In a video from Beyond Stranger Things, Ross Duffer, one of the show’s co-creators said that Sink’s reaction to the kiss was strong saying she freaked out so it was her fault that she had to kiss Caleb McLaughlin in the show. The scene was added to the script after Sadie Sink was stressed out by the idea of kissing her co-star. Sink, on the other hand, responded to the controversy saying that she was nervous, of course, because it was her first kiss. However, she never objected to it and she wasn’t pushed to do it either. She also added that the Duffer Brothers always create a comfortable workspace. And, if she had felt uncomfortable with the scene, she wouldn’t have done it.
