What's your most upsetting tv death?

[MrsSteveMcDonald]

Just watching Bones for the first time and absolutely gutted about Sweets which made me wonder which other tv deaths have upset MNers.

Lots of potential for spoilers here so apologies in advance.

I opened this to say Sweets from Bones, watching it (for the 4th time ) and just had the episode, I knew it was coming but still

[TunstallTansy]

Damon in Brookside

[MobyDicksTinyCanoe]

Cucumber on channel 4.

The series was so upbeat and then one of the main characters died from a whack to the head. It wasn't gory or overdone but the simplicity and finality of his death haunted me. I had nightmares over it.

It was made by the guy who did its a sin so if anyone liked that they'll love cucumber as it's pretty similar.

This. I thought about the episode for weeks afterwards, and so did everyone I know who watched it.

Sun and Jin from Lost always gets to me too.

[Roomba]

I don't even know the character's name, but Alf Roberts' first wife in Corrie I was unfortunate enough to see her car crash death when I was about six and it traumatised me! I refused to watch Corrie for years and would run upstairs and hide whenever the theme tune was in TV. Showing my age there.

Agree the death in Cucumber was horrible.

[MindBodyChocolate]

Paul in eastenders. I loved his flawed character.

[KillerFlamingo]

Buffy's Mom It was so well done as well, so realistic and heartbreaking.

[Roomba]

Just remembered 'Not Penny's Boat' in Lost. That was traumatic too!

[SuddenArborealStop]

Daniel, Laurels baby in emmerdale... though later not her baby... anyway the actress played it so well I sobbed

[WhatWouldPhyllisCraneDo]

Barbara in Call The Midwife

[ArtfulScreamer]

Oh yes Colin dying broke me especially when they played who wants to live forever as we walked into that at my dads funeral 💔

[Hardbackwriter]

Wallace in the Wire. Haunts me still. Though, like a PP, It's A Sin came pretty close to being the most upsetting - I watched it all in the three days after giving birth (an error, in hindsight!) and cried buckets.

[DioneTheDiabolist]

Mr Hooper from Sesame Street.
