Finally, justice had been served for one of the characters who was mercilessly killed by the Demogorgon in the first season of Netflix's hit sci-fi thriller series "Stranger Things."
Fans who were seeking justice for Barb, or Barbara Holland, who was played by Emmy nominee Shannon Purser, finally saw the details about the death Nancy's (Natalia Dyer) best friend. People had started questioning the lack of explanation for her death and the fact that show only mentioned on her death when Nancy went looking for her. Although "Stranger Things" season 1 was intended to focus largely on finding Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), many still felt that Barb's death was not resolved properly.
For the second season of the "Stranger Things," the Duffer brothers, Ross and Matt, finally gave details on Barb. The Hollywood Reporter noted that Barb still had a place in the second run although she remained deceased. Executive Shawn Levy also insisted that Barb's storyline was always planned out to eventually roll out, even before the clamor for the character's justice had begun.
The brains behind the "Stranger Things" also divulged that the actress herself or flashbacks would not be necessary to bring justice to the character. "The idea is that she's gone, and we didn't want the audience to get the relief of seeing her again," Ross added.
"Stranger Things" season 2 will see Nancy still upset over Barb's death, which would affect her relationship with Steve Harrington (Joe Keery). Fans will see Nancy blame herself for her best friend's death. This will prompt Nancy to seek justice for her friend while being extremely close with Will's brother, Jonathan (Charlie Heaton).
Their efforts would lead to a team up with investigative reporter Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman). The findings have prompted the media to take the report, which meant that the truth was revealed. Finally, Barb's parents got the real story on their daughter's death. It also meant closure for Nancy.
