Spoilers for Haunted Hotel Season 2.
Shayna’s romantic detour with Stabby Paul is one of Season 2’s strangest little character beats: they get together, but the relationship doesn’t last because Paul comes on too strong. The joke fits the show’s deliberately awkward take on romance—and leaves just enough room for a possible connection later.
That plot point is described in JustWatch’s Season 2 Shayna explainer, which says Shayna breaks up with Stabby Paul because he is too clingy, while hinting she may still have some interest in him by the end. This is a spoiler-filled plot recap, not a promise that the pair will become an ongoing couple.
Why Shayna and Stabby Paul’s romance is so short-lived
Shayna has spent much of her time at the Undervale keeping people at arm’s length. Her brief relationship with Stabby Paul plays like a gag about mismatched boundaries: what might feel like enthusiasm to one person can feel overwhelming to another. The series doesn’t turn the breakup into a major melodrama; it remains a quick, weirdly funny side story inside a much stranger haunted-hotel workplace.
It also gives Shayna a little personal life beyond the attic mystery and her new job. But the available recap suggests the season doesn’t fully resolve the relationship: there may still be a spark, even after the breakup.
Who is Stabby Paul? Duncan Trussell’s role
Stabby Paul is voiced by comedian and podcaster Duncan Trussell. Entertainment Weekly’s cast guide identifies Trussell as the voice behind the character and pairs his real-life image with the animated role. That real-person connection matters here: Trussell is the performer behind the bizarrely named character, not the person experiencing the fictional breakup.

What fans are saying—and what is actually confirmed
Season 2’s general discussion thread includes viewers reacting to the season’s extra romance and calling Shayna’s moment with Stabby Paul funny. That supports the idea that the pairing caught some fans’ attention, but it doesn’t establish a large-scale social-media trend. The breakup detail comes from a published season explainer; “too clingy” is not being presented as a direct quote from Netflix marketing.

Will Shayna and Stabby Paul get back together?
For now, the safest answer is: maybe, but it is not confirmed. The available recap suggests Shayna may still favor a connection with Paul by the season’s end, yet that is not the same as a confirmed future romance. A third season has not been announced in the sources referenced here, so any continuation remains speculation.
