One of the main attractions of the upcoming new season of 'Riverdale,' is definitely a flashback episode where the teen stars will play the teen version of their parents. The episode, titled 'The Midnight Club,' is a homage to the movie 'The Breakfast Club,' and Lili Reinhart, who plays Betty will portray the younger version of her TV mother, Alice Cooper played by Mädchen Amick.

Amick starred in the original 'Twin Peaks' as Shelly Johnson, so Reinhart researched photos of the 1990 cult hit for inspiration bringing back the pop culture phenomenon of yore for her look as young Alice.
