September 29, 2021September 29, 2021 Sophia Soto

It’s been very obvious what Veronica (played by Camila Mendes) and Archie’s (KJ Apa) relationship arch has been since Riverdale’s seven year time jump started.

Was Varchie’s decision the right call? Let’s break it down and discuss. Warning: for the remainder of this article, we will be getting into heavy spoilers; so only continue reading if you’ve seen episode 5×18.

September 26, 2021September 27, 2021 Sophia Soto

For so many seasons, I have felt beyond frustrated with Veronica Lodge’s treatment as well as the storylines she’s given on Riverdale.

In all honestly, I think its the best storyline the writers could’ve done with her character for a few reasons.
