Scott Wolf and Lacey Chabert: The 2025 Reunion and New TV Roles

Fans of the brother-sister duo, Bailey and Claudia, have a major reunion to look forward to. Scott Wolf and Lacey Chabert are scheduled to reunite at '90s Con in March 2025, sparking excitement among the nostalgic fanbase.

Beyond the reunion, both actors have significant projects on the horizon. Scott Wolf is not only reprising his role as Dr. Richard Miller in the second season of the FOX medical drama Doc but is also slated to direct an episode of the series.

Lacey Chabert, who successfully transitioned from child star to a major force in made-for-TV movies, continues her prolific partnership with the Hallmark Channel. She has an extended multi-picture deal with the network and is already set to star in the 2025 film An Unexpected Valentine, continuing her reign as the "Queen of Hallmark."

Neve Campbell: The Scream Queen’s Triumphant Return

Neve Campbell, who played the resilient Julia Salinger, cemented her legacy in the horror genre as Sidney Prescott in the Scream franchise. After sitting out the sixth installment, she announced her highly anticipated return for Scream 7 in March 2024.

Her decision to return to the iconic role, which she first played in 1996, was a massive news story for fans of both the horror genre and the actress herself. The release of the *Scream 7* trailer in late 2024 has further amplified the buzz around her triumphant comeback as the ultimate 'final girl.'

Matthew Fox: From Salinger to the Assassin

Matthew Fox, known globally for his post-Party of Five role as Jack Shephard on the critically acclaimed series Lost, is returning to a leading role in a major drama. He is set to star in the upcoming series The Assassin, which is currently in development at Max.

This project marks a significant return for Fox to a high-stakes television drama, following his previous work in the limited series *Last Light*. His consistent choice of complex, high-profile roles demonstrates his evolution from the eldest Salinger sibling to a seasoned dramatic actor.

The Extended Party: Other Key Cast Members and Their Legacies

The Salinger family's story was supported by a talented group of actors who became household names in their own right. Their careers highlight the show's incredible ability to launch talent.

Jennifer Love Hewitt (Sarah Reeves Merrin)

Jennifer Love Hewitt joined the show in 1995 as Sarah Reeves Merrin, Bailey's girlfriend. Her character was so popular that it led to the spin-off series, Time of Your Life.

Hewitt has since starred in numerous film and television projects, including *I Know What You Did Last Summer* and *The Ghost Whisperer*. Most recently, she has been a main cast member on the FOX procedural drama *9-1-1*, showcasing her enduring television career.

Jeremy London (Griffin Holbrook)

Jeremy London played Griffin Holbrook, Julia’s on-again, off-again boyfriend and later husband. He was a major recurring character throughout the series' run. London has maintained an active, though less high-profile, acting career in various independent films and television movies since the show ended.

Paula Devicq (Kirsten Bennett Salinger)

Paula Devicq played Kirsten Bennett, the Salinger family's nanny and Charlie's love interest who eventually becomes his wife. Devicq has continued to work in television and film, including roles in *Rescue Me* and *A-List*. Her character represented the stability and love the Salinger siblings desperately needed.

The Enduring Legacy of the Salinger Family Saga

The emotional depth of Party of Five—which tackled issues like alcoholism, cancer, financial hardship, and the fundamental struggle of growing up without parental guidance—gave it a topical authority that few teen dramas of the era possessed. The show's raw, realistic portrayal of grief resonated deeply with its audience.

The show's legacy is so strong that it inspired a 2020 reboot on the Freeform network. This new iteration, which focused on the Acosta siblings, a family of Mexican-American children whose parents are deported, updated the core premise to reflect modern social and political issues. While the reboot was short-lived, it solidified the original series' status as a timeless narrative framework for depicting family struggle.

Today, whether you are catching Scott Wolf on his new medical drama, watching Neve Campbell return to the *Scream* universe, or enjoying a new Lacey Chabert Hallmark movie, the Party of Five cast members continue to define major parts of the entertainment landscape. The upcoming March 2025 reunion between Wolf and Chabert is the latest reminder that the bonds forged as the Salinger siblings remain as strong as ever.
