Neve Campbell has shared how sad she was to see her long-standing co-star killed off in the franchise's fifth movie. Campbell, who played the central character Sidney Prescott before deciding not to return to the sixth Scream movie, says she was ultimately disappointed at the choice to axe Dewey.
At the Monster-Mania 2023 Convention, the franchise’s original final girl Neve Campbell opened up about the death of long-running character Dewey. "I was so sad about Dewey’s death. I thought it was tragic and I don’t usually like to criticize the writing in these projects," Campbell explained. "[But] I was really disappointed in their choice to get rid of David. He’s so... I mean Dewey’s such a wonderful character and I think we were all in love with him and I think we all felt pretty sad about that. Which of course is the reason they do it cause it has more impact, but now I miss him. I want to see more of him."
