Chapter One: The Hellfire Club - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: Tammy Thompson's voice changes octaves as she sings the National Anthem. At the start, she's in a normal mezzo range. When the camera cuts from her to the back-and-forth dialogue between Steve, Robin, and Vickie, her voice then changes downscale to a very noticeable alto.
Answer: Technically Steve was never intended to die in Stranger Things. The Duffer brothers wrote a pilot script for a miniseries called Montauk that would eventually become Stranger Things. In that version of the story Steve is a more overtly villainous character and is killed by a monster. The Steve character was reworked once Stranger Things was created due to Joe Keery's more likeable approach to the character.
