Stranger Things: This story error remains untouched according to the creators!
Has anyone ever forgotten your birthday? Then you have that in common with a character from Stranger Things. Because the makers of the Netflix hit made an embarrassing story mistake in season 4, which they don’t want to remove later.
Continuity in series like Stranger Things, movies, books and stories of all kinds is an important element: it ensures that the world follows previously established trajectories and that events build on presented rules. For example, if a car is red in one scene, it must also be red in the next scene – otherwise there is a continuity error. But such gaffes can be much more subtle, as the Netflix hit Stranger Things shows: The writers had completely forgotten that an episode of Season 4 takes place on a main character’s birthday.

Error in Stranger Things: No cake for Will Byers!
In Episode 2 of Season 4 of Stranger Things we see the events briefly from the perspective of a video camera that shows: the day is March 22, 1986. It’s just stupid that Joyce Byers had established in season 2 that her son Will – a of the most important main characters of the series – exactly then has his birthday. However, nothing of the sort happens in the episode, neither Will’s mother nor his friends celebrate him. Which, if you know these characters, seems really unthinkable.
But it didn’t happen out of spite. The Duffer Brothers, creators of Stranger Things, sincerely forgot! They have that in one exclusive interview with Variety revealed, which also gives further insights. In this they admit that they don’t have a specific person for Continuity, as authors George RR Martin and Stephen King do. They even joke that they could “George Lucas” the whole thing with May instead of March. But I guess they’re just sorry. In another tweet, they also clarified that they will never edit broadcast episodes of Stranger Things.
