'Stranger Things' Season 3: Where on earth is Barb? New season might reopen the case of the missing best friend
Things keep getting stranger with 'Stranger Things but nothing has been as mysterious as the disappearance of Barbara Holland (Shannon Purser), who went missing during the first half of Season 1. The red-head, spectacled nerd was introduced to us as Nancy Wheeler's (Natalie Dyer) best friend, and while Nancy herself was busy flirting around with her then high-school boyfriend, Steve (Joe Keery); quite sadly Barb became prey to the monster who resides in the Upside Down. Although for almost the first and second seasons, Barb simply went missing and no one found her body, the internet never forgot the best friend who was literally pushed to her own death.
As Season 3 is just around the corner, we might expect to recall the case of the missing best friend. While Season 1, almost forgot Barb as everyone chased after Will (Noah Schnapp), Season 2 brought out the character like a lurking nightmare in the already complicated plot. Season 2 saw Nancy being furious with everyone for not being concerned with Barb, and even though there was a funeral Nancy was not entirely convinced that Barb is dead. Even when she visits Barb's parents and learns about their grief, and that they are selling the house to pay an investigative journalist to look into Barb's matter, Nancy is disturbed that no one really looked into the Upside Down to find Barb.
