History Characters / Scream2

* DumbBlonde: Subverted. Cici's first scene has her engaging in an intelligent conversation about violence in media, decrying the idea that film violence correlates with real-life violence.

* SignificantNameOverlap: [[spoiler:Shares a first name with Casey Becker, to make the death look like a copycat killer.]]

* BoundAndGagged: [[spoiler:Bound by his Omega Kappa Beta friends as a prank. Ghostface then gags him.]]

* ForgottenFallenFriend: Subverted. [[spoiler:Derek is not mentioned in the following movies, but in ''Scream 3'', Sidney can still be seen wearing the necklace he gave her.]]

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Billy as Sidney's seemingly caring but suspicious boyfriend. Sidney realizes this and begins to suspect he may be the killer. [[spoiler: Subverted and Deconstructed. Unlike Billy, Derek really is the NiceGuy he appeared to be, but Sid hesitates to save him out of fear of another betrayal until it's too late.]]
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler: A very nice, loyal and kind hearted young man and a great boyfriend who ends up getting shot to death after Sidney starts to doubt him. Even Mickey Lampshades this trope to rub the salt in Sidney's wound after she realizes too late that he was the opposite of Billy in every way.]]

* PluckyComicRelief: Somewhat. Getting snarkingly rejected by Hallie, discussing sequels with Randy, supporting Derek's singing performance, conducting the crowd's applause...

* SassyBlackWoman: Sidney's snarky, sassy roommate.
* TheShrink: She's studying psychology, and often acts as Sidney's informal therapist, convincing her to come out of her shell.

* SignificantNameOverlap:[[spoiler:The only reason he was a victim of the killer? As a way to reference the death of Steven "Steve" Orth from the first film, with whom he shares a similar name]].

* TheDragAlong: Heecomes this to Gale after she forces him into snooping around locations where murders have taken place.

* TheDragAlong: Becomes this to Gale after she forces him into snooping around locations where murders have taken place.
* GenreSavvy: Downplayed. Joel might just be the most GenreSavvy character in the franchise for taking a leave after [[spoiler:Randy's murder]] and not returning until the killings have ceased. Although seeing as how he didn't read Gale's book ''before'' taking his job as her cameraman, it kind of puts him in check.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After he discovers that Gale's previous cameraman was one of the victims in Woodsboro, he begins to threaten to bail on Gale, stating, "I wanna report the news! I don't wanna '''be''' the news!" After [[spoiler:Randy's death, seeing Randy's body, and the subsequent impounding of his news van, where Ghostface/Debbie Salt/Mrs. Loomis skewered Randy]], Joel makes good on his threat and doesn't reappear until [[spoiler:Mickey and Mrs. Loomis]] are killed at the end of the film.

* BigNo: As she is thrown off the balcony and falls to her death.
