Sobbing over the death of a TV character

[HRTpatch]

We are binge watching Boardwalk Empire. My favourite character died last night and I was in bits. It was beautifully done and a shocking end to the season.
I haven't felt this way since Thelma and Louise went over the canyon.

CJ's bodyguard in TWW. They were just starting to fall in love, and it was so utterly unexpected.

I only watched TWW fairly recently & felt a proper idiot for being so upset about something everyone else knew about just after the millennium

I agree we expect spoilers in a thread about television characters, but surely mentioning a newly released cinema film isn't the same?

Ronnie Mitchell eastenders 😭

Arthur in Holby. Full on ugly cry, puffy eyes the next day in work. And again when his "ghost" showed up for Morven's last day.
And Mark in ER. Lucy in ER. Pratt in ER. Not dead but Ray's legs in ER.

Oh no icantreachthepretzels Wesley! Think I had blocked that. So sad.

Mark Greene and the end of Dexter season 4 totally broke me 😩

Laiste Libbys husband. Yep, absolutely sobbed!
And going waaay back when Gary was killed riding his bike in Thirtysomething.

Oh and Meg on the beach in 90s Hone and Away

I know it's not from tv, but John Coffey from The Green Mile is the one that has me sobbing the most, very closely followed by Artax (the horse) dies in the swamp of sadness in The NeverEnding Story 😢😭

I cry over all sorts of things in films and TV even though it is fiction.
When Well'ard died in EE I was in bits!

Thanks TheCountryGirl. I just googled it, it was Belle. The list of Home and Away deaths is huge! Summer Bay is such a dangerous place to live!!

Oh and Daniel in Stargate SG1 still can't watch that episode again! Jacob in the same series too

notsmartenough thank you

If it's the one i'm thinking of OP, he was my favourite character and I couldn't believe what i'd just seen. I didn't cry but every atom of me was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Somebody told me that the actor was a bit of a cock irl so that's why that happened so abruptly. They needed to be sacked. I googled it and it seems to be true but I don't care because I STILL WOULD.

So would I.

Yes to so many of these. Especially the Grey's Anatomy ones.

Not a death, but this scene always gets me teary or into a full on ugly cry if I'm in the mood.

I don't cry at the TV. Or books. not any more. but My Sisters Keeper got me (the book, never seen the movie)
Mark Greene's death.
Joshua Carter's stillbirth (I cried at that, but I was pregnant at the time.
Lucy Knight (The actress quit due to her sister's death and she couldn't deal with the show any more)
Alcide Heveraux in True Blood.
Terry Bellefleur in True Blood.
Tara Thornton in True Blood.
The Terminator at the end of T2.
Um... Avengers Infinity War...
that guy in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
That death in Star Wars The Force Awakens.
All those deaths hit me.

I cry at everything!
Molly in Country Practice had us crying at school next day. Shelby in Steel Magnolias everytime. Mark Green in ER was a killer.
Now I know this character doesn't die but at end of Toy Story 3 with Andy makes me sob Every time without fail. Also agree about The Good Dinosaur my DH walked in at end & myself & my DS were hysterical. I have been known to cry at adverts. I even shed a tear watching Old House New Home this week 🙄

Like SideOrderofSprouts, Niamh Cusack’s death in heartbeat is the first one I remember being absolutely devastated by, I must have been 9 or 10 and I cried and cried and woke up thinking about it the next day! I have that scene of him looking out on the snow in my head now!

Also David Tennant’s doctor who. We had lost two close family members in the 6 weeks running up to that Christmas and it was like the floodgates finally broke.

Finally, the film of ‘into the wild’, about a guy who goes off grid in Alaska. Just as he decides he wants to rejoin civilisation he dies a drawn out and avoidable death, so he knows he is dying. Then at the end they show a picture of the real man and I realised it was a true story, then I cried all the way home from cinema.

Inspector George gently. He was shot on the beach and I didn't see it coming. Cried like a baby!

Bobby in the sopranos I've rewatched sopranos on a loop for years , every time Bobby dies I cry it breaks my heart

Alex in Hamish Macbeth. I was about 12 and I sobbed for days!
Mark Green, that one still tears me up.
Most recent, Mary, Sherlock, “My Baker Street boys” that line! 😩 yup crying now!

Wolfray I’m with you on that one!

Sons of anarchy- obi, cried my bloody eyes out, was so angry 😠

Quinn in Homeland. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

The baby scene in T1 ... every single time!!! 😭😭😭😭.
I cry ALOT in private but if you tell ANYONE I will deny it then kill you 🤔🙄😉😏
