Let’s face it, as much as we love her (or love to hate her), news reporter for Top Story and author of The Woodsboro Murders, Gale Weathers, will never reach the Scream Queen status that Sidney has rightfully earned. Sidney is the star, while the strong willed and fame-hungry Gale, remains the J.K. Rowling to Sidney’s Danielle Radcliffe. However, when it comes to SHADE, this is where Ms. Weathers shines. Gale has more witty one-liners than she has lives of a cat and we want to celebrate her by counting down 10 of our favourite Gale clap-backs!
