Having seemingly recovered from bingeing all of Stranger Things season 3 over the weekend, fans are taking to social media to celebrate the popular Netflix show's new addition - character Robin, played by Maya Hawke (the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, just casually).
The third installment of the show picks up a little after where we left off. It's the summer of 1985 in Hawkins, Indiana - there's a brand new mall, dubbed Starcourt, and puberty is running rife.
We soon meet Robin, a deadpan smart-ass who quickly admits to new co-worker Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) that she was once obsessed with him in high school. As the two get to know one another (all while fighting giant rats and struggling to crack Russian codes, obviously), viewers were naturally expecting the opposites-attract pair to let down their respective guards and lock lips.
However, that's not quite how it played out.
In the second last episode of the eight-episode season, Steve misreads Robin's body language and admits that he has developed feelings for her.
Sadly for Steve, Robin clarifies her high school obsession with him was because another student, Tammy Thompson, had a crush on him - and she was desperate to know what he had that she didn't. Because she had feelings for Tammy.
"But she’s a girl," Steve replies, not quite catching her drift.
It doesn't take long for Steve to understand what's going on and, in a heartwarming moment, the former prom king is quick to accept Robin's sexuality and cement the pair's friendship.
Ugh, we love a woke 80s horror series.
