And though one question had been answered that night, that it was Clifford Blossom who killed Jason, a new mystery loomed over Riverdale. Why had he done it?
~ Jughead Jones about Clifford Blossom.

Clifford Cochrane "Cliff" Blossom is the main antagonist of the first and seventh seasons of the CW soap opera Riverdale. He was the father of Jason and Cheryl Blossom and the spouse of Penelope Blossom.

He was portrayed by Barclay Hope as an adult and by Trevor Stines as a teenager.

Biography[]

At the beginning of the series, Jason was found mysteriously murdered, and the mystery was the overall arc of the first season. Clifford appeared genuinely upset and angry about his son's murder and even joined in on search parties for him.

However, it was later revealed that Clifford was secretly a drug lord who smuggled drugs with the trucks from his front business. He was grooming his son Jason to inherit the family business as well as the criminal business but when he found out, Jason rejected his father’s line of work and decided to run away and start a life with the mother of his unborn children. Fearing his son would expose his criminal business, Clifford hired a very hostile and violent member of the Southside Serpents, named Mustang to kidnap and torture Jason. Clifford arrived at the location where Jason was kept. Clifford took the endgame t ring from Jason and shot him in cold blood to keep his secret. Clifford framed FP Jones for the murder by blackmailing him into a confession otherwise his son Jughead would be murdered too.

Jughead and Betty were then led to a bag by Kevin who's boyfriend and FP's ally who was also in the Serpents Joaquin tipped him off about. The bag contained Jason's jacket and after Betty found a hole in one of the pockets she found a USB drive in it and plugged it into Archie's laptop where she, Archie, Jughead, Kevin and Veronica all watched the video inside it whilst in Archie's garage showing the murder of Jason by Clifford. Betty called Cheryl and told her about what happened leading her to confront her father whilst he was eating his dinner, his wife Penelope was horrified to discover the truth as well, Betty's mother Alice after seeing the video took the flash drive to Sheriff Keller and the mayor.

In order to avenge Jason, Penelope poisoned Clifford to death and staged it as suicide. After his supposed suicide Alice wrote an article about the truth so everybody could know the truth about Jason's death and said the Cliff took the coward's way out by killing himself to avoid the consequences. After this Penelope grew colder towards Cheryl and didn't care at all about her daughter's feelings or problems. This led Cheryl to attempt suicide to get away from her awful family and to be with Jason, however she was successfully rescued by Archie and the others.

Clifford was also mentioned during Betty's speech at the town anniversary party saying that they all had to move on and take a fresh start and let go of the past. This inspired Cheryl to burn down her parents' mansion in order for her and her mother to get a fresh start much to the dismay of the latter.

In 1955, Clifford is mayor of Riverdale and the father of Cheryl and Julian (who replaced Jason as Cheryl's twin brother in this universe). He hired a serial killer called The Milkman to kill Ethel Muggs' parents and Brad Rayberry to keep them from exposing the palladium bomb called "Project Moloch" that he was working on and planned on selling to Russia.

He arranged for Archie and Cheryl to marry after finding out about their alleged sexual encounter. However, these plans are called off when Cheryl breaks up with Archie. He leads Riverdale High's Bulldogs to victory and tried to get Reggie off the team, but is forced to change his mind when the Bulldogs threaten to quit the team along with Reggie. When Julian was injured driving off a cliff on Halloween night, Clifford had no care for his son and continued leading the Bulldogs without him, even threatening Cheryl when she stands up to him. He also has Mrs. Thorton, a teacher at Riverdale High, fired by framing her as a communist, with Penelope temporarily taking over the class until Geraldine Grundy becomes the new teacher.

After finding out about Cheryl's relationship with Toni Topaz (thanks to Evelyn Evernever), Clifford and Penelope start a homphobic campaign on Riverdale High listing all the homosexual students. Clifford threatens to take away the River Vixens from Cheryl if she doesn't cooperate with their plans, but Cheryl refuses and eventually drops out of the River Vixens, choosing Toni over being a cheerleader.

Eventually, Cheryl manages to expose her parents for Project Moloch and has them arrested.

Trivia[]

  • Cliff was apparently one of the primary reasons why Hiram Lodge was arrested. This is most likely due to him tipping off the authorities, etc.
