The creators of Stranger Things have confirmed that a pivotal scene involving Hopper and Joyce in season 4 was improvised. The conclusion of Stranger Things featured several pivotal scenes with Hopper and Joyce. After finally finding each other again thanks to Murray, Uri, and Joyce’s infiltration of the prison camp, the two individuals eventually confessed their emotions for one another.
However, after they learned what their children were getting into in Hawkins, there wasn’t much time left for romance between the two of them. They devise a strategy with the intention of eliminating the horde of demogorgons that are housed within the prison camp in the expectation that this will cause Vecna to become more vulnerable. Joyce has a warning for Hopper before he enters the arena, where they will be able to murder all of the other people. Hopper has volunteered to lead one of them into the arena. She tells him, “I’m not having another funeral.” after urging him to stay safe and protect her from harm. Hopper doesn’t say anything in response; he just kisses her to reassure her.
It has come to light that this particular scene wasn’t really written down in the Duffer Brothers’ show; rather, it was the idea of the players themselves. The revelation was offered by the Stranger Things Writers Room on Twitter, and it read as follows: “This kiss wasn’t scripted, Winona and David inserted it on the day of filming.” According to the writers, who provided some insight into other important situations, this is not the only moment that was improvised throughout the production. Caleb McLaughlin came up with the impromptu line “Erica, help” during the harrowing scene in which Max was passing away in Lucas’ arms.
While Eddie Munson’s final scene also had an improv line from Joseph Quinn, who told Dustin, “I love you, dude,” the line was a part of Eddie Munson’s final scene.
