‘Stranger Things’ Star Joe Keery Says He Wasn’t Sure Steve Would Exist Past Season 1: ‘It Was Day to Day’ (Video)
Though it’s hard to imagine “Stranger Things” without Hawkins’s beloved single dad Steve – as he’s lovingly been dubbed by fans, thanks to his care of the kids on the show – series star Joe Keery says that, in the beginning, he wasn’t confident Steve would exist past Season 1.During an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” on Monday, Keery explained that when he first got the role, he thought Steve was simply the “jerky boyfriend.” On top of that, there wasn’t a long, built-out plan for him to be clued in on. “I read one, maybe, episode of the show – two episodes,” Keery explained.
