Fans want Eddie's return, but Joseph Quinn says it is unlikely to happen.

Joseph Quinn wants to reprise his role as Eddie, but it is unlikely.

Eddie was expected to die, and producer Shawn Levy said it is "highly unlikely" he will return.

Maya Hawke warned that repeatedly reviving dead characters could be irritating.

Some fans agree with Millie Bobby Brown that not killing off enough characters undermines the show's stakes.

Bringing back Eddie would be detrimental to both the show and the character.

Joseph Quinn's performance as Eddie was widely praised, and he had a natural rapport with Gaten Matarazzo and Joe Keery.

Eddie's sacrifice and heroism will live on in fans' memories, and the show should stay true to its vision.
