Could Charlie Heaton's role on Stranger Things be in jeopardy?

Charlie Heaton who plays the character Jonathan Byers on Stranger Things was denied entry into the United States when trace amounts of cocaine were found on his belongings. He wasn't arrested but there are concerns the British actor may lose his work visa. If he's unable to enter the US, he'll be unable to film the next season of the show. Even if he doesn't lose his work visa, his role in the show could still be in jeopardy. What if the show's creators are concerned that even if Heaton didn't lose his visa this time, it may happen in the future? If he lost his visa in the middle of filming season 3, it could lead to costly delays and reshoots. 

It will be interesting to see what happens with this. If he loses his visa his character could be away at college. If he doesn't lose it, the creators will have to decide whether to keep him for the full season or kill him off early in the season if they're concerned about him being denied reentry again.
