Which Stranger Things Couples Will End Up Together? Theories
From Mike and El to Lucas and Max, Which "Stranger Things" Couples Will Go the Distance?
5
It took three seasons just for Hopper to finally ask Joyce on a date . . . and of course, this being "Stranger Things," he promptly sacrifices himself, is presumed dead, and winds up in a secret Russian prison. Most of Joyce's arc in the fourth season is focussed on finding Hopper again, and there's definitely a romantic undertone to the way they talk about each other to other characters.
There's no big cinematic smooch when they finally reunite, but the tenderness of their hug says it all. If they both make it out alive, it seems pretty certain they'll at least make a go at a relationship. There's been far too much buildup for Joyce and Hopper to not pay off in some capacity.
