Silver Scream was the first of four parts of a connected storyline that extended through Doctor Who Ongoing #10. It introduced the characters of Matthew Finnegan and Emily Winter, who would later become the final full-time traveling companions of the Tenth Doctor's life. Important to the overall Ongoing story arc, the Doctor saved Winter's life, even though her death was a fixed point in time. This act led directly into his trial by the Shadow Proclamation in Fugitive.

Notes
Silver Scream was originally intended to include Charlie Chaplin, however it was found out late that there were rights problems in using him, and so he was replaced with a character named Archie Maplin. If it had been Charlie Chaplin, then it would have fit in with Donna's reference to him in Journey's End similarly to how the Doctor mentioned a desire to meet Agatha Christie in Last of the Time Lords.

Continuity
- In Journey's End when Donna Noble is about to get her memories whiped by the Doctor. She suggests going to meet Charlie Chaplin. As noted above, rights issues prevented the use of Chaplin for this story, however the Doctor does make an oblique reference to "the fellow in the bowler hat", indicating that Maplin is intended to be a different individual existing in the same universe as Chaplin (which preserves continuity should Chaplin ever appear on the TV series).
- In an interview, Tony Lee confirmed that the ongoing series featuring the Tenth Doctor occurs right before the final specials.
- The characters of Matthew and Emily return at the end of the following story arc, Fugitive, at which point they become companions of the Doctor.
Timeline
- Silver Scream occurs after any number of possible points. It certainly occurs sometime after the final DWM Tenth Doctor comic strip, The Crimson Hand, but it likely does not occur directly after those events. In the IDW line, it definitely occurs after The Forgotten, but it could also occur after The Time Machination or Room with a Deja View — although there is nothing to connect Scream with these latter two stories. There are several companion-less New Series Adventures novels and audios this could come after. Placement with respect to televised episodes is also a bit speculative. Fugitive includes a reference to the "he will knock four times" prophecy, and Tesseract refers to Malcolm Taylor from Planet of the Dead, thereby placing this story somewhere between Dead and The End of Time. Its precise placement with respect to The Waters of Mars is more difficult, as those events are not referenced. Nevertheless, it's possible to imagine that it occurred after Waters, as the Doctor is once again meddling with fixed points in time.
