Stranger Things has returned for a long-awaited fourth season and most fans have devoured all seven episodes by now.
With the fourth series as good as it's ever been, viewers have also been introduced to Eddie Munson, who pretty much steals every scene he is in. Played by Joseph Quinn, Eddie is the boss of Hawkins High's D&D club, The Hellfire Club.
He makes sure Mike and the gang don't have too terrible a time in high school, and he doesn't care what anybody thinks of him - until he is wrongly accused of a spate of murders that happen in Hawkins.

Stranger Things creators and producers The Duffer brothers said, on casting Eddie, there was "literally no other option" but Joseph Quinn. He was the "only one" who could pull off the iconic cafeteria scene, according to an interview with US journalist Tara Britan.
While Joseph gives a stellar performance as an American nerd, some fans may not know he is actually British. The 29-year-old has a Southern accent, but his mum is a Scouser.

Speaking at the Stranger Things Season 4 premiere in New York last month, Joseph explained what it was like to join the cast and who he told when he found out he got the part. He said his Liverpudlian mum didn't know what Stranger Things was, before impersonating her to a tee.
Fans who have seen the interview are loving the revelation. Taking to Twitter, Victoria Isherwood said: "Absolutely loving seeing Joseph Quinn going global, extraordinary actor and lovely with it (and part Scouse!)"
Vic said: "Joseph Quinn have Scouse roots, we love to see it". Auroramargauxx said: "Joseph Quinn is scouse blood *nods* the Liverpool agenda continues", while Jack said: "EDDIE MUNSON IS SCOUSE".
Stranger Things is available to stream now on Netflix. Part two of Season Four will air from July 1.
