Stranger Things creators Ross and Matt Duffer have confirmed that Mike Wheeler finally understood Will Byers had romantic feelings for him during the emotional coming-out scene in Season 5, according to PEOPLE.
The revelation addresses one of the most debated moments from Volume 2, which arrived on Netflix on 25 December. When Will opens up about not liking girls during Episode 7's powerful monologue, the camera deliberately pans to Mike's face - a choice that has now been confirmed as entirely intentional.
