This article contains major Spoilers for Scream 6! Scream 6 introduces a major romance between Tara (Jenna Ortega) and Chad (Mason Gooding), which fixes the Scream franchise's problems with its legacy characters' relationships.
In a recent interview with Collider, Ortega addresses Tara's new romance with Chad in Scream 6 and explains why it's ultimately a good thing for the development of her character.
Chad is one of the "Core Four" group members featured in Scream 2022 and, at one point in the film, was considered a suspect as the new Ghostface. However, Chad himself is later attacked by the masked killer, thought to have bled to death until the end of the film, where it's revealed he survived.
As he gets closer to Tara, he strikes up a romantic relationship with her and he is later stabbed multiple times by two Ghostface killers whilst trying to protect her and is once again left for dead, however he is able to survive his injuries once more.
Scream 7 is officially happening, but fans have been stunned by two unexpected exits from the new movie. Both Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who played sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter in Scream (2022) and Scream VI, won't be returning for the new movie.
Campbell hasn't ultimately said goodbye to Sidney and the Scream movies, so if the studio agrees to pay her fairly, it's likely she would return as a character for Scream 7. New characters might be at the center of the current Scream story, but Campbell will always be the face of the franchise.
Liv McKenzie was a main character in Scream (2022 film), known informally as Scream 5. She was the girlfriend of Chad Meeks-Martin. Liv was also the ex-girlfriend to Vince Schneider, one of the original Ghostface killers, Stu Macher's nephew.
Until the very end, it appeared as if Chad had been killed by Ghostface, and it's still unclear how he survived such brutal stabbings. However, when he and Tara were attacked and it seemed like he'd been killed, it was likely Quinn and Ethan behind the attacks.
Another survivor of the events of 2022's “Scream,” Chad Meeks-Martin is Mindy's twin and Randy's nephew. He's also going to college in New York with Tara and since the last movie, their relationship has gotten a little bit more … romantic.

Scream 6 sets the college scene by converting McGill University into the fictional Blackmore University and having Tara and her friends attend a college party at the start of the film. Given the time frame of Scream 6, Tara is approximately 20 years old, while Sam should be about 26.
Scream 6's Sam Carpenter is the daughter of Billy Loomis, but Sam and her sister Tara's mother may have also appeared in the original Scream film. In the first Scream, Neve Campbell starred as Sidney Prescott, a high school student coping with the death of her mother and being taunted by a Ghostface killer.
"As the survivors of the recent attack in Woodsboro travel to New York City for college, Tara, our final girl, begins to experience manic psychological breakdowns while seeing the ghosts of past killers," it reads. "Meanwhile, her sister, Sam, attempts to manipulate her by pretending to be Ghostface."
Unfortunately for Scream franchise fans that may want to see Stu Macher make a comeback, Scream 6 has fairly definitively laid the theories to rest by confirming his death. There is a lingering shot in the film that shows Stu Macher's photo and confirms that he died in 1996.
