So I realize that with all the everything going on this probably isn't even a terribly important question... but uhm....
So when is she going to come out?
Of course this could just be wishful thinking on my part.

Wait! On second thought, she may have just said she likes them tall and blonde...or something like that. Dammit!
Hmmm I never really thought that. Now that i'm listening to all the episodes again, I'll try and listen to it.
Bingo.
She only ever mentioned like maybe being interested in Angel when it was a better alternative than smoking alone on the roof, but! Even then she only said it would be fun and not that she liked him.
Hmm... intriguing. Cause Angel for sure likes Riley post the arena field trip. And the line at the party, "i'm gonna go find...riley.." i wonder if he ever found her that night. it seemed like he had some business he was looking to attend to. but his night ended w/ puking in the bath tub, maybe it went wrong and he was sulking w/ the bottle. hmmm....
She did skoff kinda under her breath when she said, "yeah like him..." 7-1 at the 7:30 mark.
Oh the possibilities!
but then after the war, angel still asks riley if she wants to hang out, and when she says no, he says he's gonna work out,
but yeah my hopes for an angel/riley romance are dying away. cause everything points to riley being a lesbian, like saul said in the very beginning, she seems like a woMAN
Saul seems like the type of person that would be intimidated by a powerful, confident woman. That may be some explanation as to why he made the WoMAN comment. I say this while I believe Riley is a lesbian.
Which makes me wonder how effeminate does Angel look....she did say Angel is more her type..... maybe its just the hair....or maybe Angel would look good in some pumps and a mini skirt...
I don't know, in a way I'm kind of glad they aren't. The romances so far are kind of working my nerves. The way that Pegs seems unable to understand what bad timing is... or how Michael has to now deal with confronting emotions as well as the zombies. Then there's Saul and Lizzie who are so ridiculously protective of each other that it's getting in the way of their ability to do anything.... and they haven't even fucked yet!
I would get so mad if Riley got that way.
Pegs is clingy. She clung to Riley to the point that Riley couldn't function anymore in the beginning. She then transferred it to Michael and left Riley alone. You're right, she doesn't understand the bad timing, but it's a zombie apocalypse....when would the timing ever be good? Pegs is so in touch with her feelings and she can't begin to fathom how people can't tap into theirs. It's just the way she's wired. Their relationship reminds me of me and my fiancee. She's entirely emotional and acts on her feelings, and I'm far more logical and act after analyzing everything. I'm not saying one way is better than the other, just that people react differently depending on how in touch they are with their emotions.
Holy crap i couldnt agree with you more! especially on the saul/lizzy thing, god they're annoying. i love saul, but whenever lizzy is around they just do and say the dumbest shit
I hope Riley isn't gay...not that there's anything wrong with being gay..
But she's always been strong and self sufficient and able to handle herself...from the beginning.
Does a woman have to be gay to rise to the occasion so quickly?
As far as romances...sure, they should evolve..they would evolve...
but real life with the zombies is kinda in the way..
First things first..
And someone said Saul and Lizzy hadn't f#*ked...
how, exactly, would we know that?
I presume they have.
Well of course you don't have to be gay to rise to the occasion. All the females in the story have risen to the occasion, even Pegs. I will say, however, if you've gone through life as a social pariah, and a beating post of religious zealots, your confidence level with either A) be strong, or B) totally destroyed. I am not saying any of this happened to Riley, but the potential for that to have happened living in America as a lesbian is there. Sorry to stereotype, but they exist for a reason.
There's no evidence Lizzy and Saul have been more intimate, but then again, there's nothing saying they haven't either. Personally, I don't think they have. Saul doesn't seem like the type to be able to keep that kind of information to himself....he probably would have made another huge sign like the "We're Alive" sign and hang it out of the building saying "Dude, I totally did Lizzy last night" :p But if something comes out later that they did, I wouldn't be surprised in the least.
Saul is the reason why they don't let women into combat. Sheesh.
I don't think he's broadcast bedding Lizzy. He'd tell Michael because of their camaraderie, and that's all. People will be able to tell because he'll be a frigg'n jumping bean though.
Kelly will be the death of him.
Now, on to Riley... if she's a Lesbian... then so am I dammit! LOL
I agree that we don't need anymore "relationships." Hook ups would work and I think that Riley could be the type to tell Angel that he'll be HER booty call.
Why is no one saying that she's Bi?
Because that's just story telling cheating! She's got to be one way or the other. Because you know there is no such thing as nuance or gray area in real life, therefore it cannot exist in our stories! Everything is black and white! Gay or Not Gay!
*tongue firmly planted in cheek during this response*
By looking at the points from everyone it really seems as thought she's bisexual.
I must Reiterate/Emphasize!
Yep, I agree. I've always had the impression that Riley is a lesbian.
I really don't think Riley is a lesbian. I just relistened to the first season all the way through and there are a few incidents that point to her being interested in Angel. Someone referred to her response to Pegs when mentioning she likes them tall and blonde. Pegs: "Like Angel? Riley: "Yeah, like him." Then when she was in the arena and they were washing each other off, she made it quite clear to him she was taking in the view. I think just because she's a strong, resolved woman doesn't point to her automatically not being into men. Plus, why would she not have just flat out told someone by now? It's not like the characters are in the 50's and would have to keep that kind of thing hush, hush. I mean they live in California too.
I at least hope she isnt' a lesbian. There would be something too cliche about having a token lesbian character who's also fairly tough. Plus Riley and Angel are my favorite characters and their time together in the arena (the whole ordeal) was my favorite chapter in the series so far. Out of all the romantic moments between the characters, theirs seems the most authentic to me.
I'm skeptical of Riley being a Lesbian, there isn't firm proof from my point of view. I hope for an Angel/Riley romance
A) She tells Michael that he isn't her type, that in no way mean's she likes girls. Plenty of girls have said I wasn't their type but there were other men who were the right type
B) She tells Pegs that she likes them tall and blonde, broad, but seems to confirm that "Yes like Angel"
C) The scene in Chapter 15 where Angel doesn't get it was something I interpreted differently. While everyone jumps on and thinks "LESBIAN!" I think it might mean something like, "Try harder stupid" or maybe, "You could try being you know...romantic" since Angel hasn't done much in terms of being actually romantic, just games and working out.
D) In Chapter 10, when they had to get naked to bathe, Riley obviously checked Angel out. Might be just to make fun of the fact that Angel was feeling rather cold in that room or she wanted to see him. Strange how no one remembers that she did that
Just my opinions. I don't think Riley is a lesbian, though I admit it could be possible
hey chelsea dont you hate riley? you are a trooper hanging around and posting in a board filled with people who like her!
yeah i think riley would be a lesbian... daaaaaaaamn riley and peggs?
ah never mind... peggs is already with michel
*sigh*...that's all I gotta say...
