10 Things We Learned at the "Stranger Things" NYCC Panel2 of 10
We’ll get more of a backstory for Hopper.
Hopper, having lost his daughter, is a damaged man. After learning a little about his past in Season 1, Season 2 should dive even deeper. “I feel like with the loss of a daughter like that, I just feel like he’s truly broken in a way that almost cannot be healed,” Harbour said. “In a certain way he has so much guilt because he’s so used to saving people — used to good guys and bad guys — and finally he puts himself in a situation where it’s just life. I mean, there’s just nothing he can do and I think he takes that on himself and carries it on his shoulders.”
