Stranger Things 5's Nancy Love Triangle Update Is Good For Steve Fans
Although Stranger Things wrapped up season 4 a couple of weeks ago, there’s still a lot of buzz about the setup of the potential love triangle between Nancy, Jonathan, and Steve. The tripartite romance started with Nancy and Steve dating in Stranger Things season 1, despite Nancy’s attachment to Jonathan. However, a lot changed along the line, and the couple broke up in season 2, giving the Nancy-Jonathan romance a fighting chance, especially after the messy breakup with Steve.
Stranger Things season 4 came with many unexpected developments, teasing a possibly rekindled romance between Nancy and Steve and raising anticipation for fans of Steve Harrington.
