Joyce and Hopper might finally be a thing in Stranger Things 3
Stranger Things fans listen UP: your wish for S3 might have just been granted.
The hit Netflix show is due to be back on our screens in summer 2019 (yes, we are raging about this.)
While the cast have been dropping bits and pieces of info about what to expect when we head back to Hawkins, it's been David Harbour who plays Chief Jum Hopper that has finally given us some juicy storylines that we can't wait to sink our teeth into.
It's obvious to anyone who watches the show that Hop and Joyce Byers( Winona Ryder) have some hot chemistry between them…we're talking a tangible fizz.
It was during a Q&A at an Emmy nomination celebration event on Friday however that David let slip a possible S3 spoiler.
Things might get steamy with Joyce and Hopper in ‘#StrangerThings’ Season 3: No matter how upside down the world becomes, there's always room to find love. At least that's what #StrangerThings star #DavidHarbour is hinting at when it comes to Season 3… https://t.co/hf75Ao159e pic.twitter.com/P1OsF6qfhb

According to Variety, David said that, ''it's the summer of love in Hawkins, Indiana."
It sounds like while Eleven and Mike will be enjoying their blossoming teen romance, Hopper might not be on his own.
"I mean Hopper has his own issues with love, but Hopper will probably be confronting some of those issues, yes," David said.
Sounds like a Jopper hint to us!
David has always been a die-hard shipper of his and Winona's characters, so for him, this is what he's wanted since S1.
“There may be other people in the mix in this situation, but I think they’re built for each other and I would love to see them get together,” David revealed.
“From the very beginning, I thought that these are two tortured, messed up, beautiful people who are like puzzle pieces that can’t stand each other but actually need each other.”
This is definitely not the first time David has shared his thoughts on the will-they-won't-they romance between Joyce and Hopper.
David bashfully explained his best scenes on S2 when he said, "there will be nights on set at three or four in the morning where Winona Ryder will be telling these stories and I will have this experience where I look at her and I’m feeling so jazzed about my life. And I feel like I’m in love with her – it’s a beautiful thing."
If that isn't true love, we don't know what is.
Netflix released a teaser for S3 titled, ''Ahoy! Something is coming… to Hawkins, Indiana!', showing the new Starcourt Mall, equipped with fan fave Steve Harrington and newcomer Robin (Maya Thurman-Hawke) at their jobs in Scoops Ice Cream Parlour.
It's nt enough for us superfans out there so David, if you're reading this, please don't stop with the spoilers, ok?
We are HERE for them.
And Jopper, obvs.
