A fictional character death you are still not over?

[OneUmberJoker]

Marley's in Marley and me

Yes Nighteyes, nothing has stayed with me as much.

Horrific.

I've never been so shocked by a 19th century novel!

Of course Snape also

Oh yes. Poor poor Hester (and Lee of course, but mostly Hester). Now I'm upset all over again 😭

Katherine from The English Patient

Eustacia Vye

Lifelong massive Pratchett fan. I bought The Shepherd's Crown on the day it was published. It's still in the cellophane wrapper. I just can't bring myself to open it 😕

Colin Creevey 'He was tiny in death'.

Gutting.

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel I've not read that. It's now on my to read list 🙂

Oh God yes, I can't watch/read it

I still feel really sad whenever I think of that baby. Bridget.

Meg from Home and Away, I'm talking 35 years ago.
As pp said Its a sin, havent been able to rematch it.

Oh God, yes. Gerry. Why?! 😫

oh God yes - I was coming on to say that! It was the very first time in my experience that the hero did not turn out to be OK after the cliffhanger. Season 2 started and I hoped it would open with him emerging from the water, having jumped before the bomb went off.

Having said that - my mother always said she'd never seen me look so shocked as when the bomb went off.... She used to hide in the kitchen during most of doom watch, especially the super rats episode......

Tiffany Mitchell in EastEnders (ruined my New Year) and Barbara in Call the Midwife , I thought she was going to alright 😥

I am loving the 'Hardyness' on this thread tonight. I agree - and without spoilers, the fact she wasn't alone. (One of the best endings to a book I have ever read.)

I think she is my favourite heroine of all time.

Will in the Good Wife.

James Bond

ET

Matthew in Downton Abbey

Big in SATC. I couldn't breathe watching that the first time round

Ye gods, I could do with a good cry, that's my weekend sorted 😭

Assumpta in Ballykissangel. Just when she and Father Peter were finally going to head off into the sunset together. I cried for days.

Charlie's Dad - Jack Frost 😭

Cathy from Wuthering heights

Jenny in Forest Gump

Ben Solo

It's cold, dark and pissing down with rain so it makes sense that the Hardy people are out in force. Agree with you on both counts - she is a fascinating heroine.

Shireen from Game of Thrones TV. (I don't think the scene is in any of the books.) By the end, I would have had her parents and Melisandre torn apart by wild horses (though off-screen) and given a lifetime of upturned Lego at 7am to the writers. Completely unforgivable.

Edward Casaubon, Middlemarch. He's not a nice man or a decent husband. His sweet young wife deserves better. But he's lonely and sad and he dies not knowing how lucky he is to have her. Poor man.

Jacob Armitage, Children of the New Forest. He's a dear, good soul...and he's all those children have.

Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones
