It’s Ted Wheeler’s time to shine. For all five seasons of the Netflix hit “Stranger Things,” Ted Wheeler has been an oblivious dad to Mike (Finn Wolfhard) and Nancy (Natalia Dyer). “Ted gets a bad rap. It seems like probably more than 50% of the [fans] consider him to be a bad dad. I don’t,” Joe Chrest exclusively told The Post.
Spoilers ahead for “ Stranger Things ” Season 5, Volume 1. “When I read the first script I was like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe this is going on!’ And then it just kept going and going and going. It was like a feeling of an upside down roller coaster, just reading the script,”Jenny McCarthy reveals scary health struggles that caused growth in eyes, teeth to fall out “ Stranger Things ,” which is currently airing its fifth and final season, first premiered in 2016.
The plot follows various friends and family members in Hawkins, Indiana, as they deal with supernatural monsters in the ‘80s. An ordinary suburban couple, the Wheeler parents have been oblivious to the sci-fi happenings in their town — until now. When reading the Season 5 script, Chrest had to put the it down to quickly “call Cara , and then debrief,” he recalled.In Season 5, a Demogorgon, which is a monster from the Upside Down, comes to the Wheeler household, attacks Ted and Karen, and abducts their youngest child, Holly. At the beginning of the thrilling action sequence, Ted is ignoring his family as usual, hitting golf balls in the yard, oblivious to the danger. Karen is drinking wine and taking a bath. Poor Holly is fighting for her life as the monster invades her room, while her parents are absorbed in their own activities and unaware of what’s happening. However, when the monster rampages through their house and comes into the kitchen, Ted and Karen can’t ignore it. Finally, they’re exposed to the sci-fi monsters that Mike and Nancy have been dealing with for five seasons.Despite their efforts fighting back, Holly ultimately gets abducted and taken to the Upside Down. Ted and Karen are badly wounded but still alive. They both end up in the hospital, while Mike and Nancy are frantic. “Cara is one of those people I’ve gotten very close to, over the years,” Chrest said. “Man, I love working with her.” The onscreen couple both have a theater background. And now that they’re finished with their decade-long stint on “Stranger Things,” he hopes they can share the stage together in the future. “Stranger Things” Season 5 will have 8 episodes, dropping on Netflix in three volumes, releasing on Nov. 26, Dec. 25, and Dec. 31.
