Misery Chastain. Paul Sheldon regrets the day he met me.

Does anyone remember ‘Love My Way’?
It was an excellent Australian drama in about the mid 2000’s
Anyone who watched it will be with me in saying ‘Lou’. Such a shock and utterly heartbreaking!!!

The otter in Ring of Bright Water
The swallow in The Happy Prince
Khaireddin in Pawns in Frankincense

Haven't heard of that series @Riddikulusness. Might give it a try.

BilboBercow · 06/09/2020 22:19

Genuinely shocked more wasn't made of the Anne Frank crack btw.

Ruth in Spooks. I really wanted her and Harry to have a happily ever after.

GwendolineMarysLaces · 06/09/2020 22:29

Kate Rowan from Heartbeat. I was in my early teens and remember the scene where she died very clearly

Todd in Neighbours.
Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.
Ironman.

But Todd affected me for years.

Another one - stoick in how to train your dragon 2. I was 8 months pregnant when I saw it, and was ugly crying - snot everywhere, uncontrollable floods of tears, even my sister looked embarrassed to be sat next to me!

Tobermory · 06/09/2020 22:31

Goose in Top Gun. So sad.

Brody in Homeland, several episodes on I was still waiting for him reappear.

Sailor in Riders
Read it while Inter-railing in the 80’s and sobbed on a beach in Greece

notenoughgintonight · 06/09/2020 22:38

Amy Pond and Rory in Doctor Who. I mean I know they got zapped back in time so didn't technically die, but I cried my eyes out at that.

emsmum79 · 06/09/2020 22:40

Mike in Desperate Housewives. I sobbed.

jakeyboy1 · 06/09/2020 22:42

There's a Mike Gayle Book Life & Soul of the Party where a character you haven't even met dies in the first chapter and you really feel the pain of it it's awful!

Aside from that -

Brody in Homeland
DCI Gates in Line of Duty
Rachel in Cold Feet

Notsofast1 · 06/09/2020 22:42
