Before Scream 4 even hit theaters, Hayden Panettiere’s character, Kirby Reed, became an instant fan favorite. Her witty lines in the leaked sides reminded many of Scream’s iconic Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy), making her feel like a female counterpart to the beloved movie buff.

However, Kirby’s fate has been a hot topic of debate among fans. The last time we saw her, she was lying on the floor, agonizing after being stabbed. But since her “cold body” was never shown, fans have speculated endlessly about her survival, fueling numerous theories on message boards.

A Tease in the Audio Commentary

A leaked clip from the upcoming Scream 4 DVD adds fuel to the fire. In the audio commentary, Wes Craven and Hayden Panettiere discuss Kirby’s fate, hinting at the possibility that the character might still be alive.

Craven’s cryptic remarks and Panettiere’s enthusiasm about Kirby’s role leave fans wondering: could the cool, movie-savvy geek return?

Not on a Post-Mortem Videotape

One thing is clear from their discussion—if Kirby were to come back, it wouldn’t be in the form of a post-mortem message, like Randy in Scream 3. This tantalizing tease has fans hoping for a future Scream sequel where Kirby’s fate is finally resolved.
