Sobbing over the death of a TV character

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. Sad

As we've move into books and films; Shelby from Steel Magnolia's.

GoT. Hold the door. Tear up just typing it SadSadSad.

SneakyGremlins · 10/08/2018 10:14

Apart from Doctor Who I haven't seen any of these shows or films Grin

However I've just gotten into criminal minds and I have a horrible feeling some of the cast is doomed...

I was also a little sniffly when Jenny Shepard died in NCIS

53rdWay · 10/08/2018 10:14

Henry Blake in MASH.

HollyGibney · 10/08/2018 10:16

GoT S5 Finale. I was sobbing and furious at the same time. How could they? I was very close to giving up on the series after that.

Mrscog · 10/08/2018 10:16

Yes to Cedric Diggory too.

But also - I'm still not over Matthew Crawley dying either - Blush, surely Dan Stevens could have held on for just one more season?!!!

TeamLannister · 10/08/2018 10:18

Poussey in OITNB, proper sobbing. Also Coco, can't watch it without bawling.Blush

SilverySurfer · 10/08/2018 10:19

I haven't cried over many deaths in tv or film but Dobby the house elf finished me off - I sobbed my heart out.

Tidy2018 · 10/08/2018 10:20

Mrs Landingham

A couple of soaps I never ithewuse watched - Ethel in Eastenders, and the Corrie one played by Julie someone. Sorry forgetting names.

End of Blackadder. I can't even think of it without getting tearful

Monr0e · 10/08/2018 10:20

Definitely Mark Greene.

And I agree with the character death in The Subtle Knife, I weep buckets every time.

The most I've ever sobbed over a character though is Ponyboy in the Outsiders
I was around 15 the first time I watched it. I was crying so hard I could hardly breathe.

TSSDNCOP · 10/08/2018 10:21

Adriana in the Sopranos is just awful. I really, really thought they'd let her go. Then they didn't, of course.

Leo mcGarry kills me, and Will Gardner was such a shocker episode.

Tidy2018 · 10/08/2018 10:21

Ithewuse = otherwise

Butteredparsn1ps · 10/08/2018 10:22

If we are including films - and Disney are particularly terrible for this - what about animations?

The first 10 minutes of Up get me every time.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 10/08/2018 10:24

I’ve only been genuinely upset about Morse (for an inordinately long time!), Snape and Hodor.
But Robert Romano in ER was shocking.

JohnnyKarate · 10/08/2018 10:24

Brendan Frasers character in Scrubs made me sob.

Also Joyce in Buffy! Quite a lot of Buffy had me sobbing to be fair.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 10/08/2018 10:25

I am there, for me it's Northern Lights, Billy Costa: "Where's my Ratter?" It also made me feel sick.

xJessica · 10/08/2018 10:26

Matthew Crawley - did not cope with that at all! Also Lady Sybil.

Barbara from Call the Midwife.

MrsJayy · 10/08/2018 10:27

Snapes death had me snotting and sobbing .

MrsJayy · 10/08/2018 10:29

Oh god yes Barbara from CTM i forgot she died poor Tom 😣

Gileswithachainsaw · 10/08/2018 10:30

Oh gosh how could I forget Lucy in ER.

And Sandy. The following storyline wjere weaver loses Sandy and the parents refuse to let her have their baby back...

Cheripie64 · 10/08/2018 10:31

Another one for Will in the good wife.
Marley
Wilson -friday night dinner
Most recent Hannah Baker in 13 reasons why, shocked they actually showed the scene.

thenightsky · 10/08/2018 10:31

Aiden Connor's suicide in Coronation Street. I still well up when I think about his dad finding his body and crying 'my son, my son' Sad

Ginger1982 · 10/08/2018 10:32

Mark Greene...I remember my mum saying, 'are you sure you want to watch this?' I was like, 'yes I have to!'

More recently GoT with 'hold the door!' 😭

KaliforniaDreamz · 10/08/2018 10:35

All i am saying is don't watch Offspring - it will FINISH you!

Missingstreetlife · 10/08/2018 10:36

Princess Diana, oh wait
Hard to tell if they are real
