But did life imitate art? You’ll probably never hear them give a tell-all about how the pair went from co-stars to more than friends, but we’ve managed to spot some rather unorthodox elements about Hollywood’s apparent new “It” couple…

Is the lack of communication and trust between Archie and Veronica a concerning issue in their relationship?
Riverdale has become a fan favorite show with its exciting storyline, unexpected twists and turns, and captivating cast. One of the most talked-about couples on the show is Archie and Veronica. While their on-screen chemistry has been widely celebrated, there are some strange things that people tend to overlook about this couple.
First and foremost, Archie Andrews is technically still in love with his childhood sweetheart Betty Cooper. Despite this, he and Veronica Lodge carry on a complicated and somewhat tumultuous relationship. While some may argue that the heart wants what it wants, others question the longevity of this relationship based on its foundation.
Another oddity is the drastic personality change Veronica undergoes when she is around Archie. Known for her strong-willed and independent demeanor, she often becomes softer and much more submissive when she’s with Archie. Some fans have even commented that it almost appears as if she’s a different person altogether.
One of the most concerning aspects of this couple is the unrealistic romantic standards they set for young viewers. Archie and Veronica’s relationship is often portrayed as passionate, intense, and all-consuming. While it may make for great on-screen drama, it’s important to note that this type of relationship isn’t always healthy or sustainable in real life.
Additionally, some fans have pointed out the lack of communication and trust between the two characters. This is especially evident in season two when Veronica keeps secret after secret from Archie, ultimately leading to a breakdown in their relationship. Instead of working through their issues, they simply move on to the next thing, without ever really resolving their past conflicts.
Finally, it’s worth mentioning that the Archie and Veronica relationship is based on a comic book, written decades ago. While some may argue that it’s been “modernized” for the TV show, there’s no denying that the source material comes from a different time and place.
While Archie and Veronica may be one of the most popular couples on Riverdale, it’s important to acknowledge some of the strange and concerning aspects of their relationship. Viewers should be cautious not to romanticize the toxic behaviors often displayed in their relationship and instead strive for healthier and more realistic relationships in their own lives.
