Kevin Duval

Kevin Duval was a recurring character in the television series, Scream. He was portrayed by Tom Everett Scott.

Description

Kevin Duval is Maggie's former husband and Emma's father. At some point, he was attacked by Brandon James, who also shared a romantic interest in Maggie. After this, Kevin and Maggie struggled with their relationship, eventually filing for divorce. Kevin left both his former wife and daughter in Lakewood and moved away. Maggie and Emma haven't contacted him since he left, vice versa, and didn't know where he was living. After the death of his step daughter, Piper Shaw, Kevin returned to Lakewood to help Emma recuperate.

In Season 2, Kevin returns to Lakewood and is revealed to have had abused Maggie due to getting drunk too often before he left her out of guilt. He left Lakewood again shortly before the new killer had revealed their existence to the public to get help for himself. However, at the end of Halloween/Halloween II, he is shown to be back in Lakewood, standing over Kieran's grave.
