Zack Sharf Digital News Director The last time “Stranger Things” fans saw Maya Hawke’s Robin, she was making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for displaced Hawkins, Ind. townspeople alongside Vickie (Amybeth McNulty). Robin spent a lot of “Stranger Things 4” crushing on Vickie, a clarinetist who plays with her in the Hawkins High marching band. A lot of fans felt that PB&J scene opened the door for Robin and Vickie to become girlfriends in the upcoming fifth and final season of “Stranger Things.” Not so fast. During a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment while on the press tour for Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City,” Hawke said she has mixed feelings about Robin having a girlfriend in “Stranger Things 5.” Production on the show’s final season was supposed to kick off this summer but has been indefinitely put on hold amid the ongoing writers strike. Hawke said she has no idea what series creators Matt and Ross Duffer have planned for Robin in the final episodes.
