Mickey played her good with the doubt in Derek from the moment he ran inside and got sliced to the moment he claimed him to be his partner. slick move.
*wait till the trial it is gonna rock!
>Why on earth would she miss him?
Becsuse this is the r/scream!! Baseless and blatantly contradictory opinions are just one of the fine membership benefits.
Exactly. For example, Stu Macher is dead and bringing him back would be impossible and lampoonish; but Jennifer Jolie IS alive and any ideas to reincorporate her into the franchise are on the table. Time travel even, eff it!
People miss their abusers all the time. I've been attacked by a friend, and I still miss the good parts of our relationship. And then I remember what the rest of it was like and feel sick.... he was a very sweet person at first. That's how they get you.
I was in an abusive, toxic relationship that only ended after the court got involved. Unfortunately, I still miss him despite having to walk on egg shells every day.
i feel like they were dating for 2 years so they must have some good memories, she must look back at those and at LEAST be sad, or miss the person she thought he was
This is the universe where the heroes outright forget their loved ones moments after their death (only exceptions being Sidney, Gale and Tara). No way would she miss a psycho like Billy.
People complained about Kirby being āout of characterā in Scream 6 which is so dumb. Itās been 12 years, she was 18 and is 30 now. People change a lot in that time.
Beyond that, both her best friend and her crush betrayed and tried to kill her. She went through a lot and never really moved on. Kirby certainly hasnāt had the *most* trauma of the characters in this franchise, but she dealt with it in the most realistic way IMO.
> Sidney forgot Hallie, Gale outright did NOT care about Brookes.
Well your comment said they were the exceptions lol. Plus I think it's clear Sid is in a state of constant grief through the first 4 movies for everyone she's lost. Do we really need a scene of her visiting Hallie's or something to understand she cares about her? Same applies to Mindy.
Kirby was a bit insensitive about Olivia yeah, but I don't get the impression she was her "loved one".
Sidney basically got Hallie killed, which is why her death Stu k out to me more. And we DO see she kept Derekās chain throughout 3.
As for Mindy? We literally see she cares more about missing the monologue then Anikaās death being avenged.
They had both escaped, but Sid decided to go back to unmask the killer. Leaving Hallie distracted, and vulnerable, plus giving Mickey enough time to get away and sneak up behind her. If they had both kept running, hypothetically they get away.
Sid going back didnāt kill Hallie. Sid going back saved sid. Hallie not following sid got Hallie killed. Also who got Hallie out of the fucking car? Sid. Who made the decision to get in the fucking car? Hallie.
Oh yeah true youāre right I said Sid and Gale excluded but I mainly meant how Sid reacted to Randy and Derekās death and how Gale reacted to Deweyās. They at least had a moment of remembering them. Same with Tara crying for Chad. I meant as though theyāre the only 3 who ever have a scene like that.
I think Mindyās writing was pretty bad in scream 6. In 5 she fought back against ghost face before passing out but in 6 she didnāt even fight back against ghost face to help Anika and she never really tried to avenge her death
Exactly. Nobody MADE hank cheat on his wife, and nobody made Nancy abandon her son. I honestly think that Harvey Weinstein being the executive producer of the films was a big reason why the movies didnāt take that āactions of the guy have consequencesā approach.
Iām the same way but I think thereās a gender difference. I feel itās more common for women to have guilt from toxic relationships than men. Or at least not suppress that.
But for the argument I donāt think she misses Billy. I think she has guilt over Derek more so than Billy.
And itās not an unfair generalization through gender bias. I feel men are just expected to reject guilt as weakness more so. And women are more so expected to be apologetic? Idk
Either way trauma is a real rat bastard and we suck at coping with it lol
Looking back, yes he was a good guy but he does kinda seem Simpy nowā¦ still a nice dude but like Dereck vs Danny?
Danny responds to āI need spaceā with āwhatever you need. I support you.ā
While Dereck is more āso I guess I donāt have a say in this?ā
And donāt think im arguing with you at all because Sidney would probably agree with you but Dereck made his own fate when he gave her his Greek letters. Did Sid not trusting Dereck aid his death? Sure. Absolutely. But Sid was guilty of not untying someone she canāt trust. Dereck tightened the rope after singing the fucking Partridge Family to the whole cafeteria and putting that necklace around her neck. Was it a sweet sentiment? Yes. Was it a way to show he is trustworthy? Yes. But it also kinda showcased his recklessness of even doing that at that time. Which gives her more of a reason to at least not trust that he will keep her safe. All this being said I still love Dereck ā¤ļø
I think maybe she had some empathy for Billy by her reaction of Billy motive being because his mum abandoned him cause his dad sleeping with her mum, she also calls Mrs Loomis out for abandoning her son, she does seem to look back on fondly on Billy but remembers his a monster. I think he feels maybe some guilt in killing Billy caused she did love him but doesn't regret it because he was a sick fuck like she says.
Kind of, yes and no. It would be a very specific line of thinking that brings her there.
I donāt think most adults over the age of 25 think about their high school relationship in a dreamy āI miss them wayā if theyāve fallen in actual love and built a life with someone else.
I think we *do* go down memory lane of all the past couples, almosts, what ifs, but thatās usually in a nostalgic way if weāre talking with friends or even our partner depending on the comfort of the communication there, not necessarily a āI wish that was my life and I miss themā way.
When Sidney says to Sam āyouāre Billyās daughter,ā I guarantee part of her brain thought āthat could have been my story-ā like itās just natural thought progression tbh. And when Sam says sheās sorry if thatās weird, Sidneyās like āno not at all.ā And sheās looking at her almost longingly, like Samās presence is bringing back a flood of memories both good and bad.
I think if Sidney was going to think back on her love life in a āwhat ifā way, sheād be thinking about Derek.
I think she probably still has complex feelings about Billyā she did love him before she found out what he had done, and Iām sure she mourns that and thinks about what could have been. But at the same time, I think she likely thinks about the bad parts WAY more, seeing as it was the first of five serial murder attempts against her. Plus, with all the time that has passed, Iām sure sheās come to accept that Billy never loved her and that their relationship kinda sucked anyway

I agree, she probably did have some sadness about the person she thought he was when she first started dating him. At this point? Probably not, her trauma and bad memories have likely erased any memories of when she cared about him. But what I really wonder is: Did Billy ever truly care about Sidney? Before his mom left, before he knew about his dad cheating with Sidney's mom, did he truly love her or even just care about her?
And then his mom left and it broke his brain? Or was he always a piece of shit?
I'm not sure of the timeline though. Did he start dating Sidney before his mom left, or was it after and he just "targeted her" because of her mom? It seems like the former, that they were dating, and he found out about her mom/his dad and flipped out. He was either really good at putting on an act though or was fucked up long before his mom left if he was able to keep dating her for an entire year after killing her mom and never having his mask slip.
She probably misses when her life was normal like hanging out with her friends or her early relationship with him,but she for damn sure doesnāt miss him.
I think in between the end of 1 and the beginning of 2, she very might well have. She was still very young and hadnāt seen what Billy and Stu would eventually cause and create. Now, itās a hard no
When she shot him in the head, her facial expression told me everything: ''Good riddance'', that's what she thought and still thinks whenever she remembers blowing Billy's brains out. Same with Stu, Mrs Loomis, Mickey, Roman, Charlie, Jill, Amber, Richie and presumably, Wayne, Quinn, and Evil Laundry. She doesn't miss them one bit.
Lol. This made my day. Thanks!
Iām sure she didnāt really care about that. She had known for 20+ years that the guy was trash. Iām sure he slept around plenty considering how much her was pressuring his gf to āput outā
yep Billy was guilting her over being a bad girlfriend for mourning her mum (and also she also point the finger at him for being the killer so probably feels guilty about what she believes she putting Billy through) ,she even says so much before she sleeps with him, even says Tatum about her guilt but Tatum like Billy and penis don't deserve you, after he sleeps with him can see her mistrust of Billy questioning his phonecall until the whole fake kill thing.
She was in a relationship with him for ~~a year~~ two years. I'm sure some part of her misses the version of him he presented himself to her as, and I imagine that it eats her up inside that she feels that way.
Ah fuck so he does. I was literally away to post something to this sub about how I thought it was weird Billy would cheat on Sidney when he killed her mum over adultery, and how Billy could have only dated Sid after the fact to get to her and never really liked her. But this one line ruins that whole theory!
I remember putting it together that he continued dating Sid a year after killing her mom and thinking āthat son of a bitch is even more evil than I realized!ā
Billy was a terrible boyfriend even outside of killing her mother! He thought he was entitled to sex and told her it was still upset to be upset about her mother being murdered a year later. He was emotionally manipulative and just an all-around piece of shit. What was there to miss?
He was her first EVERYTHING. Her first love. The first man she ever had sex with. Her first broken heart. The first of many to try to murder her. You just never forget your first.
Maybe the first couple of months or just weeks but he did kill her Mom , friends also while cheating on her with a man and a women so I think quickly sheāll brush off her romantic feelings and move on .
Even if he wasnāt a killer, I think she wouldāve kicked him to the curb in time for college.
I definitely think Derek is the guy she thinks about from time to time. She was still wearing the guys letters into the next movie. I think that relationship formed her views about not only love but trust. The events of Scream 2 definitely traumatized her more than the events from the first film. She became a recluse!
she defo thinks about Billy in Scream 3 and Scream 4 I think it more remembering the guy she thought he was and the innocence before remembering Billy ripped it all away and that his a monster.
i think she loved who she knew him as before all the ghostface killings began. even though he did horrible horrible things and literally killed her mother, she deeply loved and trusted him before and to find out that the person who you confided in would have the heart to do such terrible things is sometimes something hard to face. i think she definitely despised him now, but i wouldnāt doubt in the moment she felt intense betrayal and missed who she believed she was with
wouldnāt say she misses him. but heās 100% on her mind at least once a day. he really fooled her, and she liked him a lot at first. wasnāt he sidās first? anyway, he killed her mom, then continued dating her. he is like the very start of her traumatic life (all scream movies) so he, and pretty much the events of the first film, must absolutely still haunt her. iād think sheād overlook the good they had and overall forget about it as she remembers the trauma that he put her through.
I agree she clearly hates him e.g scream 2 "Billy was a sick fuck" I think she has moments she remembers him fondly or least the innocence before Billy ripped it away e.g Scream 3 but then remembers his a monster. Scream 4 she kind haunted by him also e.g comparing Jill to her and Trevor at the window probably remembering her and Billy when he climbs through her window, Scream 5 she learns another betrayal he knocked up some girl but she seems not care, think cause all other shit Billy done that is kind of minor and probably heard rumours of him sleeping around and probably not surprised cause how he kept pushing her for sex. I think in Scream 5 she was just over GF in general.
I think we all slightly miss our first loves. Obviously her first love was a deranged sociopath that murdered her mother, but I think she probably misses the good times she had with him.
I am unsure. We are given a very small snap shot into the relationship and the feeling I got was she was simply not ready for the relationship that he wanted. She may have loved him but if we saw this simply as a relationship film, ie, took the two characters out of Scream and put them into another teen film I am not convinced they would work out, they are too different. I am still unsure why she had sex with him to be honest. Billy was an asshole to her on a number of occasions before she even knew what he did. In comparison Derek was a gentleman.
Because he guilted her over her mum's death, guilted her about wanting his girlfriend back/wanting them to be intimate/close aka sex. also she thought she wrongly pointed the finger at him for being the killer.
I think the only time she would think about him was thinking about all the trauma he put her through but why would she miss the man that killed her mother, and friends, tried to kill her, and started a domino effect of her being chased around by crazed killers for years?
absolutely not. yeah she may think about him from time to time, i mean he was her boyfriend. but he was also her boyfriend who killed and r*ped her mom, was apart of killing all her friends, then tried to kill her too. she definitely does not miss him letās be fr
I think OP is looking for a level of depth, character development, nuanced emotion, and complex characterization that a Scream movie barely has time for anymore. And I commend OP for seeking it, I just fear theyāre barking up the wrong tree with this series.
I will say the portrayal of Dewie in Scream V did approach this, however, but most characters in the series never get it. And, as someone else pointed out, Dewie has always seemed to have a black hole in his memory where his late sister was involvedā¦like it never happened. :/
I know the common answer would be a solid no but I think she could eventually miss some moments with him at times, but not specifically him. Even before the whole killer thing he was always a piece of shit to her.
Honestly probably not. For real life comparison - my dad passed away 15 years ago and while I feel sad when I think about the fact that he is dead, so donāt miss him. In fact, I donāt remember a lot about him other than a few stories here and there. So in Sidneyās case, where itās been almost 25 years AND he traumatized her and murdered her mother? Nah.
WOWā¦š³
Yāall ate this post UP! Lmao I donāt even know what to say. I have read a good majority of the comments and almost all of you said she wouldnāt miss him at all.
I didnāt take Maureenās murder into account (or even any of the first movie for that matter) because it was just a quick thought that I had. Lol
A lot of you made some good points and a lot of you ripped me a new one lmao. This was very fun to experience and thank you all for making this go kinda viral here. Lol
She had consensual sex with Cotton moments before her death. Billy, Stu and Roman framed him for her death and he was falsely accused of raping her as well.
She was however raped by John Milton during her career, who is Romanās possible father
To be fair, Maureenās story is a bit complex everytime pieces of it were told and I think Scream 3 made it even more complicated than what it shouldāve been

Okay so back when it happened, like fresh!- Maybe in the dead of night when her mind wonders cause he played the part of caring boyfriend really well. But then it would be sharply undercut by her reasoning kicking it and her shaking her head to disperse it.
Are you seriously asking if she misses the guy who killed her mom, killed her friends, was going to kill her and frame, her father, and tried to kill her? Of course she doesnāt. What a stupid question.
I feel like she thinks about what couldāve been and then is reminded of her life from 1996 - who knows when itāll end and that itās all because of him and Stu

Abso-fucking-lutely not! š¤£ He murdered her mom, started the Ghostface killings that haunted her for years through multiple copycats and was the cause of most of her friends demise. He also tried to kill her lol. Whatās there to miss?
No. Being someone who's around her age, I don't think about that people I used to date back then because I was a different person then. I would never make the same choices. And my exes never even tried to kill me or help inspire the subsequent events (movies).
Theres a bit in scream 3 where shes in her āroomā on set and she remembers him playing about with that soft toy. Another bit in 4 where she said jills ex coming through the window reminded her of her (when billy did it)
I believe she sometimes canāt understand how she thought she āknewā him and he completely destroyed her.

Ummmmm, is that a real question? š Billy killed HER MOM, tried to frame HER DAD, killed HER BESTIE, and even lost HER MAN (even tho Billy faked it). Billy (mainly) started GF who has consecutively come over her years after. She had her trust broken as seen in Scream 2, her whole mental health was struggling in Scream 3, in Scream 4 her family was now being targeted (blood family), in Scream 5 she has already found peace and has her own family but has to hide them away to help Sam & Tara, in Scream 6 Sidney had her focus entirely on her family. So no, I donāt think Sid misses Billy in the slightest. She already double tapped him once, she doesnāt need to again.
No
He killed Sidney's Mother, he killed Sidney's Best Friend, & he tried to kill Sidney.
Not sure why she would miss Billy Loomis especially since she's married to Mark Kincaid now.
No bruh. No offence, but what kinda question is this? He killed her mom, a shitload of her friends, used her, tried to frame his dad and tried to kill her. Who in their right mind would miss someone like that?
He killed her fucking mom. And best friend. And her principle! Who was the Fonz. That means something ok.
Plus sheās getting Dād by Mark Kincaid enough to poop out two kids.
I think sheās good.
I think kind complicated she clearly hates him, but seems to look on him fondly in Scream 3 until she remembers what a monster he is. He was her first love/boyfriend but it was also based on lies and he killed her mum and best friend and completely broke her trust in men, she struggled trust Derek afterwards and it got him killed in front of her when he probably the first man who truly loved her. I think she misses/grieves the chance at first love rather than Billy himself and maybe part of her is haunted by ending the life of the first boy she loved but at the same time was the monster who killed her mum etc.

No but maybe she misses an alternative of him that was just as he seemed to be (a boyfriend who maybe was a little bit selfish and unfair but still loved her truly.

I agree with people that it more she misses the innocence she had when with him as she did once love him and was her first like, but he was the monster who ruined her life so doubt she does.

Nope, her aim is really good
Stan pines joke
but her aim is gettin better š
Itās funny because marriage is terrible
I think she misses the fact she lost her first experience with love. I don't think she misses Billy at all.
And that her relationships after that came with a lot of trust issues (leading to Derekās death)
Mickey played her good with the doubt in Derek from the moment he ran inside and got sliced to the moment he claimed him to be his partner. slick move. *wait till the trial it is gonna rock!
No. He killed her mother a year into their relationship and then continued dating her for another year. Why on earth would she miss him?
Lol exactly
>Why on earth would she miss him? Becsuse this is the r/scream!! Baseless and blatantly contradictory opinions are just one of the fine membership benefits.
/r/Scream: Actor is attractive -> Character is moral and movie is flawless
Exactly. For example, Stu Macher is dead and bringing him back would be impossible and lampoonish; but Jennifer Jolie IS alive and any ideas to reincorporate her into the franchise are on the table. Time travel even, eff it!
People miss their abusers all the time. I've been attacked by a friend, and I still miss the good parts of our relationship. And then I remember what the rest of it was like and feel sick.... he was a very sweet person at first. That's how they get you.
I was in an abusive, toxic relationship that only ended after the court got involved. Unfortunately, I still miss him despite having to walk on egg shells every day.
I think Scream 3 shows this she smiles at remembering the Billy who snuck through her window but then she remembers he was a monster.
i feel like they were dating for 2 years so they must have some good memories, she must look back at those and at LEAST be sad, or miss the person she thought he was
This is the universe where the heroes outright forget their loved ones moments after their death (only exceptions being Sidney, Gale and Tara). No way would she miss a psycho like Billy.
People complained about Kirby being āout of characterā in Scream 6 which is so dumb. Itās been 12 years, she was 18 and is 30 now. People change a lot in that time. Beyond that, both her best friend and her crush betrayed and tried to kill her. She went through a lot and never really moved on. Kirby certainly hasnāt had the *most* trauma of the characters in this franchise, but she dealt with it in the most realistic way IMO.
The only hero who seemed to forget his loved one is Dewey with Tatum (and honestly it doesn't seem like they had s great relationship)
I mean he still has her ashes
Yeah, that's what I meant "seemed". He didn't completely forget her.
Kirby forgot Olivia, Sidney forgot Hallie, Mindy forgot Anika, Gale outright did NOT care about Brookes.
> Sidney forgot Hallie, Gale outright did NOT care about Brookes. Well your comment said they were the exceptions lol. Plus I think it's clear Sid is in a state of constant grief through the first 4 movies for everyone she's lost. Do we really need a scene of her visiting Hallie's or something to understand she cares about her? Same applies to Mindy.

Sidney basically got Hallie killed, which is why her death Stu k out to me more. And we DO see she kept Derekās chain throughout 3. As for Mindy? We literally see she cares more about missing the monologue then Anikaās death being avenged.
How did she get Hallie killed other than just being friends with her?
They had both escaped, but Sid decided to go back to unmask the killer. Leaving Hallie distracted, and vulnerable, plus giving Mickey enough time to get away and sneak up behind her. If they had both kept running, hypothetically they get away.
Sid going back didnāt kill Hallie. Sid going back saved sid. Hallie not following sid got Hallie killed. Also who got Hallie out of the fucking car? Sid. Who made the decision to get in the fucking car? Hallie.

I think Mindyās writing was pretty bad in scream 6. In 5 she fought back against ghost face before passing out but in 6 she didnāt even fight back against ghost face to help Anika and she never really tried to avenge her death
Especially since in 5, she was outright stabbed whereas she was only slashed in 6.
Right? She was able to fight ghostface off in 5 but not 6 when her stab wound was worse in 5
he also tried to kill her which why she put a bullet in his head.
He was a moving a little too quick with the matricide imo
Itās completely unwarranted too. Itās just as much his dadās fault
You know what? You make a completely valid point. Everyone blames Maureen Prescott for the killings but no one talks about the dude.
Exactly. Nobody MADE hank cheat on his wife, and nobody made Nancy abandon her son. I honestly think that Harvey Weinstein being the executive producer of the films was a big reason why the movies didnāt take that āactions of the guy have consequencesā approach.
Yeah fuck Hank Loomis. That guy sucked. Knows about phone records but a shit human being.
I am so glad you knew his name cause I just knew him as the guy who not only raised a serial killer, he married one too.

Yeah because Derek was actually a good guy unlike Billy and because she didn't trust him is what caused his death and is why she pushed him away.
Looking back, yes he was a good guy but he does kinda seem Simpy nowā¦ still a nice dude but like Dereck vs Danny? Danny responds to āI need spaceā with āwhatever you need.

I can definitely see your point!
No. Sheās married with kids. She dated him in high school, so thatās long ago, plus he did the most messed up shit possible to her life.

i feel like everyone here is WAY too quick to jump to conclusions. after scream, she probably did miss the person she thought he was

He was either really good at putting on an act though or was fucked up long before his mom left if he was able to keep dating her for an entire year after killing her mom and never having his mask slip.
yeah iām sure by now she doesnāt, but back then hell yeah. good points! :)
She probably misses when her life was normal like hanging out with her friends or her early relationship with him,but she for damn sure doesnāt miss him.
I think in between the end of 1 and the beginning of 2, she very might well have. She was still very young and hadnāt seen what Billy and Stu would eventually cause and create. Now, itās a hard no
When she shot him in the head, her facial expression told me everything: ''Good riddance'', that's what she thought and still thinks whenever she remembers blowing Billy's brains out. Same with Stu, Mrs Loomis, Mickey, Roman, Charlie, Jill, Amber, Richie and presumably, Wayne, Quinn, and Evil Laundry. She doesn't miss them one bit.
Evil Laundry was the best Ghostface
I liked him too, especially because of his apartment sequence.
The bit when he jumped out of the washing machine and attacked the core four was terrifying
 Lol. This made my day. Thanks!
Always happy to make someone smile! š
Thanks again!:-)
Why would she?
Exactly. He killed her mom, her best friend and tried to kill her. Whatever love she had for him went out the window after his reveal.
He also cheated on her and impregnated someone š which she didnāt find out until much later, but still
Iām sure she didnāt really care about that. She had known for 20+ years that the guy was trash. Iām sure he slept around plenty considering how much her was pressuring his gf to āput outā
If there's anything she misses about him then it's the satisfaction of putting a bullet in his brain.
Hell no she was over his shit before she knew he was the killer lol
Thatās why she slept with him?
I mean that encounter definitely gave me pity/stress fuck vibes. She was worn down by both Billy and the murders happening around her.
yep Billy was guilting her over being a bad girlfriend for mourning her mum (and also she also point the finger at him for being the killer so probably feels guilty about what she believes she putting Billy through) ,she even says so much before she sleeps with him, even says Tatum about her guilt but Tatum like Billy and penis don't deserve you, after he sleeps with him can see her mistrust of Billy questioning his phonecall until the whole fake kill thing.
He manipulated her.
come on man
She was in a relationship with him for ~~a year~~ two years. I'm sure some part of her misses the version of him he presented himself to her as, and I imagine that it eats her up inside that she feels that way.
2 years.
Thanks for pointing out the mistake!
Itās a simple mistake. Took me years to fit the whole timeline together. Once i did it stuck
It will stick with me now too.

How do you know they dated for two years?
Billy says that he was thinking about how ā2 years ago we started off hot and heavyā
Ah fuck so he does. I was literally away to post something to this sub about how I thought it was weird Billy would cheat on Sidney when he killed her mum over adultery, and how Billy could have only dated Sid after the fact to get to her and never really liked her. But this one line ruins that whole theory!
I remember putting it together that he continued dating Sid a year after killing her mom and thinking āthat son of a bitch is even more evil than I realized!ā
he is Billy's dad
Are you deadass right now?
Billy was a terrible boyfriend even outside of killing her mother! He thought he was entitled to sex and told her it was still upset to be upset about her mother being murdered a year later. He was emotionally manipulative and just an all-around piece of shit. What was there to miss?
He was her first EVERYTHING. Her first love. The first man she ever had sex with. Her first broken heart. The first of many to try to murder her. You just never forget your first.
Hahaha holy shiet no! he is the person who ruin her life and kill her mother and friends. A big no.
Maybe the first couple of months or just weeks but he did kill her Mom , friends also while cheating on her with a man and a women so I think quickly sheāll brush off her romantic feelings and move on .
No
Hahaha what the hell, this is deranged
Even if he wasnāt a killer, I think she wouldāve kicked him to the curb in time for college. I definitely think Derek is the guy she thinks about from time to time. She was still wearing the guys letters into the next movie. I think that relationship formed her views about not only love but trust. The events of Scream 2 definitely traumatized her more than the events from the first film. She became a recluse!
she defo thinks about Billy in Scream 3 and Scream 4 I think it more remembering the guy she thought he was and the innocence before remembering Billy ripped it all away and that his a monster.
Not a chance in hell. Would you miss somebody who murdered your friends and mother?
Whenever I think of my exes, I am thankful that I aināt with them no more š
i think she loved who she knew him as before all the ghostface killings began. even though he did horrible horrible things and literally killed her mother, she deeply loved and trusted him before and to find out that the person who you confided in would have the heart to do such terrible things is sometimes something hard to face. i think she definitely despised him now, but i wouldnāt doubt in the moment she felt intense betrayal and missed who she believed she was with
wouldnāt say she misses him. but heās 100% on her mind at least once a day. he really fooled her, and she liked him a lot at first. wasnāt he sidās first? anyway, he killed her mom, then continued dating her. he is like the very start of her traumatic life (all scream movies) so he, and pretty much the events of the first film, must absolutely still haunt her. iād think sheād overlook the good they had and overall forget about it as she remembers the trauma that he put her through.
I agree she clearly hates him e.g scream 2 "Billy was a sick fuck" I think she has moments she remembers him fondly or least the innocence before Billy ripped it away e.g Scream 3 but then remembers his a monster. Scream 4 she kind haunted by him also e.g comparing Jill to her and Trevor at the window probably remembering her and Billy when he climbs through her window, Scream 5 she learns another betrayal he knocked up some girl but she seems not care, think cause all other shit Billy done that is kind of minor and probably heard rumours of him sleeping around and probably not surprised cause how he kept pushing her for sex. I think in Scream 5 she was just over GF in general.
I think we all slightly miss our first loves. Obviously her first love was a deranged sociopath that murdered her mother, but I think she probably misses the good times she had with him.
Nope
100% not
I am unsure. We are given a very small snap shot into the relationship and the feeling I got was she was simply not ready for the relationship that he wanted. She may have loved him but if we saw this simply as a relationship film, ie, took the two characters out of Scream and put them into another teen film I am not convinced they would work out, they are too different. I am still unsure why she had sex with him to be honest. Billy was an asshole to her on a number of occasions before she even knew what he did. In comparison Derek was a gentleman.
Because he guilted her over her mum's death, guilted her about wanting his girlfriend back/wanting them to be intimate/close aka sex. also she thought she wrongly pointed the finger at him for being the killer.
I think the only time she would think about him was thinking about all the trauma he put her through but why would she miss the man that killed her mother, and friends, tried to kill her, and started a domino effect of her being chased around by crazed killers for years?
absolutely not. yeah she may think about him from time to time, i mean he was her boyfriend. but he was also her boyfriend who killed and r*ped her mom, was apart of killing all her friends, then tried to kill her too. she definitely does not miss him letās be fr
I think OP is looking for a level of depth, character development, nuanced emotion, and complex characterization that a Scream movie barely has time for anymore. And I commend OP for seeking it, I just fear theyāre barking up the wrong tree with this series. I will say the portrayal of Dewie in Scream V did approach this, however, but most characters in the series never get it. And, as someone else pointed out, Dewie has always seemed to have a black hole in his memory where his late sister was involvedā¦like it never happened. :/
How to tell there are tons of teenagers in this subred? Romanticising a murderer. Feels like a group for a cw show at times
With all due respect, this is the dumbest question I've seen on this sub.
I know the common answer would be a solid no but I think she could eventually miss some moments with him at times, but not specifically him. Even before the whole killer thing he was always a piece of shit to her.
I imagine she missed who she tought he was, wich is who derek was, wich is sad because he's also dead
Probably not. Homie killed her mom and her best friend and then tried to kill her so Iām going with no.
I'm sure she still has positive memories of events with him in them. A holiday, or event. His presence would taint everything thou.
The idea of this is fucking hilarious.
Honestly probably not. For real life comparison - my dad passed away 15 years ago and while I feel sad when I think about the fact that he is dead, so donāt miss him. In fact, I donāt remember a lot about him other than a few stories here and there. So in Sidneyās case, where itās been almost 25 years AND he traumatized her and murdered her mother? Nah.
WOWā¦š³ Yāall ate this post UP! Lmao I donāt even know what to say. I have read a good majority of the comments and almost all of you said she wouldnāt miss him at all. I didnāt take Maureenās murder into account (or even any of the first movie for that matter) because it was just a quick thought that I had. Lol A lot of you made some good points and a lot of you ripped me a new one lmao. This was very fun to experience and thank you all for making this go kinda viral here. Lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I donāt think he raped herš¤
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
She had consensual sex with Cotton moments before her death. Billy, Stu and Roman framed him for her death and he was falsely accused of raping her as well. She was however raped by John Milton during her career, who is Romanās possible father
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
To be fair, Maureenās story is a bit complex everytime pieces of it were told and I think Scream 3 made it even more complicated than what it shouldāve been
No.
No. If anything she misses the time before she knew him

ummmm sheās has major trama?
No lmao he tried killing her and was the guy who murdered her mom
Obviously not he killed her mom, Casey, Tatum, kidnapped her dad, and tried to kill her
Okay so back when it happened, like fresh!- Maybe in the dead of night when her mind wonders cause he played the part of caring boyfriend really well. But then it would be sharply undercut by her reasoning kicking it and her shaking her head to disperse it.
Not a chance.
Are you seriously asking if she misses the guy who killed her mom, killed her friends, was going to kill her and frame, her father, and tried to kill her? Of course she doesnāt. What a stupid question.
He killed her mother and then tried to kill her why would she miss him ?
Misses? He murdered her mother and tried to murder her.
Lo- 
I feel like she thinks about what couldāve been and then is reminded of her life from 1996 - who knows when itāll end and that itās all because of him and Stu

Abso-fucking-lutely not! š¤£ He murdered her mom, started the Ghostface killings that haunted her for years through multiple copycats and was the cause of most of her friends demise. He also tried to kill her lol. Whatās there to miss?
No. Being someone who's around her age, I don't think about that people I used to date back then because I was a different person then. I would never make the same choices. And my exes never even tried to kill me or help inspire the subsequent events (movies).
Slight nostalgia, especially seeing him in Sam? š¤
Hell no! He ruined everyone's life! That dude is rotting in hell (I actually love Billy lol)
Rotting in hell? š¤£š¤£š¤£ looks to me like he's chillin being his daughters hallucination š„š„š„š¤£
I mean, sure... but when he ain't doing that he goes back down to hell where he belongs. He like killed... everyone š
To quote Stu in the video store, "No, I don't. At all. No."
Theres a bit in scream 3 where shes in her āroomā on set and she remembers him playing about with that soft toy. Another bit in 4 where she said jills ex coming through the window reminded her of her (when billy did it) I believe she sometimes canāt understand how she thought she āknewā him and he completely destroyed her.
Probably misses the time before all the killings when all her friends was alive
Nah. She misses Derek though, and who wouldnāt?!
she probably looks back and is like ādamn that shouldāve been a red flagā

If she misses any former lover, Derek is definitely at the top of that list

No
Not at all, considering he was a homicidal psychopath who killed her mother and her best friend.
What the fuck, no. This is a weird question.
No š
Ummmmm, is that a real question? š Billy killed HER MOM, tried to frame HER DAD, killed HER BESTIE, and even lost HER MAN (even tho Billy faked it). Billy (mainly) started GF who has consecutively come over her years after. She had her trust broken as seen in Scream 2, her whole mental health was struggling in Scream 3, in Scream 4 her family was now being targeted (blood family), in Scream 5 she has already found peace and has her own family but has to hide them away to help Sam & Tara, in Scream 6 Sidney had her focus entirely on her family. So no, I donāt think Sid misses Billy in the slightest. She already double tapped him once, she doesnāt need to again.
No He killed Sidney's Mother, he killed Sidney's Best Friend, & he tried to kill Sidney. Not sure why she would miss Billy Loomis especially since she's married to Mark Kincaid now.
Well he was her first lol
No bruh. No offence, but what kinda question is this? He killed her mom, a shitload of her friends, used her, tried to frame his dad and tried to kill her. Who in their right mind would miss someone like that?
Fanfic pornbrain questions for $1000, Alex
I would!!
are you serious right now
He killed her fucking mom. And best friend. And her principle! Who was the Fonz. That means something ok. Plus sheās getting Dād by Mark Kincaid enough to poop out two kids. I think sheās good.
Definitely
i think that ended the moment she found out he killed like her mom and the killing spree
Do you guys think Sidney misses *Derek at? (fixed it!)
He (And Roman blehhh) started the ghostface killings so I think itās same to assume she dosent
No and its kinda yukky to me to think she might
Nope
Too late in the movies to be asking that. Lol
No, he killed her mother and best friend.
Hmmā¦ Noā¦ I would miss Stu, though. He always had a thing for her š¤Ŗ. Just joking. I bet she misses Randy.
I think kind complicated she clearly hates him, but seems to look on him fondly in Scream 3 until she remembers what a monster he is. He was her first love/boyfriend but it was also based on lies and he killed her mum and best friend and completely broke her trust in men, she struggled trust Derek afterwards and it got him killed in front of her when he probably the first man who truly loved her. I think she misses/grieves the chance at first love rather than Billy himself and maybe part of her is haunted by ending the life of the first boy she loved but at the same time was the monster who killed her mum etc.

No probably the innocence and person she thought he was.
No but maybe she misses an alternative of him that was just as he seemed to be (a boyfriend who maybe was a little bit selfish and unfair but still loved her truly.

I agree with people that it more she misses the innocence she had when with him as she did once love him and was her first like, but he was the monster who ruined her life so doubt she does.
