* BadassGay: Steve, who beats Archie in arm wrestling. He's also got a well-scuplted, machismo look about him. Only his very closest friends know he is a homosexual.

** Archie's buddy Steve, a bachelor who had kept his private life just that, was played by Philip Carey, who from 1987 until shortly before his death in 2009, played Texas tycoon Asa Buchanan on ''Series/OneLifeToLive''.

* StraightGay: Archie is stunned when Steve reveals his sexual identity, asking him point blank if he's ever known him to have a romance with a woman, among other things. His other interests, appropriate for me, is another tipoff that all is not what it seems to be.
