Derek was quick to track after Ghostface during their first abbreviated encounter in 1997’sScream 2 , and if he had n’t had distrust placed on him betimes or been tie up during the final revealing struggle with Ghostface , it ’s likely Derek ’s increased involvement would have changed effect and prevented his death .

Hayden Panettiere play Kirby Reed , a democratic mellow schooling daughter and dedicated horror fan who   became   more of a heir to Randy Meeks ' than her Ghostface ( Charlie Walker ) claimed to be . While Kirby appeared to have died in the film , there is a theory she survived to fight Ghostface again .

Det. Mark Kincaid

Kincaid survived his coppice with Ghostface and seemed tojoin with the crew ofScreamsurvivors , though he was   absent when they returned inScre4 m.

Cotton Weary

Cotton Weary ( play by Liev Schreiber ) seem inevery film of the originalScreamtrilogy , though when he first appeared inScreamit was as the   alleged murderer of Sidney ’s mother , Maureen Prescott , though the celluloid draw doubt on his involvement .

Gale Weathers ( playact by Courteney Cox)first look in 1996’sScreamas a newsperson who had investigate the murder of Sidney ’s female parent , which put her in the correct lieu and the right clip to cover the Westboro Murders and rise to celebrity .

She would become Gale Weathers - Riley ( and Courteney Cox - Arquette ) over the path of the films as she became tortuous in every Ghostface attack , though it looks like the characters have split for the upcomingScream 5.Gale never mislay her perseverance as a reporter with ab initio scrutable tactics , but she grow over the series   to fight for the fib , her survival , and her supporter .
