Stranger Things' Natalia Dyer Thinks Nancy And Steve Could Get Back Together

We all love an on-set romance and no, nothing is cuter than the fact that Stranger Things stars Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler) and Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers) are dating in real life, as well as on the show.

However, the road to love is never easy.

At the end of Stranger Things Season 3, the Byers family move out of Hawkins, leaving fans and Dyer herself with many questions.

'What’s that going to be like, especially since everyone is in a relationship?' Dyer mused to ELLE.com. 'I feel like long-distance is hard nowadays, so imagine long-distance relationships back then.'

The struggle will be real, but let's not forget who remains in Hawkins...

Steve (Joe Keerey), Nancy's former flame, might just be waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces.

'Stancy' fans were heartbroken when the couple broke up in Season 2, and although Nancy moved on to Jonathan, Dyer still can't help but wonder 'what if'.

'I’d love to see if her and Steve would ever get back together, or at least if they get closure. Will their chapter ever close? I'm very curious,' she says. 'Also, I want her to get a female friend. RIP Barb.'

After surviving a series of traumas, including the death of her best friend Barb in season 1, the real Nancy—relentless, fearless, and 'badass,' as Dyer puts it— emerges in season 3.

Given her newfound courage, it's not totally off the cards to imagine a love triangle forming in Stranger Things season 4.

Is it bad that we're kind gagging for the drama?
