However, the shake-up came just four days after a video of Joe breaking down in tears during a Q&A at London Film and Comic Con went viral. The moment came amid mounting reports of Joe being mistreated by staff at the event, with multiple attendees claiming that they witnessed him get “yelled at” by organizers for spending too much time with fans. Roy Rochlin / Getty Images Joe shot to fame almost overnight after he made his debut as Eddie Munson in the fourth season of Stranger Things in May, so he was in high demand at the convention. Netflix It was reported that Joe’s slot had been oversold by “400 tickets,” and that he desperately tried to make sure that every guest had a good experience despite hostile behavior from the staff. TikTok LFCC did not respond to BuzzFeed News’ request for comment at the time, but on the second day of the convention, fan Kimberley Burrows addressed the reports when she was given the opportunity to speak to Joe during a panel. “I’m sure a lot of us have heard what happened yesterday — whether it’s true or not — about how you were treated,” she said. “I just wanted to say thank you from all of us, we’re really grateful that you’re sharing your time.” Twitter: @sissiquinn Other attendees in the crowd filmed Joe’s reaction as Kimberly spoke, and he was choking back tears as she went on: “Thank you for signing our things. For spending time with us and making our summer.” “However you were treated yesterday,” she continued, “we are so grateful — thank you.” Jacopo Raule / Getty Images As the crowd applauded, Joe appeared to be completely taken aback and wiped tears from his eyes as he began to cry. The videos of the exchange quickly gained traction online, with many viewing it as proof of Joe’s difficult experience at the convention. So when German Comic Con confirmed that he’d no longer be attending the following weekend’s event, people began to speculate that this was actually due to his treatment at LFCC. “A few days ago he had to hand in his passport to the UK authorities for a USA work visa and this one according to the current status, will only be returned ON MONDAY,” GCC wrote last Thursday. “The possibility that he will get his passport back tomorrow before he takes off on his flight is close to zero.” Netflix “There is also no way to get a temporary passport or similar. We really tried everything today and contacted all the authorities and contact points,” they added. “There are no words for the disappointment and frustration on all levels. Joseph is also extremely sad that he has to disappoint us all at such short notice.” Netflix While Joe was unable to make the event, some of his Stranger Things costars were still in attendance, including 18-year-old Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven. Arturo Holmes / WireImage The young British actor even heaped praise on Joe as she took part in a fan Q&A, even though she had no scenes with his character throughout the season. Netflix During the panel, one fan mentioned a viral TikTok sound that was created off the back of one of Eddie’s scenes. In the Netflix series, Eddie shouts for his friend Chrissy to “wake up” after he finds her in a catatonic state. Netflix His lines were edited together to create a song on the social media app, which has been a huge hit with fans. In a clip from the event, Millie was asked about the song, to which she told the crowd: “You’re putting the pressure on me — how does it go?” The audience then began to sing, which clearly took the actor by surprise. “Can I just say how weird that is, like, why is that a thing? Do you know what I mean?” she asked. However, Millie then acknowledged the brilliant way that Joe brought his character to life, saying: “I mean, he did an amazing job and it was very good. I’m sure [the song] was also his idea. He’s very, very good.” While many were touched by Millie’s sweet tribute to her absent costar at the convention, others were distracted by her accent as they questioned why the English star sounded so American. Karwai Tang / WireImage “Is she British?” one person asked. “I swear every interview now she has an American accent 😅😂." “Why does her accent keep switching?” someone else commented. Another person echoed: “Why is she speaking with an American accent? “She literally forgot she was British for a few,” another user added. One more wrote: “She sounds so American.” Millie was born to English parents in Marbella, Spain, but the family moved back to the UK when she was 4 years old. When Millie was 8, they relocated to Orlando. Four years later, she was cast in Stranger Things, where her character has an American accent, and the majority of her costars are also American. Jason Laveris / FilmMagic Some pointed this out in defense of her accent change, flagging that she has actually spent more time in the US than England so it’s unsurprising that the way she speaks is inconsistent. “She’s been in america for some time now???? obviously her british accent is going to fade,” one person wrote. Another agreed: “When u in the US for a while u loss ur accent..especially if u play an american character from child to adult.” Millie is far from the only British star to have this happen, with Harry Styles admitting earlier this year that his northern England accent had picked up an American twang after he spent a lot of time in the US. Cindy Ord / Getty Images for SiriusXM Discussing his accent during an interview with Capital FM, Harry said: “I think it’s a little bit all over the place because I’m from up North and lived in London for 10 years, and spent a lot of time in America and stuff.” Kevin Mazur / Getty Images for Coachella “So I think when I’m with Americans they don’t think I sound American at all, and I think sometimes when I’m with English people they expect me to sound American,” he went on. “I don’t think I do, but maybe I pick up a couple of bits along the way. I try and translate for whoever I’m with.” Jmenternational / JMEnternational for BRIT Awards / Getty Images And it’s fair to assume that Millie can definitely relate. incomingYour weekday morning guide to breaking news, cultural analysis, and everything in between Millie Bobby Brown speaks onstage at Netflix's "Stranger Things" Season 4 New York Premiere at Netflix Brooklyn on May 14, 2022 in Brooklyn, New York. Millie Bobby Brown had a playful reaction to German Stranger Things fans, after learning that many of them hate Finn Wolfhard’s character, Mike Wheeler. Per The Independent, during an appearance at a fan Q&A panel held as part of German Comic Con, Brown, who plays Eleven — Mike’s love interest and protagonist in the show — was shocked to discover a surprising dislike of Wolfhard’s character. One fan quizzed her about the up-and-down relationship between Eleven and Mike in season four, to which she replied, “I mean, do you like him?” When the audience member responded that they did not, she said, “What?! You don’t like Mike? In Germany, you guys don’t like Mike?” The crowd then seemed to largely share the same reply: “No.” “In America, people love Mike,” the British actress said. “Can somebody tell me why they don’t like Mike? What’s wrong with him? He’s not a good boyfriend? Is that it?” One audience member claimed that the character had been a bad friend. “Oh, he’s not a good friend?” Brown asked, then said, “Oh that’s why. Okay. There’s not much I can say about that, although Finn, he’s a great friend. He’s like the bestest friend.” Season 4 of Stranger Things is currently streaming on Netflix. The fifth and final season will start development this August, Variety reported, with show creators the Duffer brothers having Season 5 pretty much mapped out.

Millie Bobby Brown attends Netflix's "Stranger Things" season 4 premiere at Netflix Brooklyn on May 14, 2022 in Brooklyn, New York. The Stranger Things creators have responded to Millie Bobby Brown’s criticism of the show not killing off enough main characters. Brown , who plays Eleven, told TheWrap in a joint interview with co-star Noah Schnapp, “We’re all afraid of one of us dying. It’s way too big. Last night, we couldn’t even take one group picture because there were like 50 of us. I was like, ‘You need to start killing people off.’” Schnapp, who plays Will Byers, added, “You just have to have one massacre scene where half the cast dies.” Millie, 18, continued to call the writers out. “The Duffer brothers are two Sensitive Sallies that don’t want to kill anyone off,” the British actress said. “We need to be Game of Thrones. We need to have the mindset of Game of Thrones.” She then demanded that the creators “kill me off,” adding, “They tried killing David [Harbour] (who plays Hopper) off and they brought him back. It’s ridiculous.” When the comments were mentioned in a new interview with the Duffer brothers, Matt Duffer defeatedly replied, “We heard,” adding, “What did Millie call us? She said we were ‘Sensitive Sallies.’ She’s hilarious. Believe us, we’ve explored all options in the writing room. Just as a complete hypothetical, if you kill Mike [Finn Wolfhard], it’s like… that’s depressing… we aren’t Game of Thrones. This is Hawkins, it’s not Westeros.” Duffer used the character of Barb (Shannon Purser) as an example, saying, “So even when Barb dies, there’s two seasons worth of grappling with that, so imagine – is that something we’re interested in exploring or not interested in exploring?” He acknowledged that more deaths are “on the table” as “we’re headed towards the end,” adding, “This is me basically defending myself against these Millie Bobby Brown accusations and explaining that there are lives behind it, and it’s nothing to do with my sensitivity. So there you go Millie.” Stranger Things season 4 is currently streaming on Netflix. The final season is expected to be released in 2024. 'Stranger Things' Season 4 Part 1: Fans React Charley Gallay/Getty Since its premiere on Netflix in 2016, the cast of "Stranger Things" has both grown and contracted in a variety of ways. Although each season sees the addition of beloved characters like Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) and Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn), nearly every season also features a plethora of tragic character deaths. After all, to name only a few fallen characters, who could forget the Season 1 death of Barb Holland (Shannon Purser), the Season 2 death of Bob Newby (Sean Astin), or the Season 3 death of Billy Hargrove (Dacre Montgomery)? At the time of each character's death, they seemed like uber-important parts of the show. However, it should be noted that no one from the core cast of Netflix's prized jewel has actually ever bitten the dust. And people — especially the cast — are starting to grow tired of it. "They tried killing David [Harbour] off, they brought him back," Millie Bobby Brown jokingly griped to TheWrap in a May 2022 interview. "They need to kill off some people," added actor and friend Noah Schnapp, who joined Brown in the video interview. For Brown, things finally came to a head for her earlier this year when she noticed how big the cast had grown after something hilarious happened. The Stranger Things cast can't take a cast photo anymore Charley Gallay/Getty Images If viewers thought the "Stranger Things" cast was big enough in Season 3, just wait until people see pictures of the "Stranger Things" Season 4 and Season 5 lineups when they all get together. According to Millie Bobby Brown, the updated cast is way too big now — and can't even take a group photo together anymore. For this reason, the young actress jokingly insists that somebody's gotta go. "Last night we couldn't even take one group picture," Brown told TheWrap. "There was like fifty of us. I was like, 'You need to start killing people off ... This is ridiculous.'" If Brown could have her way, the Duffer brothers would finally shed their sensitive, character-loving skins and start going "Game of Thrones" on some folks. Teasing the two showrunners, Brown said: "The Duffer brothers are two sensitive Sallys that don't want to kill anyone off. We need to be Game of Thrones. We need to have the mindset of Game of Thrones." Noah Schnapp quickly agreed, and also didn't mince words when describing what he thinks should happen in the upcoming Season 5. "They just need to have one massacre scene," Schnapp said, laughing with Brown. Unfortunately, viewers will likely be waiting for quite some time before they find out if the Duffer Brothers took the young stars' advice. According to a GQ interview with David Harbour, "Stranger Things" Season 5 likely won't drop on the streamer until mid-2024. Image Source: NetflixWith season four of "Stranger Things" finally back in our Netflix queues, one question is on everyone's minds: did Millie Bobby Brown cut her hair again for the show? And the answer to your burning question: no, she did not. "Stranger Things"'s hair department head, Sarah Hindsgaul, recently revealed some tricks she used to bring back Brown's signature buzz cut for season four without actually cutting the actor's hair."[Her hairstyle] was in a buzz-cut wig, which was very, very, very difficult to do," Hindsgaul tells POPSUGAR. "Normally, you would do that with a bald cap and then putting a wig over it, but we're very limited on time."To make the super-short hairstyle work, Hindsgaul employed some unusual methods. "Without having time to do a bald cap, we had to figure something else out. So, alongside my wig maker, we ended up using different layers of silks inside," she says. "It kind of fades out, because otherwise, the wig is so short that you could see the stitching where the wig is sewn together."Hindsgaul and her team did a fantastic job, considering we were all fooled. And bravo to Brown, the hair chameleon, for pulling it off so Additional reporting by Jessica HarringtonRelated: Hidden Hair Meanings to Look Out For on "Stranger Things"
