Is the Steve, Nancy and Jonathan love triangle going in circles? The trio’s narrative arc seemed to have passed this stage but returned to its fundamentals in season 5. Once again, Nancy found herself at the center of the rivalries between the two men, once againJonathan and Steve jostle for his attention and his approval. The choice of the Duffer brothers does not only make people happy, some emphasizing the repetitive nature of this new plot.
Natalia Dyer was invited to share her feelings about Nancy’s journey. She explains that the heroine is consumed by the guilt of not having been able to protect her parents as much as a strong feeling of failure. She adds that the situation between Jonathan, Steve and Nancy is more explosive than ever. “Obviously last season they were separated for a long time, when they get back together there is a lot of pressure and stress.” She adds that the complicated situation in Hawkins puts things into perspective. “What really matters. What matters to us, where to invest our energy, what is necessary. And I think that, in the face of death and monsters, these elements, we grow.”
According to Dyer, it is the prospect of imminent death that pushes Steve and Jonathan to rediscover this rivalry. This development also echoes the events of season 4 which saw Steve confided to Nancy that he continued to see her as his ideal. It remains to be seen how the second part navigates between its dramatic issues and this romance. Natalie Dyer concluded by emphasizing the importance Nancy has for her. “After ten years, we can’t help but tackle these characters and their stories. We want them to end in a way that feels right. Not just an idyllic version but that they get something that’s deserved, that makes sense.”
