In a relatively short time period, the C.W’s new Riverdale series has covered lots of ground.
There’s been a shirtless, pronouncedly muscular walk brought to you by J.K. Apa. (Contractually obligated, as work un-friendly blog Fleshbot reports.)
And now, gay character Kevin Keller (Casey Cott) has his first gay kiss in the Archie series. It’s a good one.
In the fourth episode, which aired this week, viewers were privy to a gay kiss between Joaquin (Rob Raco) and Cott’s character.

It’s short but re-watchable, so get to it. One Million Moms is gonna be so pissed.
Here you go:

The five old hags (aka One Million Moms) are slipping lately. Hallmark had an ad for Valentine’s Day of two guys kissing and nothing yet from OMM complaining. Maybe they realize their complaints are falling of deaf ears.

Ha ha – you referred to Kevin Keller, the gay Archie character, as “Kevin Kline.”
But you meant Kevin Spacey, right?
Heywood Jablowme
Darn, you fixed it. Well, thanks, I guess!

This show is pretty cute. I grew up reading Archie so I’m glad they updated it and brought it back to life. Honestly wasn’t expecting him to get any action at all. The CW seems to be getting a lot better with their gay characters actually having storylines and screen time.

Pleasantly surprised with this new show.

those ‘million?’ moms were pissed from the beginning because this isn’t the archie/leave it to beaver/ father knows best they’re used to. it’s interesting but not great. i like how they’ve changed it from a kiddy comic to a cross between ‘90210’ and ‘pretty little liars’ (i’m saying that even though i never watched either of them). and i will admit archie is hot, which doesn’t hurt.

I’m 2 episodes behind. I was hoping/ expecting he was going to have a DL relationship with the jock who he was hooking up with at prom

I’m glad he didn’t! He even addresses why he doesn’t want the jock to happen. Enough of the gay boys pining for the closeted jocks who want to get laid on the DL. Today’s teens are openly dating in many places, so let’s show some of that.

i always figured it would be reggie.
