When the trailer dropped, viewers quickly reacted to the mayhem witnessed in the preview. Many made their voices heard as they were worried that Courteney Cox's persona might not get to star in a seventh "Scream" film. In the comments section on YouTube, user @dominikskalic5145 posted, "I'm actually so scared for Gale this time, it looks like he got her in the trailer, and the fact that they killed Dewey in Scream 5 makes me believe that they will kill the famous trio, with Gale being killed [off] this time and Sidney being the only one left from them in Scream 7 maybe, and I don't really believe they'd kill her off any time in the future." Things don't look great for Gale Weathers in the trailer, and if the franchise is looking to clean house with its long-running characters, we could see the last of her in "Scream 6."
While others were most assuredly troubled about whether or not Gale would survive, they couldn't help but also mention their excitement for the feature, like @furby7, who commented, "This looks crazy good. I can't wait and im scared for everyone this time around, especially Gale." Another user pleaded in all caps for Ghostface to stay away from Gale, but also went on to express their excitement to see the movie, stating, "The fact that Ghostface is ruthless, the return of characters and also the fact that it looks like no one is safe is exciting to me. I can't wait to watch this!!!"
Nothing lasts forever, and it could be time for Cox's tenure in the franchise to end — but some individuals out there believe Gale isn't going anywhere.
