Cheryl Blossom Cheryl Blossom was introduced in 1982 in Betty and Veronica #320[1] as a third love interest for Archie Andrews, but she and her twin brother Jason disappeared two years later. One of the reasons she disappeared at first was because she was deemed too sexual for a children's comic.[2]
Lori Shannon To the American television audience, Shannon was best known for portraying female impersonator Beverly LaSalle in three episodes of the CBS sitcom All in the Family. The episodes in which he appears are "Archie the Hero" (1975), "Beverly Rides Again" (1976), and "Edith's Crisis of Faith, Part 1" (1977).
