‘Stranger Things’ fever is still riding high after the last two episodes of season four dropped a couple of weeks ago, with one of the more interesting aspects of the series involving Will Byers possibly being in love with his best friend Mike.

Well, I say possibly but anyone who has seen the show will probably agree that it’s 100% obvious that this is the case. If you needed any more confirmation though, Noah Schnapp – the actor that plays Will Byers – has decided to verify this theory in an interview with Variety:

It’s pretty clear this season that Will has feelings for Mike.

They’ve been intentionally pulling that out over the past few seasons.

Even in Season 1, they hinted at that and slowly, slowly grew that storyline.

I think for Season 4, it was just me playing this character who loves his best friend but struggles with knowing if he’ll be accepted or not, and feeling like a mistake and like he doesn’t belong.

People have come up to me — I was just in Paris and this, like, 40-year-old man came up to me and he was like, ‘Wow, this Will character made me feel so good. And I related to it so much’.

That just made me so happy to hear. They are writing this real character and this real journey and real struggle and they’re doing it so well.

Well there you have it – that’s all cleared up now. However, the Duffer Brothers tend to write ‘Stranger Things’ so that all the main characters have happy endings, but I’m not really sure how they’re gonna resolve this Will storyline because Mike is clearly not gay himself and totally smitten with Eleven, meaning that Will is probably going to be left crying on his own.

We’ve got a couple of years to wait until we see what happens though, so I guess they’ve got a while to figure it up. Maybe he’ll end up sacrificing himself to save Mike from Vecna. That would work.
