Unresolved Storylines

One of the most pressing unresolved storylines revolves around the emotional reunion of Sam and Tara at the end of Scream VI. The sequel depicted the sisters coping with the aftermath of Scream 2022 in divergent, yet equally tumultuous ways. Sam's paranoia and protectiveness contrasted with Tara's attempts to repress the traumatic events, driving a wedge between them. While Scream VI's conclusion saw them reunite, the lasting impact of this reunion remains a mystery.

Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding Sam's life in New York adds to the unresolved narratives. Her lack of clear plans following the events of Scream VI raises questions about her future and the potential paths that were left unexplored as a result of her absence in Scream 7.

Furthermore, the rationale behind Ghostface targeting Sam and Tara again in Scream 7 presents a conundrum. Their connection to the new killer is hard to justify, signaling a shift in the duo's role within the franchise.

Missed Opportunities and Speculations
The absence of Sam and Tara in Scream 7 has led to missed opportunities and speculative scenarios. Their potential role as replacements for Sidney Prescott, the franchise's original heroine, remains unexplored. The sequel could have transformed them into proactive hunter characters, a trend observed in recent slasher reboots. However, the departure of the actors has rendered this promising twist unattainable, leaving fans to ponder what could have been.
