Cara Buono recently experienced the loss of her mother last week, and she paid tribute to her on Instagram just a couple of days ago.

Although her character Karen Wheeler may not have a significant amount of screen time in the upcoming season, she remains an integral part of the show. Various theories have circulated about Karen’s potential connection to Henry Creel, also known as Vecna. Some speculate that she could be Alice Creel, the sister of Henry Creel, leading to intriguing plot possibilities.

However, after watching Stranger Things: The First Shadow, it is clear that both are different characters. Still, considering the unpredictable nature of the show, there remains a possibility of a twist or revelation related to her character in the final season.
