- Maggie Duval

Maggie Duval, formerly known as Daisy Anderson, was a main character in the television series Scream. She is portrayed by Tracy Middendorf.

Description
Emma's mom, in her mid-30s, is the town's medical examiner, a grown-up science geek who plays down her beauty. Maggie spends a lot of her time trying to make up for the fact that Emma's dad abandoned them. Oh, and she's harboring a dark secret from her past, a past that is catching up with her.

History
Maggie grew up in Lakewood along with her childhood friend Brandon James. She grew up next door to Brandon and they would write notes to each other and hide them for each other to find. Her family called Maggie "Daisy" but the only one besides her family who knew of this was Brandon. When Maggie started maturing into her teenage years she met her future husband Kevin who became her boyfriend. However, Brandon never liked him and felt she deserved better due to Maggie confiding her relationship issues with him.

One night, Brandon went to a dance where Maggie was attending and was assaulted by high school students, which caused Brandon to snap.

At some point in the past Maggie and Brandon had hooked up together which Kevin found out. Brandon had enough and just snap and killed 5 students in one night on October 31,1994. Her future husband Kevin Duval somehow managed to survive the rampant killing spree. Maggie managed to meet Brandon at Wren Lake to talk to him but her father without her knowledge called the police.

According to Maggie when she met him he seemed scared and she believed he did not commit the murders. Brandon gave her a carved necklace he made for her before saying all he ever wanted was for them to be together, but the cops ambushed and shot him and he fell into the lake which he presumed died. However, he had survived his gunshot wounds, as Maggie found him and had her friend, Miguel Acosta, help her take care of him and bury his knife.

Her father covered up her name in the reports and media because she was 16 and a minor, allowing Maggie to bury her past as Daisy.Sometime after the murders and before Emma's birth, Maggie gave birth to Brandon's sole child, Piper Shaw, who was given up for adoption.

Years later, Maggie and Kevin got married, they had at least one daughter, Emma Duval. The marriage between the two ended badly due to Kevin getting drunk too often. One day, Kevin tired to take Emma somewhere but Maggie protested, Kevin got so angry that he attacked Maggie and fractured her jaw. Horrified at what he had done, Kevin left town leaving behind his daughter.

In Season 1, Piper returned to Lakewood and started a killing spree, ultimately targeting Maggie and Emma. In the end, Maggie was stabbed in the stomach but managed to survive.

In Season 2, Piper's accomplice began a new killing spree. Maggie suspected Brandon James, having known he was still alive. She and Miguel work together to find out if he's alive and leave a note for him. They soon realize that the killer wasn't Brandon, but Maggie finds the note bloodstained and pinned with a knife.
