Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp has responded to speculation about his character Will Byers’s sexuality. A scene in the third episode of the current season three, “The Case of the Missing Lifeguard”, sees Finn Wolfhard‘s character, Mike Wheeler, tell Will: ”It’s not my fault you don’t like girls.” Some have interpreted the line as meaning that Will is gay. “And when he got back, he expected everything to just go back to how it was before, how it was when he was normal and when he was a kid and he wanted to go back to the basement and play.” Support free-thinking journalism and attend Independent events Stranger Things‘ third season was released on 4 July on Netflix.
