Melissa Barrera Reunites: In a recent Instagram post, Melissa Barrera, 33, and Jenna Ortega, 21, celebrated a reunion with their Scream co-stars at the Motion Picture & Television Fund’s The Evening Before gala. The photos featured Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Liana Liberato, Tony Revolori, Skeet Ulrich, and Jack Quaid.
Barrera’s caption, “Yeah ,” garnered positive responses from co-stars. Ulrich commented, “Sweet reunion!!” and Quaid added a “HELL yeah.” Gooding expressed his love, and Liberato joined in with an enthusiastic “oooooh yeah.”
However, it was disclosed in November that Barrera and Ortega won’t be part of Scream VII. They portrayed sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter, linked to the original Scream villain Billy Loomis (Ulrich).
Barrera’s departure was linked to social media posts regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict. Spyglass, the studio, stated a “zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate.” Barrera affirmed using her platform for awareness but condemned hate.
Ortega’s exit, unrelated to Barrera’s, was confirmed later. In December, director Christopher Landon, initially attached to Scream’ film VI, announced his withdrawal, referring to it as a “dream job that turned into a nightmare.”
Neve Campbell, an original star, mentioned potential uncertainty in the project. She previously declined to return due to contract disputes, asserting her treatment would have been different if she were male, emphasizing deserving fair treatment for her longstanding role in the franchise.
