At the end of Scream VI, half-sisters Sam (Melissa Barrera) and Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega) walk away from yet another night of murderous madness after a trio of killers in Ghostface masks attempt to kill them. During her two-film arc, audiences watched as Sam grappled with the knowledge that she was the daughter of Scream’s (1996) original killer, Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich), with the storyline picking apart a sort of genetic stance on whether this connection meant that Sam was predisposed to have a thirst for blood. As Demi Lovato’s “Still Alive” begins to play, audiences witness Sam toss her father’s mask onto the concrete below, signifying that — even if others questioned it — she knew who she was.

Late last year, it was announced that Spyglass Media would be cutting ties with Barreradue to her pro-Palestinian stance, meaning that she wouldn’t be part of the already in-the-works Scream 7. The news came as a devastating blow to fans who had gotten to know and cherish Barrera’s character during the last two films. During an interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff for an installment of Nemiroff’s Ladies Night, she asked Barrera if the actress felt like Sam’s storyline was properly wrapped up and whether she carries a sense of closure now that her run with the franchise has come to an end.

During her chat with Nemiroff, Barrera confirmed that she’s feeling good about how things came to a close (albeit prematurely) with her character.
