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.

@Yogaposer was Meg in Home and Away Blakes girlfriend? If so, I sobbed my heart out at that.

The most traumatic that still haunts me is Lisa Faulkner in the chip fryer in Spooks.

The one that gets me every time is Arthur in Merlin. 😩

Avon in Blake's 7, I was distraught, my brother assured me they all missed and he got away, it's the nicest thing he's ever said to me.
In fact I'm not sure why I'm posting this as he didn't die.

Cucumber. It's an absolutely harrowing scene and episode! Russell T Davies is a genius but I am genuinely traumatised by it!

Oh yes! Cassie in Unforgotten just recently. I properly sobbed.

Rachel in Cold Feet nearly finished me off

I didn't read spoilers or anything at the time so had no idea it was going to happen! I actually screamed at the screen!

A very old one.. Col. Henry Blake in MASH. Whole episode about him going home to his family... And then dies on the way home.

My earliest memory of being pissed off and crying at a tv programme aged 10 in 1987

Aiden Connor's suicide in Coronation Street. I don't normally cry at fictional deaths, but I roared my head off at that one, especially his dad's reaction. Sad

And the Spooks/deep fat fryer one, but I saw that coming.

Alex Rousseau in Lost.

Chris in Skins. Freddie's death in Skins was also pretty traumatic as was Grace's.

Sirius Black in Harry Potter. Also Remus and Tonks. Hedwig. Dobby.

Loads more probably!
