addicted-to-stupidity:

So, I read some parts of the Katy Keene script.

More precisely, the sides they use for auditions. The show def seems to be a lot more adult than Riverdale and yes: JOSIE IS CONFIRMED TO BE IN IT. This is what I’ve gathered.

Katy Keene herself:

She works at Lacy’s Department Store, where’s she’s up for a promotion.

She hates her colleague, Amanda, who’s also up for the promotion.

In the end Katy doesn’t get the promotion.

She really wanted to pursue designing when she was younger, but she kind of let go of that dream in recent years. However, after she meets Josie and sees how much effort Josie is putting into her music career, she decides to fully pursue designing.

She doesn’t want to move to Philly with KO (he gets offered a training position at a gym there), but also doesn’t want to stand in the way of his dreams, so she wants them to try long distance.

KO Kelly:

Him and Katy have been together since High School.

He’s a a semi-pro boxer.

He gets the opportunity to train at a really famous gym in Philladelphia called Jill Frasier’s Gym. However, this means he has to move there. He wants Katy to move with him.

After Katy decides to stay in NYC, he also decides to stay and asks Katy to marry him.

Alexander Cabot:

Music is his passion, he’s in the music industry.

Meets Josie after she just got mugged. He heard her sing and think she’s a great singer.

He offers her an opportunity to record a song in a professional studio (Power Station Recording Studio, where apparently Madonna also recorded some of her songs).

His dad is really rich and gave him the chance to (re)launch a record label. If Alexander finds and succesfully launches a superstar within one year his dad will give him money to run the record label full time. If he fails, he has to work at his dad’s office.

Alexander thinks Josie is the star he needs.

Him and Josie have chemistry and spend one night of passion together after she records her song. She’s not ready to date him or anything, though.

His sister is Alexandra Cabot. She thinks his record label is just a vanity project for him.

It seems like he’s a mashup between Alexander and Alan M. from the comics.

Jorge ‘Ginger’ Lopez

Wants to be on Broadway, but keeps getting rejected because he’s ‘too gay’, ‘too skinny’ or ‘too feminine’.

He refuses to change though, and doesn’t want to ‘act masc(uline)’.

Katy jokingly implies he should go to an audition dressed as a woman. He ends up going to an audition in drag.

That’s all I’ve got for now!
