Natalia Dyer, known for her role as Nancy Wheeler in stranger thingsaddresses a big mistake he made in the season finale.
At the end of the fourth season, giant cracks from the Upside Down opened in the ground throughout the city of Hawkins, however, Nancy and her brother Mike (Finn Wolfhard) do not inform the rest of their family about it.
In the new season, fans witness the consequences of her parents being forgotten, when a Demogorgon attacks them, leaving her parents, mom Karen (Cara Buono) and dad Ted (Joe Chrest), in critical condition in the hospital and her little sister Holly (Nell Fisher) being kidnapped by Vecna.
In an interview with VarietyDyer revealed the reason Nancy kept her parents in the dark.
“This was actually a conversation with the Duffers,” Dyer said. “In finding out what has happened since then, what have we told people? What have we explained to them?”
He added: “There’s this military presence everywhere, and I think there’s a sense of, especially within Nancy, that there’s a desire to protect. I think in this scenario, especially like with her family, sometimes you feel like not saying it is protecting.”
Dyer explained that since the incident Nancy feels “a lot of guilt” and sees the loss as “a failure” despite trying to do the right thing.
However, he also revealed the positive impact it has on the Wheelers, saying, “I think it’s also a bonding moment for the Wheelers. I think it’s a galvanizing moment for what they have to do ahead.”
In addition to Wolfhard, Buono, Crest and Fisher, Dyer also stars alongside her boyfriend Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers), who is also her love interest on the series, and Joe Keery as Steve Harrington, Nancy’s ex-boyfriend.
