9* Mary Andrews has received a lot of praise, being a [[GoodParents loving and supportive mom]] to Archie and one of the clearly better parental figures, [[{{Foil}} more than most of the mothers living in Riverdale]]. Despite the divorce, her and Fred demonstrating a [[AmicableExes supportive and natural friendship]] is one of the more praised aspects of her character. Being played by Creator/MollyRingwald certainly doesn't hurt her popularity.
10** Fred Andrews as well for being a great father figure to Archie.
11* Despite being ''dead'', Jason also tends to get a lot of fandom love, especially as more about his relationships with Polly and Cheryl is revealed. It also helps that Cheryl's love for him is one of her most humanizing traits.
12* Farmer [=McGinty=] has appeared exactly ''[[OneSceneWonder once]]'' but he's still one of the most memorable characters in the entire show thanks to being played by the legendary Creator/TonyTodd, who positively oozes menace every second that he's onscreen.
13* Sweet Pea is very popular due to his snarky sense of humour, tension with Archie, and the good looks of his actor.
14* The judge from "[[Recap/RiverdaleS2E2Chapter15Nighthawks Nighthawks]]" is also quite popular, due to being played by Creator/ChrisBritton, better known as the voice of [[Manga/DeathNote Soichiro Yagami]].
15* Penny "Snake Charmer" Peabody qualifies, though among Jughead fans, it's definitely in a "love to hate" sort of way. Being [[HelloAttorney played by Brit Morgan]] helps, along with her DeadpanSnarker personality, the fact that she's arguably a more interesting villain than any of the main antagonists like Hiram or the Black Hood, and the way the show keeps hinting that she has an intriguing backstory that many fans are eager to find out more about.
16* Nana Rose Blossom gets this treatment from [[spoiler: Choni]] shippers for being supportive of her granddaughter and going through intense physical pain for her in "[[Recap/RiverdaleS2E17Chapter30TheNooseTightens The Noose Tightens]]". Plus, she's a badass grandma who's CreepyGood and adorable, so what's not to like?
17* Fangs has developed quite a fandom, partly due to the ShipTease between him and Kevin.
18* Jellybean, Jughead’s younger sister, for being a BadassAdorable LittleMissSnarker, as well as her interesting dynamics with her father, brother, and mother (who also qualifies, partly due to being played by Creator/GinaGershon).
