Proceed with caution, guys and gals, this fan theory will break your heart and gross you out at the same time. It also contains some MAJOR spoilers from the series finale of ‘Riverdale’.
You’ve been warned!
Now, that’s out the way, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty, shall we?
By now, you guys would have seen the last episode of ‘Riverdale’ and, strewth, what an episode it was!
The scene with Cheryl was heart breaking and we STILL can’t get over Fred’s shooting. Of course, one of the biggest OMG moments from the last episode was the revelation that Betty and Polly have a brother!
Whaaaaatttttttt?!
Obviously, fans have been in overdrive trying to work out who Betty’s potential brother could be.

One main theory is that the baby isn’t Hal’s. As we already know, it was FP who saw Alice and Hal fighting at their high school prom.
Could they have been fighting because Hal found out the baby wasn’t his and it’s actually FP’s?
FP also bought the topic up at dinner, which makes us believe he knows about Betty and Polly’s secret sibling.
If that wasn’t enough to convince you then wait till you hear this… we already (sorta) know Alice and FP have a past.
They’ve shared a few flirty lines in past episodes and their romantic past would explain why Alice hates Jughead sooooooo much.
alice: the fight that fp saw, i had just told your father i was pregnant…five months later your brother was born
it’s fp’s baby

Hmmm….
@Sam48star If it turns out the son Alice Cooper gave up in high school is FP’s child that would be beyond #Akward for #Bughead on #Riverdale #Barchie pic.twitter.com/FCvzRz3N2K

It makes sense!
give me all the alice and fp history. I WANT IT
— nikki (@halsteadsass) May 13, 2017
We want answers ASAP!
Of course, if FP is the father of Alice’s baby then it’s possible that we’ve already seen Betty’s bro in previous episodes.
Could he be a member of the Southside Serpents? Does FP know where he is?
Some fans even believe that the ‘mystery baby’ could be Jughead. Ewwwww, we know, we know, it grosses us out too.
This show is getting more and more ‘Game Of Thrones’ by the minute.
@JRadloff @WriterRAS Please don’t make him.. I don’t want jughead and Betty to be related.. Not more incest.. Please.

Yuck!
If the riverdale writers make jughead and Betty related in any way I will seriously stop watching the show
— cia✨ (@xsuggles) May 13, 2017
We feel ya…
And so I think Jughead and Betty will also end up being related which means they probably won’t be able to be together and I hate that sooo

#riverdalefinale Jughead and Betty better not be siblings because I’m gonna jump off a cliff pic.twitter.com/1CG4rMsOYb

OMG!
Why do I get the feeling they’re going to make Jughead and Betty related on Riverdale? The Lannisters are in good company now I suppose.

Say it ain’t so…
I swear if Jughead and Betty turns out siblings. #Riverdale pic.twitter.com/dPFSNReJVc

Errrrrrr…
Jughead and Betty are siblings, I’ve called it #riverdale
— gabriella hanna (@gabriellahanna1) May 13, 2017
Nooooooooooooooooooo!
That said, we’re not too sure how Betty and Jughead could be direct siblings. Betty did say that her brother would be in his mid-20s – so that completely rules Jughead out, doesn’t it?!
The second main theory that’s floating around Twitter is that Joaquin is actually FP and Alice’s child. Very little has been said about his backstory and we’re 99.9% sure that showrunners haven’t even told us his full name yet.
Hmmmm… we think this one is way more convincing. After all, Joaquin has bright blue eyes – like the Coopers. Plus the actor behind the character, Rob Raco, has even teased some things about the theory.
FP + Alice = who…? #Riverdale
— Rob Raco (@robraco) May 12, 2017
Sneaky!
Alice had a child with FP, that child is Joaquin
Needed to document this because so far my theories pan out

What if Joaquin is Betty’s long lost brother? #riverdale #riverdalefinale

Something tells us he could be…
GUYS OH MY GOD IS JOAQUIN ALICE AND FP SON? IS HE BETTY’S OLDER BROTHER? IM SHOOK ASF RN WHY IS ROB TEASING US LIKE THIS #Riverdale https://t.co/GvCPNZF1cP

Why, Rob? Why?!

How will this affect Bughead, though?!
