Previous Season 5 Set Photos May Tease A Possible Tragedy.
As the only Wheeler child who has missed most of the Upside Down action and drama, it will be intriguing to hear Holly’s perspective on past events, along with her perspective of what is happening now in Hawkins.
Holly may be following a similar trajectory as Lucas Sinclair’s (Caleb McLaughlin) sister, Erica Sinclair (Priah Nicole Ferguson), who was a minorStranger Thingscharacterin season 2 before playing a more prominent role in seasons 3 and 4. Season 5 may featureHolly becoming just as involved with “the gang” as Erica hasfor the past two seasons. As the only Wheeler child who has missed most of the Upside Down action and drama, it will be intriguing to hear Holly’s perspective on past events, along with her perspective of what is happening now in Hawkins.
Seeing her with Mike presents the promising prospect of her older brother taking her under his wing, arole for Mike that the series hasn’t yet explored. Her older sister Nancy (Natalia Dyer) can also teach her many valuable lessons. Furthermore, her elevated appearance means that Holly has a bigger role inStranger Thingsseason 5, as teased in previous set photos. In particular, a set photo featured Holly interacting with Vecna in human form, which could hint at a possible tragedy for the Wheeler family. This lines up with a rumored episode titled “The Vanishing of [Blank] Wheeler,” which could refer to Holly.
Stranger Things Season 5 Teases A Wheeler Family Tragedy (It’s Not Mike)
Stranger Things season 5 is teasing a Wheeler family tragedy as Vecna seems to be targeting one of them, and it’s not Mike or Nancy.
If all three Wheeler children are actively involved in the fight against Vecna and the forces of the Upside Down, Karen Wheeler (Cara Buono) will bemore worried than ever before about what all of her children are up to, especially since the Upside Down’s impact on Hawkins is now publicly visible. As the final season ofStranger Things, it’s exciting that even previously minor characters like Holly may get to play a more substantial role.
