In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Quinn discussed Eddie’s journey, and his development throughout the season.
“I think that’s such a big part of Eddie’s story. It’s a redemption tale. I think he’s completely haunted by his inability to do anything to save Chrissy and how powerless he was at that moment. And obviously being blamed for that murder is devastating and then having to go into hiding. I think he gets a little bored with feeling pathetic and unable to do anything. And then at some point in episode 8, a switch flips, and he decides that he’s going to prove himself. The opportunity then arises, but he has to pay the ultimate price. But he proves to himself that he certainly isn’t a coward.”
Whether or not Eddie makes a physical reappearance, his impact on the story and the fans is undeniable. There is little information available about the upcoming season, but it will take place after the events of season four with the whole cast expected to return.
All four seasons of Stranger Things are available on Netflix.
