Riverdale slated to welcome its first openly gay resident.

Apparently Veronica sets her sights on him and he tries to let her down easy and, being Veronica Lodge, she refuses to take a simple no for an answer.

The only thing in the article that I found remote surprising was the news that Archie is now dating Valerie.  I thought they married him off last year.  To Veronica. 

I'm so confused.
