As the finale of Netflix’s Stranger Things approaches, fans across social media are uniting to ensure the survival of Steve Harrington, played by Joe Keery.
Over the show’s five seasons, many characters have died at the hands of the Upside Down, demogorgons, and Vecna, but viewers are determined not to lose Steve. Some fans have even threatened the Duffer brothers and Netflix, expressing their demand that he survives the upcoming events.
Steve, who began as Nancy Wheeler’s boyfriend, has become a central figure, protecting the younger characters and fighting alongside Eleven, Mike, Will, Lucas, Dustin, Jim Hopper, and Joyce Byers. His friendship with Dustin Henderson, especially their pledge of mutual protection, has become a fan-favourite storyline.
Social media platforms are flooded with memes, posts, and prayers from fans, reflecting the extraordinary attachment to the character. Despite assurances from the Duffer brothers that no major deaths are planned in the finale, fans continue to campaign vigorously for Steve’s safety.
