As the long-awaited Stranger Things finale airs tomorrow, fans are scrambling to rank the show’s on-screen pairings. From the doomed Wheelers to the hopeful Robin-Vickie duo, the list reveals how chemistry has evolved over the series.
Couples Ranked by Chemistry
- 10. The Wheelers – The marriage has long been troubled; Karen’s crush on Billy is a distant memory. No amount of wine, golf, or demogorgon battles seems likely to reignite any passion.
- 9. Eleven and Mike – Season three had them flirting at the mall; now as high schoolers, their spark has dimmed. They stay close but mostly share chaste hugs, with Mike hoping Eleven dreams of a life post-Vecna.
- 8. Nancy and Jonathan – A brush with death led them to realize breaking up was best. After negative exchanges and Jonathan’s “un-proposal,” they remain bonded but not married.
- 7. Hopper and Joyce – Their relationship feels comfortable, but will it last once the chaos subsides? Feelings exist, but longevity is doubtful, especially with Hopper’s suicidal tendencies.
- 6. Dr. Kay and her mission – Dr. Kay is focused on forcing a superpowered captive to produce blood for pregnant women, hoping to create superpowered soldiers. No romantic love, but unwavering devotion to her plan.
- 5. Max and Lucas – Max needed Lucas’s hand to escape Vecna’s mind prison. Their future is uncertain, but the shared trauma may repeat.
- 4. Steve and Dustin – They are best friends, not a romantic couple. They now communicate openly to avoid violent confrontations, keeping their walkie-talkie lifeline.

- 3. Mr. Clarke and the librarian – Murray’s jealousy fades as love blooms between two nerdy faculty members. Snookums and Sugar Lump enjoy a quiet romance.
- 2. Vecna and his mission – Vecna is fully committed to merging the Abyss with Earth, using Hawkins as a crash point. His mission is cosmically entwined with evil schemes.
- 1. Robin and Vickie – Their date is the most adorable; if they don’t get a long-awaited dinner by the finale, fans threaten to cancel subscriptions.
