Stranger Things Finale Leaves Vickie's Future Unclear as Duffers Embrace Ambiguity

Showrunners tell EW they chose ambiguity, hinting the romance may not have lasted.

Overview

  • Vickie is absent from the series epilogue, leaving her status with Robin unspecified on screen.
  • Matt and Ross Duffer say they discussed the character’s outcome but left it for audiences to interpret.
  • Matt Duffer indicates it is unlikely a high school relationship would endure into college, though he stops short of a definitive answer.
  • The only in‑show nod to the couple’s status is Robin’s brief reference to “overbearing significant others,” which offers no clear resolution.
  • Viewers continue to question the omission on social platforms, citing concerns about sidelined LGBTQ+ representation now that the series has ended.
