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.

Rachel in Cold Feet
Marley in Marley and Me
Tony Wilton, Soldier Soldier
Adam and Jessica’s baby in Casualty :(
Benjamin Button
PS I Love You
Jack in Titanic

I cry at most sad moments lol

All the ER deaths.
Tony in Soldier Soldier.
And a more recent one, Bob Newby in Stranger Things. He knew he was done for, but he also knew he’d saved the others 😢. Oh god, the bit where Joyce is screaming and trying to get to him, and Hopper is dragging her away shouting, “he’s gone Joyce, he’s gone”.
Bob Newby, superhero. #justiceforbob

Quinn in Homeland

Thomas in the film My Girl

beaches of course esp when the song kicks in

another mark greene fan here and meg home and away

goign back further what about daphne in neighbours!

Steven in Primeval and then the main character played by Douglas henshall whose name now escapes me
So obviously I am over it !

When I was about nineteen I took my toddler cousin to see The Jungle Book. I had seen The Jungle Book before, when I was ten, not long after my father had died and it was a bit emotional. I got to hug Baloo after though and that was bloody brilliant!

Anyway, I'm in a cinema full to young children and parents. It comes to the bit with Baloo being "dead". I've seen it. I know Baloo isn't dead. The children are all grand and I'm sitting there with tears rolling down my face trying hard not to sob. I'm bloody useless!

I also believe that The Lion King should have a warning attached to it, because that almost destroyed me. The only plus point was that I already disliked Jeremy Irons a lot - a friend had worked on a film with him and she said he was vile - and now he was a murderer so I could hate him more.

Mark Greene in ER.
Morse - I accidentally watched it one afternoon when on a day off (kids came home to find me in floods of tears)
Marley when I read the book (both times) and at the cinema

The first 10 minutes of Up

Mary in Sherlock

David Tennant's Doctor, saying he doesn't want to go.

Paul Hennessey in 8 simple rules... the kids reactions gets me every time.
Jim in ghost whisperer... I'm rewatching the box set whilst signed off work and it just gets me so much. They just love each other so much, it was so unfair on melinda.
Grandad in only fools and horses.
Loads of Game of Thrones ones... Robs wife especially as she's pregnant.
So many... I cry at the drop of a hat though

Louise2092 Paul Hennessey in 8 simple rules made me distraught. You could really feel the sadness in all the cast.

Agree with Nana (Royale Family), Mike Delfino, Hodor, Arthur Digby, Marley (watching this on a plane, felt a div for crying, looked round to find I was surrounded by fellow sobbers!!), Grandad (Raymond Briggs), among others.

Dare I add to the already depressing list?

War Horse - can't remember why but I know I bawled ~uncontrollably~
About Time (Bill Nighy's character).
Mrs McKluskie, Desperate Housewives. Reminds me so much of a dear, straight-talking neighbour of mine that had not long passed due to cancer, and the actress who played McKluskie sadly lost her life to cancer, too.

--uncontrollably

Strike-through fail.

I’m still not over Avril and Laurence getting taken out on the motorway in How We Used to Live.

Carpet time was never the same after that...

NRTFT so apologies if already mentioned.

I'm not much of a crier. I'm a cynical cold hard bitch tbh. But...

Glen in TWD
John Coffey in Green Mile
When Laurel & Ashleys baby died in Emmerdale

Jack in Titanic (and she DID LET HIM GO)

Jenny in Forrest Gump

Also Corinne in Patch Adams. That scene at the grave is horrendous.

Did anyone except me, my husband and my sister watch Containment? Impossible to watch the whole series without absolute blubbering when she died. All of us proper sobbing.

Oh god, John Coffey in The Green Mile destroyed me and now that the actor himself is dead I can never watch it again. Even typing this I'm getting a bit wobbly.

I thought I might cry at Casualty tonight as it was clear a cast death was on the wayw, but as it turned out to be one I wasn't particularly engaged with I was grand.

At least these are kind of 'real' people. And yes I know there's Bambi's mother but crying my eyes out in a Pokemon movie...when all the little creatures were killing each other...knew I'd crossed some kind of weird limit then.

I sobbed my heart out when George and Dr Shepherd died in Greys Anatomy. Never cried so much in my life! DH thought I was mad lol

Goodnight mr Tom where the boy was tied up with the baby.

Gunpowder gelatine, spoiler alert

Michael isn’t dead!

A lot of these, in particular Opie (SOA), Will (The Good Wife), Dobby (HP), Poussey (OITNB), Marley, any children. I think it’s good I don’t watch ER!

Also Emma in Terms of Endearment or at least her talking to her boys before she dies

PS I love you, the whole bloody film, I used to watch it with my DP & we used to talk about how we would both be if either of us died. My DP died 3 years ago & much as I love the film I've never managed to watch it since.

Whaaat? Barbara in Call the Midwife? I had to record the series as DH was very ill and I've only just got halfway through watching it...... Shouldn't have read this thread.

Years ago when Nick Berry’s wife died in Heartbeat. My then 7 year old told me, “It’s alright Mummy, they’re just acting; she’s ok really.”
