Taking the Fifth

'Well, here’s one spoiler for what happened during Riverdale’s time-jump: Kevin Keller got hella swole. Both Kevin and Casey Cott--are KILLING IT this season. The world is not ready for Episode 8    Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa

Now, I want to believe Riverdale creator and writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, but the show has let me down before.  I've been complaining on a fairly regular basis about the show's lack of writing for Kevin (Casey Cott) since season two.  I've continued to DVR the show, but barely watched the last couple of seasons.  I thought season 1 showed a lot of promise, but the story telling has been all over the place since. 

There's been a lot of on-line chatter about Casey Cott not getting much screen time, and a fair share of talk about him not appearing shirtless on the show.  Really, I don't blame Cott for not wanting to take his shirt off.  He's in great shape, and incredibly hot, but with God Adonis' KJ Apa and Charles Melton frequently showing off their pecs, it would be hard for most of us to compete. 

  But, as you can see from the image below that  Aguirre-Sacasa posted on his Instagram, compete is exactly what Casey Cott did.  Clearly, months in isolation due to the pandemic did a body good and Cott used his will power to stay away from all the home made sour dough and banana bread.  Now I hope the writers aren't just writing more due to the incredible results Cott achieved, but regardless, I'm looking forward (fingers crossed) to seeing more of Kevin this season.
