Barbara Holland Stranger Things

Barbara Holland was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Holland. She attended Hawkins High School and at some point became the best friend of Nancy Wheeler.

In 1983, Nancy began dating Steve Harrington, a popular boy at school, making out with him “a couple of times”. Nancy and Barb went clothes-shopping one weekend, with Nancy seeking to impress Steve.

Barbara Personality

Barb was a kind, cautious, sensible and smart girl. When Nancy went to Steve‘s house, Barb wasn’t at all happy about it, due to her dislike for Steve, Tommy H, and Carol. Nevertheless, she agreed to chaperone her best friend even though she vehemently didn’t want to attend the party.

She was ultimately made fun of by Tommy H and Carol and brushed off by Nancy who was more interested in spending time with Steve. This caused her to reflect miserably by the pool instead of going straight home, which ultimately led to her death.
