The writers of Stranger Things have said that the “heartbreaking” Easter egg about Will Byers was not intentional.
In season two, Joyce tells Will a story about his birthday, alerting the viewer to the fact he is born on 22 March – the same date that Will, Mike and Eleven go the roller rink.
In the second episode, Will is made to be a third wheel during Mike and Eleven’s date at the roller rink.
Stranger Things star Jamie Campbell has claimed that he left one of his co-stars “in tears” with his “scary” on-set demeanour.
