Eddie and Chrissy according to Joe Quinn, Grace Van Dien and the Duffer Brothers (sources below)
[Were Eddie and Chrissy on the outskirts of falling in love?] “Yeah, that’s the way I saw it.” - Joseph Quinn (x)
“It would be lovely if there was a world in which [they could] be a pretty uncouth couple at Hawkins High that I think might shake things up a little bit.” - Joseph Quinn (x)
“We always have those moments [of ‘What have we done?’]. We shot the quote-unquote drug-deal scene in the woods pretty late, actually, into shooting. We had already killed Chrissy when we shot that. The scene came alive in a beautiful way. So much of that was Joe and Grace.” - Duffer Brothers (x)
“She had to feel safe enough with him to go back to his trailer. And he’s a pretty intimidating guy when you first meet him, so I think it made sense for there to be some romantic intrigue there. And to also spark Mason’s character Jason’s suspicion. It felt like the right way to go there, I think.” - Joseph Quinn (x)
#Eddissy - Grace Van Dien (x)
“I think he’s completely haunted by his inability to do anything to save Chrissy and how powerless he was at that moment.” - Joseph Quinn (x)
“I think kind of…yes, I think he did [have a crush on Chrissy]. I think, playing with archetypes, especially in American high school, I don’t think you’d ever put those two together. But they get to know each other more in episode one and there’s kind of potential there, and then something horrible happens. I think the concert, for him, was more about avenging her as a person rather than anything romantic but I think there could have been the potential for a liaison of some kind.” - Joseph Quinn (x)
“I really loved the scene that I got to do with Grace Van Dien in the woods in episode one.” - Joseph Quinn (x)
“’The Forest Scene’ was my favourite to film. After filming completed, the Duffers told me it’s one of their favourite scenes in all four seasons. Joe and I are so happy with it.” - Grace Van Dien (x)
