![]() … It's so cliché, but you really need to take care of yourself and take pride in your individuality, because honestly, when you get older, that's going to be so much more important than hanging out with the cool kids. ND: I have a 12-year-old sister who's just starting to get into that whole kids are mean and your face is breaking out and it's a lot of stress and a lot is out of your control. Do you have any advice for anybody who is going through that shift themselves? TV: Nancy spends a lot of time navigating the different social circles of high school. I think it's more interesting, and it is nice and refreshing to see her say, "Slow down," and he listens. Again, in the original pilot, he totally did and it was not good. ND: It's definitely not that surface relationship thing where she's a dainty girl and the cool guy and he takes advantage of her. TV: There's this really great moment in the first episode, where Nancy tells Steve "no" when he’s trying to go further than she’s comfortable with. I don't think either of them know what it is, but I'd be excited to see where that goes in season two. ![]() I'm not going to deny that there's obviously some kind of chemistry between Jonathan and Nancy. So she ends up with Steve at the end, and I think that's where she should be. They wanted to keep him around and explore his character. ![]() They ended up rewriting it because Joe is a very charming, nice guy and he's just too likable. I will say that, in the original pilot, Jonathan was the clear choice because Steve was just such a jerk. TV: How did you and Joe develop the dynamic between Nancy and Steve, and with Charlie for her dynamic with Jonathan? They're very open to collaborating, I think, which is a gift. I trust the writers of the show to make a really good arc. They do ask for our opinions about what we think and what we might think could happen and we think the character going. They're super cool and super approachable. ND: We definitely talk and just hang out. It's a different kind of movie, for sure. ND: I had never seen the classics with Molly Ringwald, like Pretty in Pink or Sixteen Candles, or '80s horror, like Poltergeist, Close Encounters, and Nightmare on Elm Street. Have you watched a lot of '80s movies prior to taking on the role? TV: The older sister character is such a mainstay trope in ‘80s movies - Jeannie in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and Lisa in Dirty Dancing, for example. Of course, there's this whole love triangle thing that people are very interested in, but she has goals and drive and she's on a mission. I think what I really like is she doesn't just stay the love interest. You usually find a girl-next-door kind of thing. They're very cool parts to play, and you don't find them everywhere. ND: Right? Between Winona and Millie, it's cool to see strong leading ladies. TV: It feels like the show is definitely driven by female characters. … That's credit to the Duffers for being great writers, and hope to get more of that in season two. … As her character developed, she ended up just everything I could hope for - really, just, cool - and I think she's turning into a really strong, self-sufficient girl. I had a lot of different social groups, always trying to figure out where really fit in. When asked what kind of role would she like to play next, Natalia Dyer sportingly replied, “I’m always interested in any role that you have to learn something outside of yourself for, whether it’s a skill or an accent.Natalia Dyer: I see some similarities to her in high school and me in high school - just the way that she straddles groups. ![]() It’s a lot of fun, I’m always like, ‘I could definitely do this for a couple of months!’” But I did really enjoy the moments of doing crazy running or fighting. ![]() Taling about her favourite scenes from the series, Dyer said, “I feel like a lot of the work I’ve done – which of course I’ve loved and want to keep doing – has been emotionally challenging. There’s a lot of go, go, go, but I think we always really relish the scenes where there are conservations with heart and dialogue where you really get to see what’s going on emotionally in their lives.” I think we’re all deeply invested in our characters at this point so I think everyone wants those moments where they get to really see inside of their character’s mind. She said, “Nancy’s had such an incredible journey and an incredible arc, and I feel very grateful to get to play that. ![]()
