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.

The son at the end of torchwood:children of earth. I was also traumatised by that, God I'd forgotten about that.

Cassie from Unforgotten had me in tears a few weeks back

I clicked on this thread because I saw it in trending and immediately thought “Mark Greene”. But then I thought.... no one will have said that, it was soooooo long ago. So interesting that it has already been mentioned so many times. It was nearly 20 (twenty!!) years ago.

Sorry to all the people I have just made feel really old by mentioning how long ago it was.

Denny, Grey’s Anatomy

Glenn from The walking Dead

Crazycatstory · 23/04/2021 19:26

Mark Greene in ER, and Morse in Inspector Morse, both of those get me anytime I see it.

@RonaldMcDonald

Will from the Good Wife Lexie Grey, Mark Sloan -Grey’s Anatomy
Yes Will in the good wife, I totally forgot about that. Shocking!!

And how could I forget Hank in Breaking Bad Sad

Kona84 · 23/04/2021 19:27

@FionnulaTheCooler totally agree.
The Body is definitely a very emotional episode.
seen it at least 50 times and still cry every time.

Cactus1982 · 23/04/2021 19:27

The two I first thought of were Lady Sybil and Barbara in Call the Midwife.

Inspector Morse

MargaretHooper · 23/04/2021 19:27

One for the oldies - Valerie Barlow's electrocution on Coronation Street (fifty years ago and I still remember it).

A (little) more recently - Mrs Landingham on the West Wing.
And most recently - all from It's a sin, which I found almost impossible to watch.

Kona84 · 23/04/2021 19:27

I’m also going to pitch in with grays anatomy - George’s death was pretty sad

h0rsewithn0name · 23/04/2021 19:28

Harry in Silent Witness. I was in love with him. :(

Hellocatshome · 23/04/2021 19:28

Dr Pratt in ER

Fembot123 · 23/04/2021 19:29

Not technically tv but I didn’t like Sirius Black being killed off, a step too far in my opinion 😂

But agree about Colin in it’s a sin, so horrible

Ginger1982 · 23/04/2021 19:29

Colin in It's A Sin.
Mark in ER.
Hodor in GoT 😭
