No, as of Stranger Things Season 4, Robin Buckley has not died.


Stranger Things has many mind-boggling storylines and memorable characters that instantly have a connection with its viewers. The story of the series revolves around Eleven, a mentally gifted girl with the ability of telekinesis, who ran away from the laboratory where she was held captive and experimented on. As the story continues, we see Eleven meeting up with other main characters on the show, namely Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will, forming up a group named “The Party” to stop the evil being of the alternate dimension called the Upside Down. By the end of season four, we get to know that the Upside Down is run by Vecna who was also a gifted person like Eleven and was banished to the alternate dimension because of her.


Who is Robin in Stranger Things?


The role of Robin Buckley was introduced to the world of Stranger Things during the 3rd season of the show, as the girl who worked alongside her former classmate Steve Harrington at the ice-cream shop named Scoops Ahoy which was at the Starcourt Mall in the city. Initially, we see Robin not interested in talking with Steve seeing his customer-serving side. This changes when she sees his fun side when he meets Dustin after his return.


Robin, Steve, and Dustin’s chemistry as best friends was one of the most entertaining parts of the season. It was with the help of Robin that Steve and Dustin were able to decipher the intercepted Russian code, which made them realize that Russians were using the mall as a snuggle route to shift goods to Hawkins. The characteristics of Robin Buckley are that of a realistic woman being adaptive to any situation. While most of the characters need time to process the beings of the Upside Down, Robin is up and ready to help from the get-go. Throughout the series we see Robin having a close connection with all the show's main characters, the closest being with Nancy Wheeler.
