A fictional character death you are still not over?

[OneUmberJoker]

Marley's in Marley and me

This one isn’t fictional (despite what lowlifes on Facebook would have you believe) but this thread reminded me, I first read the Diary of Anne Frank before I knew she died in the Holocaust. I will never forget the stark shock of that note at the end.

Ginger in Black Beauty This haunts me 30 years after reading the book.
Also Bruno from 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'

daenerys targaryen

Oh there's so many isn't there! definitely Ginger and Bruno.and ned stark.

Elvis in Our Girl

Tara McLay

OMG yes, the whole series affected me. Brody’s death and the scene where they were in the car, Quinn driving and were surrounded by a mob. One was dragged out and beaten. I still have nightmares and don’t like driving though crowds….

Nighteyes in Robin Hobb's Fitz and the Fool series, his death is almost understated which is why it hits so hard 😭

Tris from Divergent (the books, not the movies version).
Snape from Harry Potter
Prim Everdeen from The hunger games

opie in sons of anarchy, that was so brutal. Jax’s also made me cry for probably an hour after the episode finished but he wasn’t such a good egg as opie so it didn’t feel quite so cruel.

Richard Hillman in Corrie 🤣🤣

I took the then 7 year old DS and his best pal to see that at the cinema. We all left feeling devastated, quite spoiled the weekend.

Emma in One Day.

Oh and Matthias in the Shadow and Bone / Six of Crows world. Both the book and the tv series, altho the two differed a lot.

Henchard in The Mayor of Casterbridge. I was sort of in love with him as a kid.

Nana in Royle Family but even before she died singing Que sera sera with Barbara had me in floods.
Jon Snow in GOT
Most of After Life knowing Lisa was dead.

Captain Vain from Black Sails

In the Book Thief, the character of Death tells you that the wee German boy dies but it was still a shock when it happened.

Emma from One Day 🥲

Wash in Firefly (hope this isn't a massive spoiler, it's been years)
Kai in Lexx (he started the series off by dying)
Fred in Angel (she may still have been walking around, but it wasn't her)

and Granny Weatherwax, of course.

Oh yes this totally blindsided me!

I loved ER, would have said mark greene too but I notice PPs saying lucy from ER too. Why can’t I remember Lucy 🤯

also Will from the good wife

Granny Weatherwax

The Home Secretary (think that was her role) in Bodyguard.

Toby Wren in Doomwatch. You'd have to be pretty old (as am I) to know what the hell I'm talking about.
