In a pic post by Ross Duffer , the name ofone mystery character is crossed out on the call weather sheet for sequence 1 ofStranger Thingsseason 5.This could have been a path to build suspense , avoid spoilers , or conceal the unknown name of a raw character . look on Duffer ’s reasoning for redacting this particular character ’s name , it could be an live favorite from past season making a takings , a asleep character upraise or featured in a never - before - seen flashback , or a brand - new theatrical role all . The possibilities are dateless , but a few characters seem more probable or would simply be more exciting to see again than others .

7Eddie Munson

Played by Joseph Quinn

The first character that comes to listen isthe allegedly deceased Eddie Munson . believe to be a Satan - worshipping cult leader by many mass in the town , Eddie became the prime suspect for a string of murders in Hawkins that were really Vecna ’s doing . Still in hide from the police force , Eddie join forces with the rest of the core bunch to essay to take down Vecna .

He was finally torn to rag by Demobats and believed to be dead , butcountless theories have mobilize about his true fate and possible returnsince the season 4 finis . Onetheory is that Eddie will return as the Kas character from Dungeons & Dragons , who sour into a lamia from exposure to bats . It ’s also been speculated that time of year 5 may reveal that Eddie is n’t really deadened at all , since Dustin had to exit his body behind in the Upside Down . Whether he never really died , is upraise as a vampire , or just appears in a flashback , Eddie ’s restoration in the season 5 premiere is a strong possibility .

6Barbara “Barb” Holland

Played by Shannon Purser

Another fictional character who could make a return from beyond the grave is Nancy ’s former unspoiled friend , Barb Holland . In season 1 , Barb ’s mysterious disappearance was explain when Eleven incur her dead consistence in the Upside Down , revealing that she had been kill by the Demogorgon . While anything is possible in the world of sci - fi , including resurrections , Barb ’s death feels set in stone . Unlike Eddie , it does not seem likely at all that the show will institute her back from the bushed or discover that her death in the Upside Down did n’t actually happen or " enumerate " and that she ’s been alive and well the whole time .

Since season 1 , flashback have sport archival footage of Barb , but perhaps Shannon Purser will return as Barb in some brand - new flashback footage in theStranger Thingsseason 5 premiere . As escort in her encounter with Vecna while under his curse , Nancy still has n’t fully recovered from Barb ’s deathand carries the psychic trauma and guilt around with her . Considering how much Barb ’s expiry still impacts Nancy to this Clarence Shepard Day Jr. , it would make sense for Barb to return in some capacity for give Nancy closure .

5Bob Newby

Played by Sean Astin

Joyce ’s ex - boyfriend , Bob Newby , could also make a return in the time of year 5 premiere in some never - before - reckon flashback , like he did in season 3 . In season 2 , after help to save Will , Bob was fatally attacked by a pack of Demodogs . The following time of year , he appear in a flashback boast unseen footage of him and Joyce watching video together .

Unfortunately , Sean Astin has stated that he will not bereturning as Bob inStranger Thingsseason 5because even a happy flashback would mess up with Joyce and Hopper ’s romance plot . However , this would be all the more understanding to hidehis character ’s name on the call sheet . If Bob did return in time of year 5 , despite Astin ’s claims , the Duffers would in all likelihood want to keep this under wraps to maintain the surprise .

4Linda Hamilton’s New Unnamed Character

Played by Linda Hamilton

It ’s also possible that the mystery character appearing in the season 5 premiere is a marque - raw character making their series debut . It was announce thatLinda Hamilton will be joining the cast ofStranger Thingsin time of year 5 . Hamilton is a legendary LXXX sci - fi actor best love for starring inThe Terminatorfranchise . Very little is known about the role Hamilton will be playing inStranger thing , admit the name of her character reference . It would make sense to frustrate out Hamilton ’s fiber ’s name on the call canvas if the Duffers require to keep it a secret and keep off an outpouring of question about the individuality of this unknown new player in the Upside Down saga .

3Terry Ives

Played by Aimee Mullins

The mystery character could also be an existing , living lineament pass water a surprisal return key , such asTerry Ives , Eleven ’s birth mother . Terry got significant with Eleven ( whose birth name is Jane ) while she was a participant in Project MKUltra under Dr. Brenner ’s superintendence , who performed experiments on her by give way her head - vary substance and position her in a sensory deprivation cooler ( like he later did to Eleven ) . After giving birth at Hawkins Lab , Terry witnessed Brenner kidnap her baby but was incorrectly told she had go wrong . Brenner turned Jane into a child tryout case at the research lab , where she became Eleven .

After an stillborn causa against Brenner and the science laboratory , Terry seek to retrieve Jane by force but was captured and given electroshock therapy , which put her in a catatonic state . Terry remain in this state but was able-bodied to communicate with Eleven in season 2 through their shared powers , countenance Eleven to uncover a short ton of newfangled selective information through Terry ’s memories . Terry was last seen via flashback inStranger Thingsseason 4 , butshe is still animated and could return in the season 5 premiere either through new flashback or in the human body .

2Kali Prasad/Eight

Played by Linnea Berthelsen and Vanathi Parthiban

Another living character from Eleven ’s yesteryear whose name could ’ve been hidden on the call sheet isKali Prasad , also known as Eight , Dr. Brenner ’s 8th youngster test subject at Hawkins Lab . Due to the memory loss she abide after banishing One to the Upside Down , Eleven did n’t remember Kali from the lab until she saw her in Terry ’s visual modality and tracked her down in season 2 . Kali managed to escape the lab at some point beforeStranger Thingsbegan and made it her life ’s mission to seek retaliation on the people from the science lab for the pain they inflict on her and the other children .

The jr. interpretation of Kali ( played by Vanathi Parthiban ) was show in Eleven ’s repressed computer memory in season 4 . However , grown - up Kali has only appeared in the season 2 episode , " Chapter Seven : The Lost Sister . " Given everything that ’s happened since , it would make a slew of mother wit for her to generate in the final season . With the reveal of One ’s true identity , backstory , and transformation into Vecna as well as the death of Dr. Brenner , Kali has a lot to catch up on . She could also potentially declare oneself the gang a ton of useful information in their pursuance to take down Vecna and bring through Hawkins .

1Vecna/One/Henry Creel

Played by Jamie Campbell Bower & Raphael Luce

At theend ofStranger Thingsseason 4 , part 1 , it was revealed that the a la mode villain , whom the boy named Vecna , was Victor Creel ’s boy , Henry Creel , who became Dr. Brenner ’s first trial topic , One , and subsequently farm up to be the Hawkins Lab orderly who allied with Eleven . It seemed like Vecna would eventually be defeated in the season 4 close until the gates converged , splitting the whole town of Hawkins into two and ostensibly unify it with the Upside Down . Of of course , the lasting consequence of Vecna ’s action will bear upon time of year 5 , butit also seems inevitable that the character of Vecna will yield in time of year 5 .

However , if he give in the premiere , there are several reasons the role ’s name would ’ve been concealed on the call sheet . For one , the character appears at many different phase of his life story onStranger Thingsbecause of his surprisal apportion identity element . If the untried adaptation of the character ( encounter by Raphael Luce ) seem in the season 5 premiere in flashback , then he would probably be referred to as Henry Creel on the call sail .

" Vecna " could also be used as a stop - all term to look up to the characterwhen toy by Jamie Campbell Bower , regardless of the level in which he appears . If that ’s the pillow slip , and his appearance is really just his human sort in flashbacks , then seeing the name " Vecna " on the call sheet would potentially be misleading . However , if he appears in true Vecna anatomy in the season 5 premiere , it would be a morsel of a mollycoddler , since the state of his existence inStranger Thingsis still up in the tune .
