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!

Ser Barristan Selmy GOT. No need, especially as in the books, his character survives.

Finnick Odair.
Most of the characters killed off by JKR.
Poussay is OITNB.

John in Peaky Blinders.

LittleBlueFish · 08/09/2018 07:43

Hedwig 😢

SapphireSeptember · 08/09/2018 07:48

Severus Snape, Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin, Fred Weasley and Sirius Black. Rowling has a lot to answer for. Sad

Shoite · 08/09/2018 07:49

Peter Quinn hurts the most
Followed by Mike in Breaking Bad( I really disliked Hank)
Dobby and Snape
John in Peaky Blinders
Rita in Dexter- think that’s the episode that got to me the most, it was so so sad

SapphireSeptember · 08/09/2018 07:49

Oh yes, and Hedwig! Just, why?!

Alwaysatyke · 08/09/2018 07:49

Beverley Katz in the Hannibal tv series

ISpeakJive · 08/09/2018 07:52

Don’t want to be a party pooper but can a warning go in the title saying ‘possible spoliers’.
There’s a few films/programs I still need to get round to watching.

ItsJustASimpleLine · 08/09/2018 07:53

Many many of the above.

Hayley in Originals
Matt in Vampire Diaries
Laurel in Arrow

I mean if you can’t work out there might be spoilers from the title as it is...

exLtEveDallas · 08/09/2018 08:04

Everyone who was 'snapped'
Coulson (even though it's hasn't happened...yet)

AlmaGeddon · 08/09/2018 08:05

Nigel in the Archers - I stopped listening then. It was so silly.

mrsnoon · 08/09/2018 08:11

Dr Greene and Dr Pratt in ER, Ruth in Spooks (although it would have been ridiculous to expect a happy ending I suppose) and Alice Morgan in Luther although I hope she may not really be dead.

😂👍🏼

Definitely Glen in TWD. I'd followed his story for so long - and loved the character arc.
Leofric in The Last Kingdom - so funny, so grumpy, so sexy.

shirleyschmidt · 08/09/2018 09:01

@ErrolTheDragon Lol obviously don't want people thinking I'm a sadistic weirdo 😂 I took from the post that it was characters we'd prefer weren't bumped off, and on that basis as much as I loathed him I had to do a shout out for Joffrey, it's not been the same without him! 🙊

strawberrypenguin · 08/09/2018 09:05

Ianto in Torchwood. I still can't re watch that episode.

DwangelaForever · 08/09/2018 09:08

Matthew in Downton Abbey 😭

Wetdogloveshubert · 08/09/2018 09:09

BirdsAndBlips Matthew doesn't die! He makes a cameo appearance in the final series.

Killing off Ruth Evershed is still one of the lowest character assassinations on tv. Curse you, Spooks! I heart Nicola Walker.

Catspyjamazzzz · 08/09/2018 09:11

They showed the episode where Lucy dies in ER this week. I still hoped she would pull through.
I cried my bloody eyes out...

CarolinePooter · 08/09/2018 09:14

Bobby Simone in NYPD Blue. I wept buckets.

Sarahandduck18 · 08/09/2018 09:16

Joffrey?? Joffrey??

I was gunning for someone to do him in.

Him and Ramsey must be the 2 characters I’ve most wanted killed off ever!

Carl from the Walking Dead. Annoying little shit.
