Come to the new hot spot all the happenin' teens ,and cool kids go to in Hawkins. The Starcourt Mall. Sadly we'll have to wait till 1986 for it open.
Spoiler:
Wonder if this new hot spot will be built on the former location of the Hawkins Energy Research Center ? Leading to some scenes of mall related terror like DAWN OF THE DEAD, CHOPPING MALL, and MALLRATS ?

Is it possible that in Season 3 (or 4) Johnathan or Steve could end up getting Nancy pregnant?

I mean, yeah, it's possible for the writers to think of that, and thus it's possible that it could happen in the show.

Here's another idea : Should the series eventually include a battle between 2 monsters?

Could there be a possibility that any of the main cast could be revealed as LGBT? If so, I am guessing Will would be.

Why does it matter?
Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.

I am just curious. It would be beneficial for some LGBT representation in the series. Also, I have some other theories regarding Billy :

1. He will willingly let himself get possessed by the Mind Flayer to enact revenge on the gang.
2. He will murder his abusive father alas Henry Bowers of It fame.
3. He will end up having an affair with Mike Wheeler's mom as a shocking twist.

Representation for the sake of fulfilling some daft quota would not be beneficial at all.

As in 'quota that is a dumb and arbitrary,' I believe.

That will not be a shocking twist at all. If anything, their moment together in the last episode was foreshadowing. :P

They already have a gay character though, so that quota's been filled.

It's possible that the writers might have some reason to make a character gay that - shocking as this may seem - is in no way about filling a quota.

The abusive brother to the new girl that was introduced in Season 2.

He was? I had not realized that (or had forgotten, if it was explicitly indicated).

Yeah, his mannerisms, the way he acted around people, all screamed that he was gay but couldn't say anything because his dad is clearly a homophobe. As such, he vents out his frustration by bullying others.

You all suspect that Billy is gay, yet he clearly showed attraction to Ms.Wheeler. If he’s not gay, maybe he’s at least bisexual.
