A fictional character death you are still not over?

[OneUmberJoker]

Marley's in Marley and me

Wasn't that the whole point of lupin and tonks though? To show the absolute futility of war, that victory comes at a cost and also leaving an orphan so came full circle from harry.

Not saying it wasn't totally devastating, but think it feeling like unnecessary pain was purposefully done.

See also Walter Blythe in Rilla of Ingleside.

Well YES if you’re going to be all rational about it - but I HATED IT!! 😅😭

I was listening to this in an audiobook while at the gym and had to leave as I started getting upset

🤣 sorry! You're totally right though it was horrible, and stupid. Bleugh!

Some need to finish GOT ;)

Not a death but I never got over Troy Tempest not being a real man 🥺

Yes, Nigel; not only unnecessary but so artificial. Plus we all know that David shoved him off the roof, anyway. It marked the beginning of the end.

Snape
Sommersby

George from Greg’s Anatomy. 007

It's the woman who fell down the stairs in EastEnders for me. Laura? Pat found her. With all the big dramatic deaths in soaps that one seemed so mundane and sad. Has also made me be more careful on the stairs since forever.

Oh god yeah, Somersby! Cried all the way home from the cinema!

ChoCho San in Madame Butterfly.

Delighted someone else knows what I’m talking about!!

George!!!! 😫

The baby in “Under the Hawthorne Tree”. That book in general is so devastating

King Arthur in BBC's Merlin. I sobbed all night.

Nic Grundy, so sudden and unfair.

Oh goodness yes. I was utterly, utterly stunned by that as a teenager. First book where I’ve ever properly sobbed while reading it.

(It had been bad enough when Kevin died, but Diarmuid was another level!)

Mufasa

Hodge's wife in Criminal Minds
Tasha Yar Star Trek TNG
Colonal Henry Blake MASH
The Dr in Stargate SG1
Dean in Supernatural
The Little Match Girl

Apparently this was Girl on a Train.

OMG this. Although dare I say I had somewhat less sympathy for Richie after the reveal that he had continued to sleep with men after his diagnosis.

“Because we were too many” - Jude The Obscure

It was a bit of a crap story and all a bit daft with the impossibly long scream which I felt made it rather less devastating than some other deaths.
