One Stranger Things Cast Member Isn’t Betting on a Season 5 Return

Given anything can happen in a show like Stranger Things, actor Sean Astin still doubts his character Bob will make an encore, even as a cameo, on the Netflix show.Few characters left an impact on audiences in such a short period as Barbara Holland from Stranger Things. Fans were instantly endeared to Barb playing the show’s best friend trope, and her close relationship with Nancy Wheeler offered hope she would be safe from being axed from the show. However, showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer had other plans for the secondary character; Barb mysteriously disappeared early in Season 1 and was later confirmed dead by Demagorgon before the pilot season’s finale. According to The Direct, actor Sean Astin thinks that his character Bob’s death in Season 2 is just as permanent.Astin was likely aware of fan theories that had his character resurrected, but he said that his return even in a flashback scene was highly implausible. He explained that “[fans would] say, ‘Are you gonna be in Stranger Things,’ and I would say, ‘No, I’m dead.’ But why couldn’t they do a flashback [for Season 5]… to a happier time with—I know why they won’t. Because it’s going to be Hopper and Joyce, and they’re not going to want to flashback to a time when she was actually happy.” With Stranger Things’ final season looming, Astin’s doubt is merited, since there are still plenty of story arcs to complete before the show wraps up.
