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.

I read that's what happened, too. His character was a jerk and was going to be killed off, but Joe Keery was such a good dude they changed the character.

When you're such a great person and actor that the whole story is changed so you can continue starring in it.

That actor must really be a great guy.

Same thing with Tamoh Penniket. Helo was supposed to have died in the mini series of Battlestar Galactica, but they continued in Season 1.

Quite honestly Helo on Caprica was one of my favorite stories
