It’s Time For a Joe Keery & Steve Harrington Appreciation Post
It would be hard to find a Stranger Things fan who doesn’t wholeheartedly agree that Steve Harrington had one of the best redemption arcs on TV in the past couple of years. He went from a total tool in season 1 to a totally lovable babysitter and an all-around nice guy in season 2. Well, Steve is played by the equally charming and hair-tastic Joe Keery who just so happens to be celebrating his birthday today!
So, because Joe Keery (and Steve) are a gift to the world we’ve gathered up a combination of our favorite Joe/Steve moments for your entertainment. Enjoy!
1. When Joe realized that he was Jean-Ralphio Saperstein/Ben Schwartz’s long-lost doppelganger:

Happy Birthday to Joe Keery!
Having studied Media & Writing at James Madison University, I always knew that I wanted to do some type of creative writing, but being able to write about zombies, Starks, and superheroes on a daily basis for Fan Fest is my actual dream. While I probably shouldn’t be as proud as I am to be so similar to Nick Miller, I do hope to one day write my own “Pepperwood Chronicles’.
