Shannon Purser
aka Barbara Holland - Ethel Muggs - Sierra - ...
Stranger Things - Riverdale - Sierra Burgess is a Loser - ...
Our next guest is one for the hardcore Stranger Things fans, and we are incredibly proud to welcome her to a Comic Con in Europe for the very first time.
She was introduced as a main character and Nancy Wheeler’s best friend in Season 1 of Stranger Things. From the moment Nancy disappeared, the whole world knew this was not just a happy tribute to the 80s. Real horror and psychological terror were lurking just around every corner.
Of course, we are talking about the iconic Barb, also known as Barbara, played by Shannon Purser.
Shannon will be joining us on Saturday at Tour and Taxis, ready to give everyone some great advice about Steve, and of course to take part in photo shoots and sign autographs.
We also know and love Shannon Purser as Ethel Muggs in Riverdale and from the cult classic Sierra Burgess Is a Loser.
Everyone scream it together. Justice for Barb!
Come celebrate Stranger Things with us at Comic Con Brussels 2026.
