Stranger Things Season 5 brought back familiar faces and introduced a few new ones, and Caroline Elle Abrams’ appearance as Tina Turnbow is already getting attention.

Abrams plays Tina Turnbow in Stranger Things Season 5 and it’s her biggest on-screen role to date. She previously starred as herself in one episode of the series Me and was the voice of Kylie in R.A.D.A.R.: The Adventures of the Bionic Dog, according to her IMDb page. She has also been acting in theater and commercials since she was five.
Abrams’ casting fits the Stranger Things pattern of using emerging stars in instantly memorable roles.
Who Is Tina in ‘Stranger Things’?
Fans first heard Tina’s name back in season 3 when Erica told Steve, Dustin, and Robin that she had planned to spend the night at her best friend Tina’s before she got pulled into the Starcourt Mall chaos. It was a blink and you’ll miss it moment, but it established that Tina was part of Erica’s life long before we ever met her.
Season 5 finally brought Tina on screen in episode 3, titled “The Turnbow Trap.” By this point, Tina and Erica have had a falling out over a boy at school, which normally would have been typical Hawkins drama.

Instead, it became the key to the Turnbow storyline. When Will realized that Tina’s younger brother, Derek, is next on Vecna’s list, the group decided they needed to get Derek out before Henry reached him. Their plan required Erica to make up with Tina just long enough to deliver a pie laced with a knockout mix of pills Robin swiped from the hospital so the gang could get the Turnbows to safety.
Despite Erica’s oh-so-convincing apology at the front door, Tina refused to eat her slice because it had too many calories. Once the rest of the family passed out as planned, Erica pulled out a syringe, looked Tina in the eye, and said the line that instantly became a season highlight: “I told you to eat your pie.”

How Does Tina Fit Into Season 5’s Story?
Tina may only appear briefly, but her presence helped tie together threads from seasons 3 and 5. She’s a real part of Erica’s world, and her connection to Derek pulls her straight into the chaos that surrounds Henry. Her scene also deepened Erica’s role in the season and gave fans one of the sharpest comedic beats so far.
