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.

"Was that a fire caused by an aerosol and he was working when the shout came in so heard the address?"

They'd had the kitchen refitted and had a gas leak.
Josh's family arrived back home. His wife had a heavy cold and didn't smell the gas that had filled the kitchen. It ignited when she switched the kettle on and blew up the house.
I think Josh did hear the address while he was on duty.

Amelia Silver in Waking The Dead. The utter devastation of Dr Grace Foley sitting on the curb then the grief of the rest of the team as they hear the news. So very well portrayed.

Interested in this thread?

Stefan in the early Swedish language Wallander.

I was devastated by the death of Coulson on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

As per previous, Mrs Landingham on The West Wing, and Greg Pratt on ER were also tear jerkers both at the time and when repeated

SocraticJunkieWannabe · 23/04/2021 21:49

Agree with Mark Green in ER, but more recently Poussey in Orange is the New Black was truly heart-wrenching.

Joyce Summers and Chris from Skins (Joe Dempsey)

Pinkychilla · 23/04/2021 21:50

Me too! Really disturbed me and I think about it now and then still so horrible!

Agent Kate in NCIS

Inspector Morse, just the section of Sgt Lewis gets me every time.

@LunaNorth

Christopher Eccleston’s character in Cracker. Stabbed to death by a psychotic Robert Carlyle and bled out in the street.

Rachel from Cold Feet.

That episode was amazing. So shocking and devastating.

What? Sabrina the Teenage Witch died?

HeronLanyon · 23/04/2021 21:55

Bloody hell peanut that glasses line nearly made me cry right now, imagining it, and I haven’t even seen the programme.

Bivvy · 23/04/2021 21:55

Derek Shepherd from Greys Anatomy. Heart breaking

starfishy · 23/04/2021 21:56

Mark Greene in ER. Really want to rewatch ER but can't face this again

Will Gardner in The Good Wife. Kept thinking it must be one of those 'and they woke up and it was a dream' was not expecting it at all.

winewolfhowls · 23/04/2021 21:57

Definitely Dr Green from ER as said so many times upthread, but any given ER episode,i absolutely loved it but can't face the emotional turmoil of rewatching it.

12 days of Christine

I remember being really upset at the episode of soldier soldier when someone left his safety off and killed another soldier during a training exercise.

Its a sin was brilliant, poor Colin.

Opie in sons of anarchy 💔💔💔 and MUFASA! 🥺💔

SnottyLottie · 23/04/2021 21:59

Shireen in GOT.

When I realised it was happening and that Stannisbwasn’t going to change his mind and stop it, i went into the kitchen. But I could still hear her screaming. It was horrific 😫

Also Gloria, Colin and Ritchie in It’s A Sin. Colin because he was such a sweetie and went in such an awful way. Ritchie’s because I genuinely believed that Lydia would get to him before he passed on and the way his mum just came out that he had died and he was alone when it happened, I felt so angry and upset on Lydia’s behalf 😡

TangledUp789 · 23/04/2021 21:59

Victor Meldrew in One Foot In The Grave. It was a really good final episode and his death was in keeping with the tone of the show, but it just makes me so sad to think of Margaret living all alone. Even though Victor drove her mad a lot of the time, she did really love him Sad

I forgot about about the last episode of Blackadder goes forth. Just thinking about it makes me well up.
