Steve Harrington in Stranger Things was just supposed to be a rude, arrogant boyfriend to Nancy Wheeler before she found her true love. In fact, his death in Season 1 was already written. However, Joe Keery, who portrayed this character, brought in such intense charisma that fans became obsessed with him. With incredible 90s hair and driving a vintage car, the writers finally saw potential in him for redemption and growth, making him an integral character.
