Drew Barrymorewho played Casey Becker in the original Scream (1996), thinks his character could return to the franchise.
Following the return of Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettierre) from Scream 4 in the franchise’s latest installment, Scream 6, Ross Matthewsa friend of Barrymore, asked him on his talk show (thanks, GamesRadar) if Casey could have a similar revival.
Matthews said: “I asked you if maybe your character, maybe, survived, you know, doctors can do amazing things! And you said maybe there was a chance that he survives.” So does it make you want to bring her back for Scream VII?”
Barrymore replied: “It’s funny. I never thought of it that way, but I’m pretty sure a caesarean is comparable to what happened to him.
“Like, literally. And here I am! I’m fine! So maybe Casey Becker will be fine.
“With good writing, anything can happen. I’m so glad this franchise is still going strong.”
In any case, if Barrymore takes over the role of Casey Becker, the writers will have to work hard to find a way to make it half believable.
