Quick Scoop

Robin Buckley is introduced in season 3 as Steve Harrington’s sarcastic but sharp co‑worker at the Starcourt Mall ice cream shop, Scoops Ahoy. She quickly becomes part of the main Hawkins gang after helping decode a secret Russian transmission and learning about the Upside Down.

Across seasons 3–5, Robin is portrayed as a queer character, and her coming‑out scene with Steve became one of the show’s standout emotional moments.
