Noah Schnapp shares an interesting fact behind the moving Jonathan and Will moment in Stranger Things season 4.

Jonathan&#8217;s Best Scene in &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; 4 Was an Unscripted Moment

Stranger Things season 4 went a lot darker this season than the previous ones.
We see the dynamics shift between the gang, and it was hard to see the Byers and
Eleven struggling to adjust in California. Every one of them was struggling in
one way or another, but Will was the only one silently suffering for years.



Season 4 delved deeper into Will’s story, away from his connection to the Upside
Down, focusing more on his identity. And we see Jonathan reaching out to Will
once again. He had been missing from much of season 4, but one touching scene in
the series sealed the deal for Jonathan. However, in a recent interview, Noah
Schnapp, who plays Will, revealed that this tender moment was not even in the
original script.


JONATHAN AND WILL’S MOMENT THAT PULLED EVERYONE’S HEARTSTRINGS WAS ENTIRELY
UNSCRIPTED

Mike, Jonathan, Argyle, and Jonathan are on the road to find and rescue Eleven.
Will tries to console a distressed Mike. But while consoling him, he reveals his
own feelings

to him unbeknownst to Mike. He stops himself from crying while staring out of
the window, but his brother, Jonathan, witnesses this vulnerable moment. Later,
when the brothers have some alone time, Jonathan apologizes to him for not
giving him his attention. Jonathan was so tied up in his world and weed that he
forgot to be there for Will. But he promises him that he isn’t going there and
is always there for him. In codeword, he conveys to Will that he sees and
accepts him as he is.

Needless to say, this scene had many of us grabbing our tissue boxes. However,
the scene wasn’t even planned! In a recent interview with Variety
[https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/stranger-things-noah-schnapp-will-byers-gay-doja-cat-1235317378/],
Noah Schnapp disclosed that this follow-up scene between the two brothers wasn’t
part of the original script. After they wrapped up the van scene, the Duffer
brothers thought it was necessary to have this scene to comfort Will and others
like him that they aren’t alone.

Season 4 left us with a lot of loose ends, with Will still being in the closet.
However, Schnapp

expects a coming-out scene next season. Like the rest of us, he also wants
answers about his connection to the Mind Flayer and what will happen to Hawkins
when the Upside Down army invades it.
