Well, it's confirmed: The Stranger Things kids are growing up. Whether we like it or not.

Relationships undoubtedly play a major role in season three of the iconic 80s Netflix show, revolving around fighting alien-type monsters from The Upside Down and suspicious Russian military scientists.

Millie Bobby Brown has since had to defend her character's romance with Mike Wheeler on-screen, played by Finn Wolfhard. Young teenager Eleven is experiencing her first love, and some ain't happy.

Many fans have insisted that the pairing are better when they remain just friends, rather than boyfriend and girlfriend, but the 15-year-old actress strong disagrees.

Telling Digital Spy that she "always saw them in love", she expresses her view that the show is displaying the reality of teenage romance.

"It's so much fun, you know, it's really exciting. Eleven is full of love and she's so excited for her new relationship with Mike. I think it's just relatable and you can totally see it happening in real life."

Mentioning her co-star Finn Wolfhard, she emphasised how "easy" it was to shoot emotionally intimate scenes with her fellow teenaged actor.

"We were in a safe environment where we felt comfortable with each other," she explained. "It was really fun."

Millie is a big fan of Eleven and Mike falling in love, but Noah Schnapp's character Will Byers doesn't feel the same way. The rest of his gang all have girlfriends too; Dustin and Lucas are dating Suzie and Max.

Our hearts simultaneously broke when Mike pretty much outs Will in an earlier episode of the third season, after the poor lad just wants to play Dungeons and Dragons but his friends keep abandoning him.

"We're not kids anymore," Mike yells at Will, after he storms out of his home. 

"I mean, what did you think, really? That we were never going to get girlfriends? That we’re just going to sit in my basement playing games for the rest of our lives? It's not our fault you don't like girls."

We DIED after that final blow was delivered. The youngster has been through the wars since season one, and desperately needs his friends around him.

Stranger Things 3 is now streaming on Netflix, so binge to your heart's content.

It's nearly impossible to imagine one of the best shows of the last few years killing off two of its beloved main characters, but the Duffer Brothers are no ordinary show-runners.

They have recently revealed that during their initial planning process, they decided that Steve and Eleven would be killed off during season one. 

NOT BABYSITTER STEVE. Please, we beg. Or Eleven, she's our new badass feminist hero, if only we were that cool at 14.

The hit Netflix series just wouldn't be the same without it's leading protagonist Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and the lovable babysitter Steve Harrington (Joe Keery).

Over the course of two (soon to be three!) seasons, these characters have become both deeply integral to the show while also becoming massive fan favourites – which begs the question, why would they have ever been killed off in the first place?

In a brand new behind-the-scenes companion book Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down, Matt and Ross Duffer have let slip that both Eleven and Steve weren't originally meant to survive, because Eleven was allegedly going to sacrifice herself to save the others.

"Eleven was going to sacrifice herself to save the day. That was always the end game." The proposed deaths would have been a huge transformation to the storylines of the show's future.

It soon became crystal clear to the Duffers that Stranger Things would return for season two, which changed everything.

"We needed to leave it more up in the air, because deep down we knew the show just wouldn’t really work without Eleven. And at that point, we knew how special Millie Bobby Brown was. If there was going to be more Stranger Things, Eleven had to come back."

Millie Bobby Brown has emerged from the show as one of the most prominent talents of generation, and has showed maturity far beyond her age. She even shaved her head for her audition for the role of Eleven to show her commitment to the role. A true Kween.

Steve Harrington was kept alive by the Duffer brothers mostly because the fans absolutely adored him; his character arc from Nancy's obnoxious boyfriend to lovable and selfless babysitter to the pack of alien-fighting kids gripped the audience. 

It was thanks to actor Joe Keery's portrayal of local Hawkins heartthrob that also contributed to the script change: "This Steve character, he was just supposed to be this giant douchebag," Ross revealed.

The Duffers also revealed that Bob Newby (Sean Astin) was always intended to die, but he originally was planned be killed off a lot earlier in the series. “Sean Astin proved so likeable that Bob’s death got pushed from episode four to episode eight because we kept wanting to keep him alive,” he explained.

“It was important to us and also to Sean to give him a bit of a hero’s death. We wanted him to accomplish something meaningful."

Judging by the trailer for season three, Eleven and Steve will be more essential to the show than ever before. 

The creators have claimed that the newest season is based centrally in Hawkins mall, and takes it's primary inspiration from The Thing: 

"While it's our most fun season, it also turns out to be our grossest season," Ross Duffer teases. "We're inspired by John Carpenter's The Thing. We're inspired by Cronenberg.

"We have a little bit of a George Romero vibe in there as well. There are horror movies and horror masters that we haven't really paid tribute to as much in previous seasons that we are definitely going to get into this season."

Season three of the fan favourite show is premiering in summer 2019 on Netflix. We're counting down the days, people.

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. 

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. 

 

Listen kid, your mother looks so beautiful at the sag awards tonight…

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.

Love it or hate it (although why you'd hate it is beyond us), there's no denying the phenomenon that is Stranger Things.

Currently in its second season, the Netflix original has amassed a loyal (and slightly obsessed) fanbase since it burst onto our screens back in 2016.

In fact, some people are so obsessed they'd go as far as to enlist the help of Twitter in order to share their high school photos with their favourite cast member.

Take Californian student, Damaris, for example.

She reached out to David Harbour, who plays Police Chief Jim Hopper in the show, and asked him how many retweets she would need to have him pose alongside her in the school snaps.

When David replied 25,000 under the condition he could wear the school sweatshirt and carry a trombone, Damaris got to work rallying the good folk on Twitter.

And it worked.

"Voted most likely to hijack someone’s high school senior photos 24 years later," David wrote in a post which has amassed 386,000 likes in less than a day.

"Many thanks to @postydamaris and her kind family and @iamtommygphotography for making a dream come true and proving my high school classmates right!"

When it comes to school snaps, go big or go home…
