Stranger Things has concluded with its series finale on Netflix UK and Ireland, leaving viewers with answers to many questions but also a lingering mystery about the fate of Dustin Henderson's girlfriend, Suzie Bingham. Played by Gabriella Pizzolo, Suzie appeared in seasons three and four but was notably absent from the final season, prompting speculation among fans on Reddit.
Many viewers have theorised about why Suzie was not present in season five. One fan suggested that Dustin's grief over Eddie Munson's death may have caused him to become cold and distant, leading to a breakup. Another noted that Suzie's Mormon father forbade her from speaking to Dustin after discovering their relationship, and that the lockdown in Hawkins prevented them from contacting each other.
Suzie last appeared in season four, episode six, where she helped the California group find a computer in Nevada, believing it was for a gaming console for Dustin's birthday. Her father's disapproval and the confiscation of her computer hinted at the challenges facing their long-distance relationship. Fans speculate that a combination of grief, lockdown restrictions, and parental opposition led to the end of their romance.
Another character whose fate was left unresolved is Argyle, played by Eduardo Franco. He witnessed the downfall of Hawkins in the season four finale but did not appear in season five, leading to theories that he escaped before the military lockdown. While the main series has ended, an animated spin-off, Stranger Things: Tales from '85, is set for release in 2026, exploring the Hawkins universe further.
