As Stranger Things comes to a close, the cast has opened up about their reactions to the highly anticipated Season 5 ending. In interviews, several actors described the finale as emotional, intense, and deeply meaningful for their characters.

Honestly, that last bit of Sink’s story feels like a true gut punch of a moment. Of course, at that point, she’d still yet to actually film her final scenes as Max. Later on in the interview, the Fear Street star recalled that “last day,” and she explained why that occasion was “weird” more than anything else:

In a recent conversation with Collider’s Steve Weintraub ahead of the latest batch of episodes for Stranger Things 5, Noah Schnapp reflected on the truth of the Upside Down coming into view, the pressure behind Will’s long-awaited coming out scene,

Sitting down and looking at his best friend Mike (played by Finn Wolfhard), mom Joyce (Winona Ryder), brother Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and more, Will is his most vulnerable self. After making it clear that he is gay, his friends and family proudly support him and tell him they will always be by his side.

Randy Havens plays the character of Scott Clarke, and has a recurring role in the first, second, third, and fifth seasons of Stranger Things.

Over the course of the five “Stranger Things” seasons, the show has seen several tragic deaths, including Barbara “Barb” Holland, Bob Newby and Eddie Munson. So ahead of the Season 5 finale in Vol. 3, creators Matt and Ross Duffer, known as the Duffer brothers, address fan speculations that characters will die.

Will Byers ( Noah Schnapp) takes a big leap of faith in the penultimate episode of Stranger Things 5.

With Stranger Things approaching its long-awaited and highly-anticipated series finale, creators the Duffer Brothers are beginning to open up about what fans can expect from the show’s most ambitious chapters yet.

Those frustrations escalated when an anonymous source claiming insider knowledge allegedly reached out to several fan accounts on social media. The source claimed that multiple scenes were cut from Volume 2 before its release, including expanded moments between Will and Mike and a supposed fake out death involving Will.

Some of the original main cast is getting little to zero screen time,’ complained one fan. ‘I mean, what are doing here?’
