Bea Smith - Wentworth Prison

Stars2theside · 07/09/2020 20:47

Another one for Sirius Black here! I sob and sob every time.
Get all goosebumps just thinking about it!
Snape is a close second!!! Especially as Alan Rickman is dead IRL RIP xx

But... whilst Change was a horrible book ending when it came out, I am certainly over it now... if Butcher kills off Thomas I will be cross

MerylBleep · 07/09/2020 20:48

Bambi's mum. I remember trying to pretend I wasn't crying in the cinema as a kid. And Hazel in Watership Down

MerylBleep · 07/09/2020 20:50

Donna Noble (not killed off but I cry every time I watch the episode where her memory is wiped!)

I'm the same. I wanted Donna to feel special. Loved the series with her in it

RosieTheDragon · 07/09/2020 20:50

Michael from Jane the Virgin
It was so unexpected (to me anyway) I cried and am still a little shocked by it.
spoiler alert
Was a little annoyed he was actually alive later on in the story, because of how upset I was about it 😅

@CarrieMoonbeams

Sorrow, who was Tess D'Urberville's baby 😢 Tess herself (this is still one of my favourite books though!) Inspector Morse, and Lewis' reaction to it 😢

I won't read Watership Down or Warhorse, but I know enough to be certain that I'd be sobbing for days with them 😭

Totally agree with Tess of durbervilles and I still Can’t bring myself to watch that last Morse episode

Mariam in A Thousand Splendid Sun's.... I knew it was coming, I knew one of them would end up in that horrendous unspeakable faith and from 1/3 into reading the book I cried till I finished.

Hedwig and Colin Creevy 'He was tiny in death'.

MrsAvocet · 07/09/2020 20:57

Will in Flambards. I was very young when I first read it and was heartbroken!

2Rebecca · 07/09/2020 20:58

The Little Mermaid, from the fairytale not Disney film. All other fairy tales lived happily ever after. In that one she died because she wouldn't kill her prince who fancied someone else more. A good life lesson though that women need more than beauty and you shouldn't give up your voice. Oh and handsome princes are fickle and not worth suffering for.

50shadesoflunacy · 07/09/2020 21:01

Ned Stark. I am still aggrieved. You just can't kill off Sean Bean!
Ser Barristan Selmy - I ugly cried at this
Tony Stark, sobbed in the cinema
Sirius
Dobby
Dumbledore
Lupin and Tonks

It's an odd one as he dies more than once, but the first time it sort of broke me. Archie Ferguson in 4,3,2,1. There are four different versions of his life which we read throughout the book, so it's in chapters like 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 etc. He's slightly different in each version of his life because each version of his life is slightly different.

It's one of the best books I've ever read.

mamabears3 · 07/09/2020 21:04

It was awful :-(

SallyCylicAcid · 07/09/2020 21:05

Mog

2Rebecca · 07/09/2020 21:05

Also the children in Jude the Obscure. Thomas Hardy was a sadist

SallyCylicAcid · 07/09/2020 21:05

Goodbye Mog

ErrolTheDragon · 07/09/2020 21:05

Ned Stark. I am still aggrieved. You just can't kill off Sean Bean!

Um... have you watched many things with Sean Bean in them? Grin

@Patbutcherismyhero

Can someone remind me what happened to Yvonne in Bad Girls. I seem to remember an underground tunnel or something similar but I can't remember the storyline.
She tried to escape through the underground tunnels leading to the disused hanging cell. Fenner followed her and as she got into the cell he locked it behind her, and she realised the other side where she had planned to escape had been blocked up Shock

"Don't bother screaming, Atkins, you might wanna save the oxygen." Eeeek.

She thought she was escaping and while Babs was getting married she went down to the old hanging cellar. Jim followed her and locked her in to die. All the prisoners thought she'd escaped. She tried to write Jim's name into the wall with her nails. I was only around 10 when I watched it and couldn't sleep for weeks!
FlorenceNightshade · 07/09/2020 21:13

@ChickenNugget86 same!!! The horrible realisation when she turns around that the tunnel is bricked up and the wall is right in front of her is chilling!!!

WildRosie · 07/09/2020 21:14

Stan Ogden. Hilda handled it with more grace and dignity than I.

CathyorClaire · 07/09/2020 21:16

Bambi's mum.

Gene Hunt. Actually all of them in Ashes to Ashes. One of the best endings ever.
