Street (1984). The name of Sidney's childhood home—34 Elm—was given dialogue and visual confirmation in the fifth film, Scream (2022); co-director Matt Bettinelli-Olpin stated that the first reference to this is Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega)'s namecalling the address when referring to the Stab movie-within-a-movie version of the character (portrayed by Tori Spelling) in Scream 2), and later an additional scene in the fifth film depicts two characters driving down by the block as they enter Woodsboro. Originally, a scene scripted by Williamson and filmed by Craven in the original 1996 film cut this reference due to time constraints. In the cut scene, Sidney is shown typing out the address in writing during her distress call to the online 911 system.

Her children with Dempsey's character include a newborn or toddler in a baby stroller, as well as two school-aged daughters that Sidney plans to take to school after she goes for an exercise run. In 2022, the directors released the first draft written on March 2, 2020, six months before filming began, which describes the two daughters being aged six- and eight-years old. In the first draft, Mark and the children make an appearance. Her third child, however, is absent from this first draft.
