Sadie Sink wasn't happy with the idea of kissing Caleb McLaughlin during 'Stranger Things,' but if she hadn't kicked up such a fuss about the idea of doing so, it would probably never have happened. Ross Duffer, who co-created the show, was joking around with Sink by telling her that he was going to have her and McLaughlin kiss at the Snow Ball. At the time, he had no intention of doing so. He was so amused by Sink's reaction that he decided to go ahead and include the scene.
While Sink went ahead and did it like a professional, we do have questions about how appropriate this was. It would be one thing for a director to prank an adult actor like this, but both Sink and McLaughlin were only fifteen when the scenes were shot. There's a line between pranking and bullying, and we can't help but feel that this little stunt might have crossed it.
