Chic

Charles "Chic" Smith is a recurring character on the second season of Riverdale. He is portrayed by Hart Denton.

Early Life
On the night that Hal and Alice were crowned King and Queen of their homecoming dance, the couple were witnessed fighting by FP Jones; Alice had just told Hal that she was pregnant. This revelation led to an argument as Hal wanted Alice to have an abortion believing they were not ready to be parents, however, Alice was unwilling to do so.

The following day, Alice checked herself into the Sisters of Quiet Mercy, and five months later she gave birth to a baby boy which the sisters arranged to be adopted quietly. Alice then kept the existence of him a complete secret.
