Well On Latest Riverdale The Boys Talked About “Dropping The Soap” In The Shower

I recently threw together a list of the most unintentionally gay moments yet on Riverdale, but one of those scenes would certainly have gotten the bump had I witnessed the unabashed gayness that is the new sure-to-be infamous Riverdale locker room scene.

As with last season's gayest line "You got some pretty big coconuts pulling that kind of stunt last night," today's super de duper gay quip again comes from Charles Melton. We've been straight up sleeping on his unintentional gayness!

In the latest episode, Melton approaches Eli Goree, who's only wearing a towel, and teases him about his time in prison with the ol' chestnut:

Let's settle a bet. In prison showers, is it true what they say about dropping the soap?

I'm willing to forgive the scene's slightly 90s gay-fearing tone due to the fact that this is softcore gay porn. They're on our side. Whether they know it or not. K.J. Apa stands by looking just as porny as Eli, and it's just, IDK, inspirational (is that the word?) that Pervy CW Execs worked a line about a penis being inserted inside a butthole into a Riverdale locker room scene. Lest we forget what showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa had to say about casting Riverdale back in 2017:

Of course, they are all beautiful to look at, but for me, what I wanted more was a sense that the characters had a ripe sexuality.

Like they were all kind of on the cusp of transitioning from teenagers to young adults. It’s almost like the 1950s pinup girls, or the guys that were, like, a little bit like Physique Pictorial. There was a sexual energy to them that I look for, more than, like, Oh my God, is this kid TV pretty.

And soap. I mean scene!
