The 'Stranger Things' Connection Between Murdered Characters You Might've Missed

Those in the Stranger Things fandom have never been ones to shy away from a good theory. A recent idea posted on Reddit has fans wondering why they hadn't realized a seemingly major connection before, and are speculating if it means something larger for the future of the Netflix series.

As reported by Seventeen, Redditor docdrazen is focusing on all of the characters who have been murdered so far, realizing that the letter "B" has shown up more than just a few times. Between Benny and Barb's deaths in Season 1, and Bob's in Season 2, the fan realized the trend even before Season 3 was released, and actually previously predicted Billy would be next. "My dumb theory last year proved correct," the Reddit user writes this week, along with a screenshot of their old post which speculated Hawkins' bad boy would be next.

And on top of that, Billy wasn't the only character with "B" name who was killed in Season 3. Bruce, the journalist at The Hawkins Post who worked with Nancy and Jonathan, also met his demise.

Of course, many other characters were also killed, such as Season 3's fan-favorite, Alexei. But nevertheless, it's still an interesting thought to speculate for future deaths to come. While there aren't any major characters with "B" names left, we're curious to see if the trend will somehow continue in Season 4. That is, is Stranger Things does return.
