Happy International Women’s Day, my dear strangers! This is Mrs. Strange, and on today’s
episode for Stranger Universe, I will talk about the possibility of Suzie Poo coming
back for Stranger Things 5, joining the main gang in the final season!
Suzie Bingham is without a doubt one of the most popular fan favorite characters from
Stranger Things, even if her role has been small. She was name-dropped in the first episode
of Stranger Things 3, even getting the entire episode named after her. Then she saved the
world when she made her first on screen appearance at the end of that season, blowing everyone
away with her vocal skills and singing the Neverending Story with Dustin Henderson. Her
popularity definitely made a huge impression on the writers, since they brought her back
in a more prominent role for season 4 as opposed to a cameo like in season 3. In Stranger Things
4, Suzie’s intelligence was instrumental in the mission to rescue Eleven. Our gang
from California, including Mike Wheeler and Will Byers, met Dustin’s girlfriend and
her chaotic family in Salt Lake City, Utah. After giving them the coordinates of El’s
location in Nevada, Suzie finished playing her role in the events of season 4, and now
her participation in the remainder of the show is left up in the air, especially since
Stranger Things season 5 will take place entirely in Hawkins for the final war against Vecna.
In general, Suzie has been a smaller part in the story throughout the last two seasons.
However, we know the Duffer Brothers love writing fan service into the story. As such,
Suzie’s role could be increased even further in season 5, especially by doing the one thing
fans have been asking for: bringing her to Hawkins and making her a part of the gang.
We would finally see Suzie and Dustin interacting with each other on screen, and she could finally
meet Eleven and Max, the other girlfriends on the team. The last we saw of Dustin in
the show, he was mourning the death of Eddie Munson. This time around, he may not have
Steve to lean on since he will be caught up with Nancy and Jonathan. However, if the show
can finally bring Suzie over to Hawkins, we can see her comforting him. As a result, the
show would not only have more Dusty Bun and Suzie Poo interactions for the memes, but
the two could have a coming of age arc. It would also give Dustin someone else to interact
with as opposed to Steve, once again. Her role in the final season could also be helping
the team formulate strategies. She is an expert hacker, so she will be needed when Colonel
Sullivan and the military come down to Hawkins. It'd also help Argyle, our resident stoner,
get a shot at pursuing Suzie's older sister, Eden, but that’s if she also comes with
her to Hawkins. In general, Suzie is a fun intelligent character that could offer a lot
by being slightly more prevalent. She shouldn't be so prominent that she takes screentime
from other important members, but adding her to one of the squads for season 5 could help
raise the stakes a bit. As a matter of fact, including Suzie would also mean not needing
to add new characters in the final season, which is something the Duffers have been very
adamant about. We shall see if the creators of the show will consider bringing Suzie Poo
back into the action. Overall, very excitingtimes.
And that is all that we have for today! Do you think that Suzie will be involved in Stranger
Things 5? Will we see Dustin and Suzie sing the Neverending Story again?
