Jasmin Savoy Brown wants to see more of the Meeks-Martin family in Scream 7. Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin's mother, Heather, appeared briefly in Scream (2022) when the twins had their friends over to theorize about the killer. On their mantle was a remembrance of their uncle, Randy Meeks, which cemented their connection to the original Ghostface murders. However, Heather never appeared outside of this short cameo, and their father remains a mystery.
During an interview with Screen Rant to promote Scream VI's digital and home release, Brown revealed her desire to further explore Mindy's family. Brown wanted Heather Meeks to play a bigger role in the future. She also wanted to find out who the twins' father is, whether he is from a previous Scream installment or a new character. Check out the full quote and Brown's full interview below:
Jasmin Savoy Brown: We've already seen Heather, Chad and Mindy's mom, but I would like to see more of her, and I'm so curious who their dad is. If he is someone from the past film, or if he's someone new, I would love to see more of that family explored.
Bringing The Martin-Meeks Family Front & Center In Scream 7
Family and legacy are at the heart of Scream (2022) and Scream VI with the Ghostfaces, the Carpenter sisters, and the Meeks-Martin twins. Sam and Tara have been at the center of Scream (2022) and Scream VI as Sam Carpenter grapples with Billy Loomis' legacy and her own darkness, but shifting the focus to the Meeks-Martin twins could bring a new perspective to the story. Sam Carpenter, taking the torch from Sydney Prescott, has been the target of Ghostface in the last two installments, and given her infamy, she will likely continue to draw danger.
Although Scream 7 hasn't been announced the success of Scream (2022) and Scream VI make it seem like an inevitability. If there is a Scream 7 Heather Meeks could have a more prominent role, especially after losing her brother and nearly losing both her kids to Ghostface killers. Scream 7 should explore the Meeks-Martin family further, with the twins' parents stepping up to try and pull their children out of the line of fire. Another possibility could be to tie the Meeks family more prominently into the Ghostface legacy, drawing the core four back to Woodsboro.
The core four are second-generation survivors with ties to the original massacres through their families. Exploring that generational trauma and how it has impacted them as well as their families could be an intriguing way to pull them back to Woodsboro. This town has been scarred by violence and tragedy for decades, which must have had an impact on every citizen. Scream 7 could explore the core four more deeply as they deal with the threat of Ghostface, the emotional struggles of their families, and Woodsboro.
