'Stranger Things' Writers Share Unscripted Moments From Season 4, Including That Second Kiss

SPOILER ALERT: Don't read if you haven't watched "Stranger Things 4" Episodes 8 & 9, currently streaming on Netflix.

With the second volume of Season 4 of "Stranger Things" now in the books, Netflix is ​​pulling back the curtain a bit on the creative behind the season's final two episodes. The verified "Stranger Things" writers room Twitter account, named "Stranger Writers", shared a few moments from recent episodes that weren't on the page prior to filming.

Many "Stranger Things" fans finally had their wishes granted when Winona Ryder's Joyce Byers and David Harbor's Jim Hopper shared a kiss after reuniting. Once another resident of Hawkins, Ind., Hopper began the fourth season of "Stranger Things" inside a mysterious Russian prison. A major storyline of the season involves him getting out of the institution.

While the couple's first kiss has been scripted, including the lengthy period of flirting beforehand, the writers have admitted that the second kiss, which comes as Hopper reassures Byers that the two will survive together, was added during filming, according to the "Stranger Things" writers room.

"This kiss was unscripted, Winona and David added it on the day of filming," the post read.

The writers also shared two other key exchanges that were creations of the actors. Metal enthusiast Eddie's last words to Gaten Matarazzo's Dustin ("I love you, man") were spoken by actor Joseph Quinn. Also, Lucas Sinclair's moan during a high-tension moment was an improvisation by actor Caleb McLaughlin.

"Stranger Things 4" Vol. 2 debuted on Netflix on July 1. For more, check out how the production landed Metallica's "Master of Puppets" for their final showdown.
