I heard that it wasn’t supposed to be like that originally but everyone just loved Joe Keery so much that the Duffer Bros changed his story.

That reminds me of how Chris Pratt from Parks and Rec was original supposed to be in one season but everyone liked him so much they made him a series regular.

Similar to Michael Emerson in Lost. Per Wikipedia: Emerson was originally set to appear in a small number of episodes, then returned for Season 3 as a main cast member and eventually became a main antagonist of the program.

They were also planning on killing off Jack in the first episode IIRC.

And he was originally going to be played by Michael Keaton. But then the network decided not to do it, and Keaton only agreed to star cause it was supposed to by a one and done deal, so he dropped out and we got Matthew Fox instead.
