Stranger Things may have hinted at a HUGE revelation about Chief Hopper's (David Harbour) daughter.

We saw flashbacks of Sara in the season one finale, with one showing Hopper crying on a staircase after her death – and it's possible that the same staircase may have been seen in season two's finale when Hopper discovers a still-alive Dr Owens.

Harbour has told Insider that it is "the same location" or "similar", so this could mean that Sara died in Hawkins Lab.

Perhaps it was just the nearest medical facility or the one best equipped to handle her condition which we assume was cancer, but it has never been explicitly confirmed in the show.

However, an extra detail from season one has been confirmed by Harbour which could add weight to the theory that Sara has actually come into contact with the Upside Down, and maybe even be one of the children experimented on…

"There's a stuffed animal lion that appears in Eleven's room when he breaks into the lab and finds that room, and it also appears in Castle Byers [Will's hideout], and it also appears on Sara's lap," Harbour explained.

"So yes – there is a connection there perhaps that we may go into further down the line. Again these are little things that highlight mysteries that I don't want to give too much away from, but I don't think anything is done randomly in this show."

Maybe it's something that'll come up in season three

Stranger Things season two is now available to watch on Netflix.
