Didn’t this happen to Neve Campbell on Scream 3? Her role was limited because she was working on another film Drowning Mona.

Instead of killing her off just let her go to college she doesn’t have to be in the opening, her first scene could be within the first 30/45 minutes of the film then they can give her 15 minute screen time which is not so bad for her character.
