However, the mysterious and questionable happenings in the town led Hopper to become the responsible chief of police that he is meant to be.

My daughter’s middle school had a Stranger Things themed party. She has never seen Stranger Things. I was informed that there was a costume party and that she wanted to participate.“Who do you want to be?” I asked. “I just don’t want to be the girl with waffles, everyone is going to be the girl who eats waffles.” said my 11 year old who has never seen the show. So I knew she did not want to be Eleven. That was the only person I even knew, so I was at a loss and I would need to do some research. The name "Gillespie" (from Hopper's quote about the owl) could be a possible reference to the famous Silent Hill franchise (a series that largely focuses on many things - among which: deformed human-like creatures, other worlds and dimensions, as well as a town seemingly in the middle of nowhere and in which strange things happen. Also, the plot in the first game revolved around a father trying to find his missing daughter - as opposed to a mother looking for her missing son). Unbeknownst to El, Hopper had actually been taken to the prison of Kamchatka in Russia, where he spent the next eight months of his life. He eventually found an ally, who sent Joyce and Murray Bauman a letter to meet with him in exchange for Hopper's freedom. Once Vecna had been temporarily defeated, Hopper and Joyce finally returned to the U. S. A. and Eleven tearfully reunited with her adoptive father, telling him that she never stopped believing that he was alive.

Hopper was Chief of Police in the small, sleepy town of Hawkins, Indiana, where he used to live out a carefree existence, though forever haunted by his troubled past. After an old friend, Joyce Byers, reported that her son, Will, had mysteriously disappeared, Hopper's life became infinitely more complicated. He began to unravel a conspiracy involving the nearby Hawkins National Laboratory, discovering the lab had conducted experiments that accidentally opened a gate to an alternate dimension. During their investigations, Hopper and Joyce met Eleven, the escaped child test subject who unwittingly opened the gate using special psychokinetic abilities. Eventually, Hopper and Joyce were permitted to travel through the gate and search for Will, finding him strung up in the alternate version of the public library; he was unconscious, but alive.

PropsAt the pumpkin patch, a strange rot had destroyed all the pumpkins. Merrill told Hopper he believed that Eugene had poisoned his field, though Hopper was skeptical of the idea. His attention was then drawn to a sound coming from the nearby cornfield. Hopper went to investigate the source of the noise, but was interrupted by a crow. Listen, you know what? I liked your alien theory a lot better. And you want my advice? Why don't you stop bleeding those people dry and go home? All right? Go home!" Hopper tried unsuccessfully to get Joyce though she was hesitant as she was still grieving over Bob's death.

On June 28, Hopper watched TV in his cabin while El and Mike hang out together in El's bedroom. When Hopper grew curious to know what El and Mike were doing, he reclined his chair and saw the them kissing. When El closed the door telekinetically, Hopper objected about a “three-inch minimum,” but when he managed to open the door, she saw El and Mike had separated and were in a position of reading some comic books. Despite this, Hopper was not convinced and presumably continued watching TV as Mike, departed, promising to see El tomorrow. At the lab, while investigating, Hopper related how he was often afraid that one of the denizens of the Upside Down would be coming after him, and that he was constantly on the lookout so that people can feel safe. In addition, Hopper revealed knew Joyce is planning to sell her house and leave Hawkins as he wanted Joyce to still consider the town to be home.
