Betty in Mad Men - just no need, it was the end of the series and unrealistic for a young woman to die of lung cancer

Cordelia in Angel - think they did this to get back at the actress for getting pregnant, the death was so senseless and ruined the long term story arc

Mark in ER - could he not have had a happy ending on that beach? Also it was such a rare condition.

Meg in Home and Away - this made teenage death seem so real

Chris in Stand By Me - a bad boy made good surely he was due good karma and a long life?

Luke and Han in Star Wars - just done for shock value

No one ever dies of dementia in films or tv!

I cried my eyes out when D’Angelo was killed in The Wire and Wallace

And even Brodie. Omar was the best character the series had to end with him not in it

Adriana in The Sopranos it was so shocking Sad

ErrolTheDragon · 08/09/2018 01:11

Joffrey, Game of Thrones
You might be alone on that one!

I'm sorry most of the direwoves have been killed off in GOT.

Severus....just wanted him and Harry to have a big hug 😢

RussellTheLoveMuscle · 08/09/2018 01:21

Yes Abraham from TWD and Lupin from Harry Potter Sad

Did Barry Grant die in Brookside ? I seem to remember he did.

delphguelph · 08/09/2018 01:39

God yes Adriana in Sopranos.

What a fucking character, amazing actress.

Touchnotthiscat · 08/09/2018 01:39

Oh gosh yes Poussey in Orange is the new black - that was horrible!

RightOnTheEdge · 08/09/2018 02:12

Omg yes! Poor Elvis Sad

Is Riggs definitely dead?

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/09/2018 02:20

For the Wash lovers. I am a leaf on the wind.

PatriciaBateman · 08/09/2018 02:21

Captain Kirk, after all his "I've always known I'd die alone" spiel, he died with Captain Picard's face looming over him, in a stupid fall, in a stupid dreamworld. Always felt like it terribly sold him short.

Lester Nygaard in Fargo, very seriously flawed character, but still got drawn into him (I blame the wonderful Martin Freeman!), and was absolutely gutted when he died in the stupid way he did.

OnceUponATimeInWonderland · 08/09/2018 02:25

Mark and Lexie in Greys.. I just wanted them to finally be together and happy!

sanityisamyth · 08/09/2018 03:15

Niamh Cusack playing Kate Roman in very early Heartbeat 😢😢😢

sanityisamyth · 08/09/2018 03:15

*Rowan damn auto correct

TwoBlueShoes · 08/09/2018 04:09

I also wanted to say Carl from the Walking Dead. Felt so sorry for the actor too.

I haven't watched the latest season of Fear the Waking Dead yet, but I heard my favorite main character dies. Sad

AbsentmindedWoman · 08/09/2018 04:15

Glenn from TWD Sad

Poussey from OITNB Sad

BirdsAndBlips · 08/09/2018 04:56

Mark in ER definitely - I was so bloody sad, ugly crying in my spag bowl and all.

BirdsAndBlips · 08/09/2018 04:59

Matthew in Spooks
Danny in Spooks
Surely many others in Spooks

amilosingitor · 08/09/2018 05:02

@IamReginaFalange you have just ruined me

amilosingitor · 08/09/2018 05:04

@gluteustothemaximus mike delfino....I'm with you. No need at all

offtocornwall · 08/09/2018 06:56

Another Nigel in the Archers. Such a uplifting fun joyous optimistic character. Utterly pointless and although I still listen- it has been diminished by this attempt at a ratings push.

Pascha · 08/09/2018 07:07

Who said Wilson from Friday Night Dinner? Poor Jim Sad.

Minesril · 08/09/2018 07:22

Yes Carl was really annoying, especially since he's still alive and well in the comic! I was really hoping he'd been bitten by a whisperer, but no the writers are not that subtle Sad
