[edit] Character history
[edit] Scream
Sidney's high school boyfriend, Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich), murdered Sidney's mother with help from his friend Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard), because she had slept with Billy's father, prompting his parents to divorce. They then tried to murder Sidney and most of her friends as revenge. Sidney survived the ordeal, however, and killed them both. Throughout the film, she is antagonized by a local reporter named Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox), who tries to exploit the murders to further her career.
[edit] Scream 2
In the second film, the killer was Billy's mother (Laurie Metcalf), who wanted revenge for the death of her son. Helping her was Sidney's friend, Mickey (Timothy Olyphant). They preyed on Sidney's college friends. She killed them again, with help from Gale Weathers and Cotton Weary(Liev Schreiber ).
[edit] Scream 3
In the final film, the killer was Sidney's half-brother, Roman Bridger (Scott Foley). Upon being reunited with his mother, he was promptly rejected. Enraged, he manipulated Billy Loomis into becoming Ghostface by showing him that she was having an affair with Loomis' father. Thus, he orchestrated the events from all three films. At the end of the film, Sidney defeated and killed him.
Although the events of the films have clearly left her a paranoid and deeply troubled woman, the final film ends on an upbeat note. In the beginning of the movie, she is shown living in a very fearful, isolated manner. She is surrounded by security devices, but never feels safe. In the film's final scene, she watches as her security gate swings in the breeze, unlatched, before returning to conversation with her friends. The implication seems to be that the closing of the trilogy's final chapter have allowed her to finally let go of her fear.
