The show's creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa posted a behind-the-scenes shot of the cast on Twitter.

He said: "Going through pictures on my way to set. From the early days. With Luke in the middle. Our heart, always.

"Tonight's episode of #Riverdale finds Fred doing what he does best - helping Archie.

"It is dedicated to Luke, as all episodes will be for the rest of our run."

Perry's death sparked an outpouring of grief, with fans and co-stars paying tribute.

His 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty shared a tribute on Instagram, saying "processing" Perry's death was "impossible right now".
