Archie Andrews – Riverdale

I know a lot of folks have a problem with redheads. There’s enough ginger jokes going around that you’d think you just couldn’t find a super sexy one. Archie Andrews is proof that just isn’t true at all. KJ Apa, the actor who plays Archie, maybe be a brunette in real life, but he’s rocking those fiery locks like nobody’s business. It doesn’t hurt that you could grate cheese on those abs either.

Caught in the  middle of an undeserved love triangle, Archie is stuck between the good girl next door, and the sophisticated rich girl just in from New York City. Turns out, sweet and innocent isn’t his thing, but the way he lets Betty down easy is a thing of beauty. These days you’re lucky to get a break-up text, much less an emotional conversation on the front sidewalk of your house.

Archie is a real gentleman. Even when he and Veronica were forced to wait out their “7 minutes in heaven” in a closet, he waited for her to make the first move. To some, he might be a little too bland, but vanilla isn’t always  a bad thing. I’ll take a man who has the courage to look me in the eye when he’s rejecting me or keep his hands above my waist the first time we kiss any day.
