Steve Harrington is a 35 year old teacher at Hawkins high school as well as a baseball and basketball coach. He comes back at the beginning of a school year and has a new colleague. Or at least he thinks she is new. She's a transfer from Hawkins middle school and a former Hawkins high school grad who he doesn't recognize but she recognizes him immediately. Alexandrina Munson (age 33) is a voluntary transfer teacher to Hawkins high school taking over the 9th grade reading and writing classes as well as the drama club. Never popular in high school, she wasn't unpopular either. She existed in the weird space where people knew her as kind and quiet but never took too much notice beyond that. She was never mean, never loud and never caused any issues. She got decent grades, avoided drama like it was a plague and preferred the company of books and writing to parties. Steve may not remember her but she remembers him and unlike most people from Hawkins high she doesn't avoid Steve Harrington because he was King Steve. She doesn't hate Steve, she is kind and open to him because it's who she is. Her cousin, Eddie (yes, he's alive and well) once suggested after the Hawkins earthquake he set Steve up with his cousin Allie. She attended basketball games with Robin, attended Corroded Coffin shows to support Eddie and volunteered with after school clubs tutoring kids in reading and writing. Billy Hargrove showed interest in her during his senior year much to Eddie's dismay. And they dated briefly and ended messily as most of Billy's relationships did with tears, bruises and threats from Eddie to stay away from Allie. She didn't date much after that. Now as an adult she is healing from her past with her cousins help, working with Steve and Robin at the high school and learning what life is like when you take a chance on the teacher next door.

Just Joe- Joe Keery
Joe was hyper aware that everyone knew him as "Steve Harrington", and as much as that character had given him absolutely everything, he felt a pang of regret whenever he heard someone call his name from across the street, reaching for their phone before they had even said hello. He wanted to be "Just Joe". She, Iva Wilder, was anything but "known". A friend who would do absolutely anything for the people she cares about, a ride at 2am, a couch to crash on when things were tough. Iva always felt she was stuck in time, frozen still. Coming from a family with people who were very successful, she felt she didn't have the courage to do what she truly wanted, what her life calling was. When the two find each other in wraths of all the unknown, they find that sometimes things are just, that simple.Complete

Firebound// JJ Maybank
Outer Banks Season One Rewrite with OC Liana Celia Routledge has always been a wildcard-fiercely loyal, quick-witted, and just reckless enough to make life interesting. Growing up on the Cut with her twin brother, John B, and the Pogues, she's never needed more than sun-soaked days, weed, and the kind of friendships that feel like family. But when they stumble upon a long-lost mystery that could finally lead them to the truth about their father, everything changes. As the hunt for the legendary Royal Merchant treasure intensifies, so does the danger lurking in the shadows of their island home. Liana is used to playing with fire, but this time, the stakes are higher than ever. Through storms, betrayals, and buried secrets, she leans on the Pogues-especially JJ Maybank, the one person who has always matched her chaos step for step. Their flirty banter has always been just that-harmless fun. But as the world around them spirals out of control, the lines start to blur. And Liana can't ignore the way JJ looks at her anymore... or the way she's starting to look back. With their loyalty tested and enemies closing in, the Pogues will have to fight to keep what matters most-their freedom, their family, and the truth hidden beneath the waves. This summer, the Outer Banks will never be the same.Complete
