The fact he was a waiter is why he seems so respectful. Waiters have the hardest jobs and are very humble people.

[@bobcaygeon6799]

I was just going to say that. Not everyone who 'waits' but many, after doing it, you never take service for granted, you totally understand working in a team and no matter where he ends up, you can bet, he'll always 'see' wait staff and other 'invisible' service people who he KNOWS without them, shit wouldn't get done, where other actors might not.

I couldn’t care less for Steve in season 1, I didn’t hate him or love him. But from season 2 and afterwards, I found myself anticipating his scenes the most, I love all of his scenes, probably the best character development ever.

[@MayLily]

That's what happens when you have good actors coupled with good writing and good directors. They have to all work together so that we start to root and care for these characters. He went from the typical jerky boyfriend to one of the most beloved characters on the show and it seemed like a natural progression of his character development thanks to the Duffer brothers and Joe's natural charm.

I really like the Steve character and how Joe Keery plays him. They could've kept him as being more one-dimensional like in season 1. But in Season 2 they showed him going through some growing pains which had an deep effect on him. By Season 3 he was getting a lot more depth and he had some of the funniest lines in the show!

[@user-fj4sk4uj7c]

His development wasn't that crazy imo, he is one of the few who got any treatment, all the other ones are pretty much the same

[@Readiculous21]

Even in S1 he was showing his humanity.

[@magmapixel8627]

“Yeah it’s me don’t cream your pants” was top 5 funniest lines in the show

[@mallorycarpinski1160]

He gets funny lines, but let's admit the delivery, Joe Keery's performance is what makes Steve so awesome. He can just make a weird noise or face and it's the best thing in the show 😂

[@theautotunecat6005]

From a character who almost died in S1 to a character fans would rally for in case he dies in S4. That's our Mommy Steve. 💕

[@awarickable]

We all love Steve, he is our boy! One of the best characters in stranger things. He is fearless and always steps up to save the day. Thanks for the entertainment Joe!

[@bigtakeshi]

i love how he's still got the classic 70s/80s vibe going on with the suit and shirt! So awesome!

Joe’s hair grows so quickly!! He’s so handsome! So genuine, funny and humble! I love his personality! He just OOZES charisma

Joe Keery is simply the best. I can’t wait for more of his upcoming music and roles. He deserves to be recognized for all the things he’s good at and it makes me so happy to see how humble, down to earth, authentic, real, and genuine he is. You simply can’t not love this guy. So proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished so far, Joe!

Steve has become the best character of them all, his growth and charm since first season to the last one will always amaze me

[@brocsewell]

Finally figured out why I love Steve...past season 1, he is one of the VERY FEW male characters across any form of media who exudes zero toxic masculinity. Love him.

[@mayahall8034]

Tbh I don’t think this many people would be watching the show like this without him.. he is such an important character- especially with everyone’s parents always being some where. They needed a character that was the “mom” of the group.

[@unnamedchannel2023]

Love them both so much. His performance in the whole series is incredible and Jimmy Fallon is always so fun to watch :)

[@kenziehill9376]

Love the character! Duffer brothers didn't just develop Steve "The Hair" Harrington... they allowed us to watch him mature into a hero, a friend, and a heartthrob (my daughters really love him). Steve really came across in 4 short seasons as a character arc who could spinoff his own series ♥️

[@Izaan2810]

I literally think that's the plan. They are NEVER going to kill Steve imo. If the spinoffs are major possibilities, which it seems they are from other cast members' interviews that Netflix are interested in, Steve will definitely have a spin-off for sure.

[@sandymiao]

As his character grows, i find Steve more and more relatable and lovable...He's actually quite dreamy and a big softy even though he complains that he's always the baby sitter 😄 The way he helps and protects everyone and treats everyone a friend and being understanding it's just amazing!

[@willardlarkinsnow5622]

Out of all the stars of Stranger Things who will go beyond the show and become big names, Joe Keery is the number one. He has everything it takes and he is a sincere and humble guy and a super talented actor.

[@Rambaldichick]

I wasn't really invested in Steve until the awesome shot of him twirling the bat before hitting the Demogorgon in Joyce's house at the end of season 1. That was the exact moment I was like, "Steve's awesome!"😂👍

[@OhPrincessSaRaHxo]

Joe is so cute and I could listen to him talk for hours. Definitely have him back, Jimmy!!

[@juxp16]

I don‘t think anyone could have played steve better! Steve is such a complex character in his own way - at first he‘s „just“ the jerky boyfriend but as the story unfolds we see his true personality + the rocky relationship with his father. Glad the duffers kept him

[@ngakieu3541]

Sure, steve's parents are still unknown. Just him alone in big house.

[@mehrinkarim805]

There are no side characters,they are all integral part of ST

[@dannyt4663]

@@mehrinkarim805 secondary characters are still integral to a story, but i get your point. I guess in this latest season they are in more main roles, but i still consider Eleven & the party as the MCs of the series as a whole

[@danlay638]

I stopped watching for characters like Eleven & the gang a long time ago. She had like three emotions. Meanwhile Will always got pushed to the side, Mike's entire personality just turned into "I'm kind of a dick", and Lucas was borderline invisible. When watching s4, after they split into 4 different arcs thus causing the episodes to be really long (hawkins, russia, Eleven rediscovering her powers, and the cali crew), i would legit just skip through every Eleven or Cali crew scene to save myself the time

[@youtubejunkie_]

I really can’t get enough of Joe, what a beautiful person in and out, his authenticity is so magnetic

I could definitely see Joe Keery playing Fallon in a Biopic. Absolutely love Stranger Things and Harrington is probably my favorite of the cast. The show is filled with so many iconic characters.
