Worst TV Couples of All Time: The 100’s Bellamy and Echo, Riverdale’s Veronica and Archie and More

Missing the mark. From The 100 to Riverdale, not every TV couple can stick the landing when it comes to selling a believable love story.Fans of the iconic Archie Comics were in for a wild ride when The CW adapted the story into a teen drama.

The series, which premiered in 2017, followed a group of friends who came together to uncover the dark secrets that exist within their town.

Along the way, the core four characters ended up in various love triangles.According to creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, he wanted to introduce a cohesive story that didn’t make the audience root for a divide in the friend group.“It was much more important for me to have Betty and Veronica be real friends, not bitchy frenemies,” he explained to The Wrap in 2017. “The truth is, Archie, Betty and Veronica will all have romantic story lines that don’t lock us into the love triangle — not at all during season 1, at least.”Aguirre-Sacasa noted that the original comics inspired major changes in his own storytelling. “There’s a reason the comic books have been around for 75 years,” he continued. “There’s a reason why even shows that aren’t Riverdale have love triangles.

That will always be a little bit a part of it, but it’s not my bag. I don’t want Betty and Veronica to be fighting over Archie.
