A fictional character death you are still not over?

[OneUmberJoker]

Marley's in Marley and me

The dog and Lenny in Of Mice and Men. The wife in Up.

For some reason when I was a kid I watched the King and I on VHS at my nana’s house. I managed to hold it together for the rest of the day and then after going to bed stayed up a while to cry my eyes out. Was Yul Bruner any good in the role? (I’m 37 so it was a while ago). I guess he must have been.

Agree with others about Zach and baby Trudy from Goodnight Mr Tom.

Plato, from Rebel Without a Cause—perhaps unforgettable because of its eerie foreshadowing of James Dean’s own fate, a life cut short and left unrealised.

Most of all: Yuri Zhivago. That one is a choker.

Balthazar the spaniel in the book of The Forsyte Saga.

And in the TV adaptation.

Also - the death of Soames Forsyte in the very last episode of The Forsyte Saga. It broke me.

Anna in My Sister’s Keeper

Arthur from the Merlin TV series and not ashamed to admit it!

As I recall, that happened the day after Matthew was killed in Downton Abbey. My mother was a fan of both and she said what miserable Christmas viewing it made!

Mr Big

Glen, by Negan, in the Walking Dead. Shocking scene.

Lee Scorseby and Hester from The Subtle Knife:

'Hester, don't you go before I do," Lee whispered. "Lee, I couldn't abide to be anywhere away from you for a single second," she whispered back. Lee saw the fireball and heard through the roar in his ears Hester saying, "That's all of 'em, Lee." He said, or thought, "Those poor men didn't have to come to this, nor did we." She said, "We held 'em off. We held out. We're a-helping Lyra." Then she was pressing her little proud broken self against his face as close as she could get, and then they died'.

Absolutely devastated still.

James Bond.

Matthew in Anne of Green Gables
Sybil and Matthew in Downton Abbey
Mark and Lexie in Greys Anatomy

Littlefoot's mother in The Land Before Time

Glen in The Walking Dead It put me right off Jeffrey Dean Morgan for a while which was ridiculous because I knew it was fiction.

Jack in This Is Us although we know he's dead from the first episode -the actual death was no less heartbreaking.

Maybe you have a thing for Anthony Edwards!

Ruth from Ozark.

No one’s mentioned Nigel in The Archers totally unnecessary and unlikely it’s never been the same since.
Also poor Fatboy in Eastenders suffered from claustrophobia and met his end being locked in a car boot then sent to the crusher. I imagined his anguish for ages.

Tara from Sons of Anarchy
Captain Sheridan B5
Charles Tucker the third - Trip from Enterprise

@Andthatrightsoon . I too am devastated. What a terrible, terrible piece of writing!

Diarmuid - The Fionavar Tapestry trilogy

Wash. Serenity. 🍂 💨

Oh yes, poor Nigel. I stopped listening soon after.

Derek in greys anatomy - the soundtrack lives with me forever
Denny and George also really hurt - and April and Jackson’s baby 😭
Sybil and Matthew in Downton too
Poussey and Doggett in Orange is the new black - I just rewatched recently and it physically hurt I was sobbing so much

The rabbits in Watership Down that didn’t make it

Bambi's mum 😢

Hank from Breaking Bad. My husband had to tell me to get over it 😄

Logan Echolls from Veronica Mars
