Stranger Things star Natalia Dyer reveals how she believes love triangle could end in final ever series

Netflix’s Stranger Things star Natalia Dyer has revealed her take on the series’ love triangle involving her character Nancy with Jonathan and Steve as the show approaches its last ever season.

The 27-year-old American actress plays Nancy Wheeler in the Netflix science-fiction drama hit.

Nancy was originally dating Steve Harrington, played by Joe Keery, in the first season of the show until she grew closer to the high school loner Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) after Nancy’s best friend went missing following Jonathan’s younger brother Will.

Nancy and Jonathan have been a couple since, albeit hitting a rough patch in the fourth season after the Byers moved away to California, granting room for Nancy and Steve to reconnect as close friends fighting evil.

Whilst Dyer herself has been dating Heaton, 28, since the beginning of the show in 2016, who will her character end up with and who would she like this to be?

Appearing on podcast Reign with Josh Smith, the actress said: “It's really hard to think about who she's gonna end up with between Jonathan and Steve, she loves both of them in different ways.

“It's such a traumatic thing that they're all going through, that they're all bonded and they all care about each other.”

She added: “There's so much more than just these romantic feelings going on. I could see her not being with anybody in the end to be honest, it's just so much to process what's going on...

“I don't think she's in a head space for romance really, personally and we've never really seen her single, she's always been with somebody and I feel like maybe she has some single solo growing to do.”
