Last Wednesday, we got new characters and actors officially announced for Stranger Things
season 4, with one of them being the very controversial cheerleader, Chrissy. A character
that lots of people thought would steal Mike away from Eleven, Chrissy is being played
by 24-year-old actress Grace Van Dien, so it is very hard to see her in a love triangle
with 18-year-old Finn Wolfhard and 17-year-old Millie Bobby Brown. In that case, Chrissy
would be more likely to get together with Jonathan and Steve than Mike, because her
character is definitely around the age range of high school seniors and not the freshmen
like our main party. She was first leaked by Murphy’s Multiverse last year right before
the pandemic. Her initial character description was the following: “At first glance, “Chrissy”
is your typical super popular cheerleader type; upon closer inspection, we’ll learn
that she’s holding onto a deep-rooted darkness as she suffers under her mother’s emotional
abuse.” Before she was cast, rumors were going around that Brooklyn Shuck was going
to play Chrissy, while others were claiming that it was going to be Oona Laurence. It
wasn’t until a while later that Grace Van Dien herself was heavily rumored for the role.
This was due to certain hints on her social media, most notably her interaction with one
of the writers on Twitter and following all the cast members on Instagram. She also followed
new actors like Eduardo Franco and Mason Dye, with the latter playing Chrissy’s onscreen
boyfriend and high school jock, Jason Carver, which we’ll all talk about in a bit. After
a few months of undeniable proof, Grace Van Dien was finally announced last week alongside
other new cast members. Before she was cast, Jade Pettyjohn auditioned for the role of
Chrissy, and her audition was leaked to the internet. Before I show you, here’s a massive
spoiler warning. Her audition reveals dialogue for Chrissy from season 4 as well as potential
major spoilers due to what is implied to happen in the scene. Once again, spoiler warning.
Let’s take a look.
“Hey, are you alright?” “Yeah, yeah I’m fine.” “Are you sure?” “Yeah,
just please, go away.” “Whatever you say.” “Are you deaf? I said just please go away!”
“Chrissy.” “Mom?” “Are you ready to try the dress again? It’s in the back
of the room for you.” …….. “Chrissy, did you hear me?” “No. Just leave me alone.
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE? PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! NO, GO AWAY! GO AWAY! PLEASE JUST GO
AWAY! GOOO AWWWAAAAAYYYY!”
Well, that was intense. Right off the bat, it’s worth noting that the official character
account for Chrissy revealed last week was that she will be “Hawkins’ High lead cheerleader
and the most popular girl in school. But beneath the seemingly perfect surface lies a dark
secret.” As seen in her previously leaked description and in this audition tape, her
“dark secret” is most likely referring to her mother and suffering under her emotional
abuse. However, we don’t know if that was her mother in person or some sort of nightmare
sequence. In another segment of this audition with Pettyjohn, as well as another tape featuring
Eddie Munson, it is revealed that Eddie will be selling drugs to Chrissy, who is code named
“Molly Wilson” in other auditions. From the looks of it, he sells her some special
drug right before a major basketball game, and after she takes it, Chrissy seems to suffer
some intense side effects that send her running to the bathroom. From there, things get very
intriguing. I’m pretty sure that her “mother” in this scene is actually an apparition of
sorts, and that Chrissy herself was most likely transported to a dream state or maybe even
the Upside Down itself. As for Chrissy herself, it actually sounds like she gets killed in
this scene or right after it, or she gets in a horrific accident that serves as the
catalyst for the town of Hawkins freaking out. An example of this is in an audition
tape for Jason, who immediately blames Eddie and the Hellfire Club over what happened to
Chrissy. He dubs them “satanists,” which only adds more fuel to the fire that Hawkins
is going through its satanic panic phase of the 80s. Speaking of Jason, you remember those
set photos of Mike and Dustin standing right outside of Hawkins High? Well it looks like
the cheerleader and the guy talking to them are Chrissy and Jason. You can also see Shawn
Levy with them, so who knows what this scene will be about. With Grace Van Dien cast in
a recurring role, and the likelihood of Chrissy dying in the very first episode, it looks
like she won’t see much of Chrissy. That alone should calm most of us down in regards
to new characters stealing the spotlight from old characters. Hopefully, we shall see what
exactly happens to Chrissy in that bathroom scene. Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today. Do you think Chrissy will die in Stranger Things
4?
