Claudia Henderson Aka Catherine Curtin
Dustin’s loving and playful mother, Claudia Henderson, played by Catherine Curtin, might not feature in Stranger Things Season 5. According to rumours, Curtin is too busy to return to the role. Claudia has always been a background character, but fans will definitely miss her playful and nurturing presence.
Dmitri Antonov Aka Enzo
Dmitri Antonov who played the role of Enzo in season 4 in helping Hopper escape from the Russian prison. However, with the story shifting back to Hawkins and the main characters now preparing for the ultimate battle against Venca, it is natural that his arc is likely to reach its conculsion.
Eduardo Franco Aka Argyle
Argyle, Jonathan’s eccentric and affable stoner buddy, was a fan favourite in Season 4 with his humour and master pizza-making skills. But actor Eduardo Franco dropped a bombshell by confirming that he never got a call to come back for Season 5 and said, “I never received a phone call, so that seems to be the situation.”
Gabriela Pizzolo Aka Suzie Bingham
Suzie who was Dustin’s genius girlfriend played by Gabriela Pizzolo, had a short but memorable stint in Season 4, assisting the team with hacking expertise. Her non-appearance in the official cast photo has fueled rumours that she won’t be included in the last season.
Linnea Berthelsen Aka Kali Prasad
Kali Prasad also known as Eight was an important part of Eleven’s storyline in Season 2 but since then she hasn’t been mentioned or seen, so it is doubtful that she will be back for the final season because all the focus for this is season is likely to be on Venca and the main Hawkins cast.
Joseph Quinn Aka Eddie Munson
Eddie Munson, the popular head of the Hellfire Club that fell victim to a tragic end in Season 4, sacrificing his life to contribute to Vecna’s defeat. Although there has been much speculation regarding his return, a photo leak showing Dustin paying his last respects to Eddie’s tombstone gives reasons to believe otherwise. .
