred and why is absolutely at the forefront of the beginning of our season."
A dream wedding in the works, zombie Jason back from the dead?
Just Jared Jr. reported on the behind-the-scenes that hints on a possible union between Archie and Veronica (Camila Mendes). Archie wore a kilt while Veronica was dressed in a huge wedding dress.
Their entourage also followed the Scottish/blue/cream-themed nuptial.
Aside from Molly Ringwald, we might even see the return of cast members including Luke Perry. It is unknown if he will still be alive since the cliffhanger ending of Season 1. However, the most eye-catching detail is the appearance of the late Jason Blossoms (Trevor Stines). This hints at the possibility that this might just be a "dream sequence" for one of the main characters. Will Jason really come back from the dead? Is Luke alive or dead? What's next for Archie and his gang?
"Riverdale" Season 2 will premiere in October 2017 on The CW, Stay tuned for more updates.
