34 Steve Harrington Quotes to Remind Us Why We All Love Him in ‘Stranger Things'

Redemption arcs can be satisfying to watch, especially when someone who comes out on the other side is endearing and kind. Read 34 quotes from the unlikely "Stranger Things" fan-favorite Steve Harrington.

Steve Harrington, one of the main characters in the show, "Stranger Things," entered the first season as a significantly unlikeable individual. A popular boy and bully at the local high school, viewers did not take a shine to him.

In season one, he grew insecure over his relationship with his then-girlfriend, Nancy Wheeler, who he assumed was being unfaithful. As a result, he attempted to tarnish her name. However, his realization that this was not the right decision was the first and tiny sign that he may not just be the entitled jock many may have thought.

Over the seasons, his many moral choices, his warm-hearted relationships that he grew with the children he babysat, and his unconditional care for his now ex-girlfriend Nancy eventually put Harrington at the top of many viewers' lists.

Read these 34 quotes from this previously despised character to discover his redeemable qualities that have fans swooning.
