She is also reduced by many to her money, which proves how little some people watch the show. Not to mention how often Veronica is excluded from the narrative - fans, writers, and media acting as if the whole thing is a love triangle between Betty, Archie, and Jughead even though for most of the series, Archie and Veronica have been in a committed relationship. Veronica kissed Archie during a game of spin the bottle after knowing Betty for a matter of days before their friendship even truly started in the pilot and will be crucified for it still to this day, yet Betty gets a pass for kissing Veronica’s boyfriend after years of friendship, while the two were in a relationship.
Unfortunately, the double standards don’t end there.

What’s funny about this is, you never see Betty blamed for her serial killer father’s actions or any other character blamed for a parents’ actions, the argument is only used against Veronica as if she hasn’t been actively trying to stop her father from harming those she loves and the town of Riverdale for the entire series. We have seen Camila Mendes bring such a depth to this storyline in subtle ways, the character struggling with the fact that at the end of the day, this is her father. What’s really disgusting about this is that people will blame Veronica for her father’s actions, as if she’s not a victim of his manipulation and abuse. And honestly, in season 2, it was an interesting plot, but we’re in season 5 now - it’s time to give it up. Even in season 1 before we even met Hiram, he was a major part of her storyline. She is the only member of the core four to receive this treatment. While there were dramatic instances added to attempt to pretend it was a new, refreshing storyline (like Veronica’s secret half-sister, Hiram’s illness, and Hiram sending Archie to prison) at the end of the day, all the writers do with the character in terms of an individual plot is pinning her against her father.

The thing is for the whole series so far, Veronica has been given the same exact plot for all five seasons. We also get to see Veronica experience what it means to fall in love, something she never learned from her parents, her relationship with Archie Andrews still ongoing in the current season. She was determined to reform herself after her father’s arrest and it didn’t take very long for her to succeed, bettering herself and learning what real friendship and a home meant.
Despite the fact that she has had one of the most important evolutions on the show and has been there since the pilot, she is often overlooked and over hated, for no real reason besides Archie continuing to choose her.īack in season 1, we were introduced to Veronica Lodge, former ice queen of New York.
For me, that character is Veronica Lodge on The CW’s Riverdale, which is based on the Archie Comics characters. Everyone has that one character they relate to or see themselves in everyone searches to find someone who looks like them on screen.
