Stranger Things: What do the parallels between Will and Billy mean ahead of season 4?

As fans wait eagerly for season four of Strangers Things they have found some interesting parallels in the show between Billy Hargrove and Will Byers.

The connections drawn between the two characters, played by Dacre Montgomery and Noah Schnapp respectively, comes after a fan theory that Will accidentally created the Upside Down.

Reddit user Camilla2244 posted of the parallels: Both are called William I assume (Will and Billy). Both had awful father figures. However, one grew up with his loving mother (Winona Ryder) and the other grew up with an abusive father, and they turned out very differently.

I have this theory that if Billy would have survived maybe he could have somehow bonded with Will or something, they wrote.

Another fan responded to the theory by simply writing: Billiam.

In season three of the hit science fiction horror series we see the kids team up to tackle even bigger monsters and Russian spies.

Sadly just as Billy, whose character arc to villainy climaxes in the latest season, redeems himself he is killed by the monster.

Will, and the rest of the main characters survive, bar Jim Hopper (David Harbour), who gets caught up in an explosion.

But a final cliffhanger has left open the possibility that Elevens dad actually survived, and fans have leapt onto this with their own theories.

Perhaps even more important than the potential return of Hopper in the next season is the return of Steves famous hair.

Stranger Things fans have been mourning actor Joe Keerys new bowl cut and longing for his luscious locks.
