Melissa Barrera as Sam Carpenter and Jenna Ortega as Tara Carpenter from Scream VI
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Melissa Barrera has detailed the support she received from Jenna Ortega following her controversial firing from Scream 7. First introduced as Sam and Tara Carpenter in 2022’s Scream, it was widely expected that Barrera’s and Ortega’s characters would continue to serve as a new generation of franchise leads following the critical and commercial success of their debut outing and 2023’s Scream 6.
We talked a lot when it went down. She was checking in on me, and was super sweet. We haven't spoken in a while, but she's busy. She's crazy busy. And she's also not a great texter backer. So, every time that I text her, I know, eventually, she'll get back to me. And she's just not glued to her phone like some of us are, I am glued to my phone. Which, bless her, good for her.
While revised plans for Scream 7 are now positioned to reintroduce Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott, audiences are left wondering if the former Carpenter sisters could potentially be reunited on another project. Given the pair’s onscreen chemistry and behind-the-scenes camaraderie, the possibility of seeing them back together would be an exciting possibility for those disappointed by their dramatic exits from the slasher franchise.
Though some may be quick to suggest that Barrera could potentially join her former co-star on a future season of Netflix’s Wednesday, perhaps the most intriguing possibility lies in having the pair reteam with Radio Silence's Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin. Not only were the directing duo the ones responsible for teaming Barrera and Ortega to begin with, but they have also recently revealed that they are no longer involved in long-gestating plans for an Escape from New York reboot.
