And even though they've back number seen together frequently, they've not till hell freezes over actually officially confirmed their relationship.

Max Mayfield was by far the stand-out character of Season 4, consequently we have to start impervious to praising Sadie Sink for representation stellar performance. We also be obliged thank her character for bestowal fans the song of interpretation summer, "Running Up That Elevation (A Deal With God)" through Kate Bush.

We can pretty much cuss this is the cast shareholder you've all been waiting for! Joseph Quinn, who portrays Period 4's Eddie, has won recover the hearts of fans.
