In Stranger Things Season 4, Mike and Eleven, along with all the other characters, did forget Will's birthday on screen. The show's creators, the Duffer Brothers, later admitted this was an unintentional continuity error and not a purposeful narrative choice by the characters.
In the first episode of s4, the title card says March 21st, 1986, and they could have honestly just left it at that! But then they just had to remind us of the date again on the camcorder at Rink-O-Mania in 4x02 being March 22nd (Will's birthday). Really subtle, so subtle it honestly wasn't even necessary.
Yes, according to the show's creators, Mike did realize that Will's "crush" in his coming-out speech referred to him, even though it wasn't explicitly stated in dialogue; his reaction shots and subsequent apology scene were designed to show he understood the depth of Will's feelings, though the payoff for their storyline was minimal in the finale.
The Duffer Brothers explain its a continuity error- they forgot the fact Joyce clearly told Will his birthday was March 22 when trying to break the control the Mindflayer had over Will.
Born April 7, 1971, Michael "Mike" Wheeler was the second child and the only son of Ted and Karen Wheeler.
Before they embark into the Upside Down, Will comes out as gay to his family and close friends, explaining that Vecna showed him visions of his failed and distant relationships with his loved ones after they learnt the truth.
If Nancy is 4 years older than Mike, born in 1967 compared to Mike's 1971, how is Nancy a senior in season 4 but Mike is a freshman?
Unsurprisingly, February 29 th is the least common birthday. Because Leap Day only rolls around every four years, there's only a 1/1,461 chance of being born on this day (versus 1/365 for any other given day).
Vecna targets Will Byers because Will shares deep psychic similarities, being a sensitive outsider, and became a crucial anchor or "phylactery" for Vecna's power after being connected to the Mind Flayer; Vecna sees Will as a vessel, a mirror of himself, and potentially a key to his immortality, needing him alive to maintain his own strength while also wanting to corrupt and use him.
In Stranger Things Season 5, Eleven is generally considered to be 16 or 17 years old, aligning with the show's timeline set in late 1987, though some reports vary slightly between 16 and 17, with the character still being a teenager despite the actress, Millie Bobby Brown, being older. The final season picks up about four years after Season 1, with the main kids (Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will) around 16-17, matching the high school years.
Yes, it is canon that Will Byers has romantic feelings for Mike Wheeler; actor Noah Schnapp and the show's creators have confirmed Will's sexuality and love for Mike, building on years of subtle hints and emotional moments within the series, especially prominent in Season 4 and leading into Season 5, where Will's struggle with these feelings and coming out are central to his storyline.
Eventually, she finally told him after the guilt was building up inside of her. Mike then storms out of the apartment and heads to Logan's condo to beat him up. Logan then tells him that she didn't just like the kiss, she loved it. Mike then ended things with Rachel, but they eventually reconciled.
When Nancy is talking with Mrs. Holland on the phone, she tells her a lie about Barb being at the library. Ironically, this would turn out to be true, as her corpse was found in the Upside Down version of the library.
In its five seasons, "Stranger Things" killed off a handful of named characters. We ranked all the major deaths in the series by their level of sadness. Fan-favorite characters like Barb, Bob, and Eddie suffered some of the most heartbreaking fates.
Hawkins Lab faked Will Byers' death in Stranger Things Season 1 as a cover-up to hide the existence of the Upside Down, the monster, and their own secret experiments, planting a fake body to stop the town's search and prevent public panic, especially to keep Eleven's disappearance and the lab's involvement secret. Dr. Brenner orchestrated the fake autopsy and planted the dummy in the quarry after the real Will was taken by the Demogorgon, providing a false resolution to his disappearance.
While Nancy Wheeler loses her virginity to Steve Harrington, Barb Holland awakens in a waterless, dark version of Steve's pool, every surface covered in fleshy black vines.
Yes, the Demogorgon did essentially "impregnate" Will in Stranger Things Season 1 by implanting a slug-like larva into him, using his body as a host to grow and produce more creatures for the hive mind, a process that was later revealed to be part of Vecna's larger plan. Will coughed up this larva, which then hatched into a polywog (stage two of the Demogorgon life cycle), demonstrating how the Upside Down creatures reproduce and spread, as seen with Barb Holland as well.
In 1959, Henry Creel's age is debated within Stranger Things lore, with Season 4 suggesting he was around 12 years old, but the canon stage play The First Shadow and Season 5 retcon place him as a 14-year-old high school freshman alongside Joyce and Hopper, born around 1945/1947. So, while older sources say 12, recent canon confirms he was likely 14 in 1959, attending school.
Your diamond birthday — also known as a platinum birthday — is when your age matches the last two digits of your birth year. For example, if you were born in 2010, your diamond birthday is when you turn 10 years old. If you were born in 1981, your diamond birthday is when you turn 81 years old.
The 4th, 7th, 8th, 22nd, and 17th are believed to be ill-fated by some. Additionally, the superstition around Friday the 13th can add to the sense of caution for those born in October.
The answer in probability is quite surprising: in a group of at least 23 randomly chosen people, the probability that some pair of them having the same birthday is more than 50%. For 57 or more people, the probability reaches more than 99%. And of course, the probability reaches 100% if there are 367 or more people.
Natalia Dyer. Natalia Danielle Dyer (born January 13, 1995) is an American actress. She is best known for her role as Nancy Wheeler in the Netflix science fiction horror series Stranger Things (2016–2025).
Millie Bobby Brown was 12 years old when Stranger Things Season 1 premiered in July 2016, having filmed the show when she was 11, making her and her character, Eleven, around the same age during the first season. She was born in February 2004, so she was just 11 during filming but turned 12 by the time it aired, fitting perfectly with the show's 12-year-old characters.
As the party winds down, Nancy goes up to Steve's room and has sex with him, leaving Barb by the pool where she disappears. When Barb is not at school the next day, Nancy is immediately concerned and increasingly worries that something has happened to her.
