Stranger Things Star Speaks Out After Being Forgotten in Series 5 Finale Amid Cancer Diagnosis

- Following fan reaction, Marshall said she was disappointed not to be in Season five and clarified her post wasn't malicious, adding she holds no ill will toward those involved.
- She added that shooting the final season would have helped Jennifer Marshall, actress, obtain union health insurance and provided financial and emotional support after her cancer battle.
