Duffer Brothers Leave Vickie’s Fate Unresolved After Stranger Things Finale

The creators say they considered her outcome, choosing to let viewers decide.

Overview

  • In a new interview, Matt and Ross Duffer said they discussed where the character might end up but intentionally kept her future open to interpretation.
  • Matt Duffer noted that, in his view, few high‑school relationships last into college, framing it as perspective rather than a canon verdict.
  • Fans questioned the lack of clarity on social media, with some criticism focused on the handling of one of the show’s visible queer relationships.
  • Reports highlight that the character took on a larger presence earlier in the final season even as the closing chapter offered no explicit resolution for her.
  • A brief line about “overbearing significant others” has been interpreted by some as a breakup hint, though the show provides no confirmation.
