Season 2 had established 22nd May as Will\u2019s birthday, yet season 4 also saw a 22nd May play out onscreen, without any of the characters mentioning the occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Duffer explained: \u201cThe honest response is, clearly like the characters in the show, we also forgot about Will\u2019s birthday. So the debate now is whether we adjust Will\u2019s birthday or we just let it be really sad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then said: \u201cWe\u2019re thinking his new birthday is going to be May 22nd, because \u201cMay\u201d can fit in Winona\u2019s mouth [in the Season 2 scene where Joyce says the date of Will\u2019s birthday]. So that would be us George Lucas-ing the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, a message posted on the official writers\u2019 Twitter page on 26th July said that \u201cno scenes from previous seasons have ever been cut or re-edited.
