Riverdale Report: We Call for To Talk About Kevin Keller
Fans of Riverdale have reveled in creator/Archie comic writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s twisted take on once cutesy characters like Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead. In CW’s scintillating teen drama, Betty and Veronica are less likely to cat fight over the affections of that doofy redhead, and more likely to call out slut-shaming and precise weirdo revenge with hot tubs and maple syrup. Instead of downing burgers and being a silly sidekick, Jughead is getting the girl (Bughead forever!) and leading an amateur investigation into the murder of slain high university jock Jason Blossom. And Archie’s there too. Yet as much as I relish in every ep of Riverdale, can we seize a moment to lament for Kevin Keller?
On Riverdale Kevin was introduced right away as the gay best confidant of Betty Cooper, urging her to “take that ginger bull by the horns” and avow her crush on Archie. Then, as soon as Veronica Lodge swanned in like a Disney villain in all capes and cat-eyed liner, he was hers too. Per the TV trope of “gay optimal friend,” Kevin is ever-ready to quip when a slice in the tension is nee
“Sex Education” is the horniest episode of Riverdale to date, and that’s a high bar to surpass! I mean, less than three (3) minutes in, and we have Cheryl Blossom scooping the pleasant juicy fruit of a papaya — LITERALLY.
The episode truly begs the question: WHY NOT JUST Produce EVERYONE BISEXUAL YOU COWARDS? Indeed, the entire indicate of the episode seems to be that any pairing goes. There’s something for fans of Barchie, Bughead, Varchie, Vughead, and all the lovely petite heterosexual ships that sound like nicknames for weed strains. The plot is thusly: The teens of Riverdale receive a rather incomplete, college administration-approved sex education lesson and are then sexually awakened by a spoken word and dance act by Toni Topaz at The Dark Room, the town’s local beatnik hangout, prompting them to acquire sexy dreams and also a real-life makeout party under the tutelage of makeout maestro Veronica Lodge. As a reminder in case any of that was confusing, the characters are indeed high schoolers again and also are in 1955, because of a magic comet that made them time explore and forget their previous lives.
As a result of this decision to be se
Overview
Archie Comics enters TV and while the show is much better than the really horrible TV movie (don’t look it up), it’s a dim ‘subversive’ take on the world. Everyone has hidden secrets.
They kept gay Kevin Keller, but Jughead is no longer asexual (or perhaps is not yet asexual), and the very first episode gave us a faux-lesbian kiss with Betty and Veronica. After one season it was too-soon-to-tell.
Season two got surpass with the addition of Toni Topaz as an out bisexual recurring ethics and the coming out of main character Cheryl Blossom. By the close of season two Toni and Cheryl were in a cute and distinct relationship. Sadly Riverdale jumped the shark not long after and has been pretty weird ever since. How weird? Well, Cheryl kept the stuffed/taxidermied body of her lifeless twin in the basement.
The series continued to get even weirder and weirder, complete with allowing possession by gender non-conforming ancestors so they could have sex and save the world from a meteor. And then they were all rocketed to the 1950s.
The show ends with Riverdale as a town, beaten in time. They reboot from the 1950s and reside out their lives f
PITTS: A gay character in Riverdale? What's the large deal?
And what shall we say about the reality that there is to be a homosexual in Riverdale? You know where Riverdale is, of course. It lies at that junction of wholesomeness and Americana where, for almost 70 years, it has been home to Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Jughead Jones and the other eternal teenagers of Archie Comics. Last week, the company announced a new addition to the cast. In September, it said, in Veronica 202, Kevin Keller debuts in a story that finds the titular ruined rich girl mysteriously unable to get his attention despite using all her feminine wiles.
"She's not so bad," Kevin confides to Jughead. "I'm just not interested in dating her.

It's nothing against her. I'm gay." And what shall we say about that? A handful of those who commented on CNN's Web site didn't possess to think twice. Or, for that matter, once. One vowed to prohibit Archie Comics from his or her home, in order to protect children from "perversion." Another moaned, "This is crazy, why do they have to bring gay people into everything."Of significantly more interest was a piece on Salon.com by Douglas Wolk, who has writte
I've been obsessed with Riverdale since episode one. Partly because I love my CW shows, partly I love the drama and the story telling.
Since episode one, Kevin Keller, the unapologetically gay character, has been around. Season 1 gave him a boyfriend/girlfriend, but as the murder mystery took the forefront, he was kind of just there. Even in the first two episodes of Season 2, he was just there. I almost forgot about him at first due to the cliffhanger from Season 1. Yet on the latest episode they put him front and center.
Riverdale is a quaint little town. It creates the stark background against the murders and darkness of the story lines for Season 1 and 2.
Coming from a rural town, it wasn't easy being gay. I didn't even officially approach out till I moved away. Many of us can relate to that, and if we were out in a rural setting it always wasn't easy. Hook ups were hard to come by and things were done hush hush. Most of us knew of the local cruising site, whether we went or not.
Riverdale tackled this issue with Kevin cruising in the local forest, even though a murderer was on the loose. His top friend Betty Cooper tried to intervene to receive him to st
