One Steve scene in Stranger Things season 1 would have been very problematic, and the Duffer brothers did the right thing by removing it.
Stranger Things nearly had a problematic Steve scene, but thankfully it was removed from the show. The Duffer brothers' coming-of-age sci-fi horror went through quite a few changes before it became the Stranger Things that audiences know and love. Some of the more notable changes involved fan-favorite character Steve Harrington . The original plan for Steve was to be killed off in Stranger Things season 1 before the Duffer brothers changed direction.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Joe Keery revealed in an interview with GQ that Steve, who starts off in Stranger Things as a smarmy, popular jerk, was originally going to be a much darker character. As Keery explains, “[Steve] was having this party [in the script] — I think it was on a beach, because it originally took place in Montauk, Long Island. And he was a total, total dick. He forced himself on Nancy. Way harsher.
Steve was a jerk in Stranger Things season 1, but he would be even less likable if the Duffer brothers had kept the assault scene in the script. It's doubtful that audiences would root for a Steve and Nancy romance if Steve had forced himself on her. Nancy and Steve were sweet and endearing together, and this harsher moment would have detracted from their appeal.
Steve may have started out as the typical '80s jerk jock character in Stranger Things, but thankfully the Duffer brothers took Steve and developed him into something better. Steve's development into a goofy yet protective and encouraging friend is a great subversion of a classic teen movie stereotype.
