4. Dropping The Lodge

Another character that found herself in the middle of a dilemma was none other than Veronica Lodge - who had to deal with a storm of paparazzi because she wouldn't pick a side in her parents' cases.

But after a pointed conversation with her father, she realised that all of this drama was simply because she was a Lodge. And with that, she publicly revealed that she would be taking no sides in the cases going forward and began a new era by changing her surname to Gomez - her mother's maiden name.

A major change for Riverdale's resident 'It Girl' but one that promises some compelling character work going forward. And as Ronnie has finally realised that she's better off without any references to her father, it would be nice if the show could do the same.
