The common thought among all the fans seems to be that even if a character has
been written well, it is, at the end of the day, the actor’s job to play the
character in a way that resonates with people. And if that is what the benchmark
of being a good actor is, then Joseph Quinn
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/joseph-quinn/] is undoubtedly an amazing one.

Do you guys agree with the fans? Was it Joseph’s talent that made Eddie such a
lovable and great character? Or was Eddie the Duffer Brothers
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/duffer-brothers/]‘ best character ever? Feel free
