Gary Mendez – A Million Little Issues
It was tough going into A Million Little Issues Season 5, figuring out Gary would most likely die from most cancers, however we weren’t ready for a lot his dying damage. The final two episodes of Season 5 had been the toughest, figuring out that Gary would not survive and that he and Maggie had been on borrowed time. We had been all sobbing as Gary requested Eddie and Rome to assist him finish his life. Seeing Gary say goodbye to his family members made it actual.
Gary had been the center and soul of the sequence, so it damage to lose him.
2.
Will Gardner – The Good Spouse
As it’s with lots of the deaths on this checklist, it is not a lot crying in regards to the dying itself that occurs throughout these episodes, however it was unimaginable to not cry watching Diane and Kalinda coping with the melee on the courthouse and attempting to get in contact with Alicia. Will’s physique on the desk, figuring out nothing may very well be performed. It was all horrific and surprising.
3.
Joyce Summers – Buffy the Vampire Slayer
This dying occurred identical to in actual life. It was fully surprising. There weren’t bullets or vampires. Joyce thought she was doing wonderful, however succumbed to a mind tumor whereas at residence alone on the couch. Buffy walked into the surreal scenario, and we received to see a woman who is generally surrounded by dying completely floored by the fact of somebody near her dying of pure causes. “The Physique” stays my favourite episode of the sequence.
4.
Nate Fisher – Six Ft Underneath
Nate had a mind drawback known as AVM. He had it below management, and had simply had surgical procedure even, making certain he was effectively. However he died resulting from post-op problems. Um. NO! That does not occur to our favourite tv characters. That is too actual. However coming from a present about dying, would we anticipate much less? The funeral afterward was one other sucker punch. After all, this was earlier than we knew the finale was coming and we might by no means hear Sia once more with out crying softly (or closely).
5.
Mark Greene – ER
Mark Greene suffered from most cancers for a very long time earlier than he died, and his daughter was actually struggling as effectively. He determined to spend the tip of his life tring to make hers higher by taking her to Hawaii the place he grew up. Rachel ultimately calls Elizabeth to return assist her with him and whereas his household is on the seaside and life carries on and he listens to that rattling sappy model of Someplace Over the Rainbow, he dies. Significantly, reliving these on YouTube is killing me!
6.
Poussey Washington – Orange Is the New Black
Lengthy earlier than this brutal sort of killing was realized in our on a regular basis lives, Poussey Washington misplaced her life whereas standing up for injustices in jail. It was a violent and crushing dying on the floor and in how fellow inmates and viewers responded to it. The present wished to make clear on a regular basis injustices in prisons and by cops on the black neighborhood, they usually succeeded. It is simply too dangerous it did not have the specified results to result in precise change.
7.
Peter III – The Nice
The Nice could be very evenly based mostly on historical past, however the one factor we knew could not final was the wedding between Peter III and Catherine II. Frankly, we by no means anticipated to fall for the couple in any respect. Our Catherine and Peter had a love-hate relationship that we could not assist however root for, regardless that it was the very definition of poisonous. So it was fairly shocking when simply moments after declaring his enduring love for Catherine (when he was defying her direct orders), Peter fell by the ice and died, leaving Catherine gasping for air on the shock of it. Her response was visceral and heartbreaking, which made the dying all of the more practical to propelling her story ahead.
8.
Allison Argent – Teen Wolf
Allison returned from the lifeless in Teen Wolf: The Film, however that does not get rid of how we felt about her dying when it occurred. Again then, it appeared like one thing was off with Allison lengthy earlier than she died in a season that threatened to kill off one of many primary characters. No person anticipated it to be Allison or Scott. They’ll discover their approach again to one another! Effectively, in her last moments, as she lay dying in his arms, she did inform Scott he was the one man she ever actually beloved. One other actually stunning second. The tighter lid they carry on the story, the extra emotional the loss.
9.
George O-Malley – Gray’s Anatomy
Oh man. George made a significant determination, to hitch the Military and do his doctoring there. So OF COURSE no person would acknowledge him when a heroic man in uniform who had simply been dragged by a bus after stepping in entrance of it to save lots of a pedestrian was rushed in, barely alive. However once they figured it out? Holy tears batman. Sob a lot?
10.
Charlie Tempo – Misplaced
Charlie had such a beautiful journey as a personality on Misplaced, which made watching him settle for a suicide mission horrible to look at. Though Desmond already noticed it occur in a imaginative and prescient, it was doable to vary the endings of them earlier than, so we hoped Charlie’s destiny would change, as effectively. As a substitute, he saved everybody, and drowned after giving Desmond a message on his hand. Intestine-wrenching!
11.
Lt. Colonel Henry Blake – M*A*S*H
All people wished to get away from the battle. Their ticket residence was the one factor all of them agreed upon was one of the best factor that might occur to them. So there have been completely satisfied faces and tears of pleasure that shortly turned to tears of sorrow when Henry Blake’s helicopter was shot down on his approach residence. So unfair!!!
12.
Logan Roy – Succession
Logan Roy’s dying was a shocking growth on its floor, however beneath that floor, it made excellent sense because the sequence rocketed towards a conclusion. The premise was all the time to search out his successor, no matter that is likely to be, and let’s face it, Logan wasn’t such an excellent man that he wanted to outlive to the tip. An awesome character, sure, however certainly one of poor character, as it might be. What made this dying unhappy was how his youngsters dealt with it as the good man left the earth not surrounded lovingly by household however on a enterprise journey on the day of his eldest son’s marriage ceremony. His youngsters lived in his usually darkish shadow, however they felt the enormity of the loss earlier than they may even perceive what it meant.
13.
Paul Hennessey – 8 Easy Guidelines
When John Ritter died instantly in actual life on the age of 54, the 8 Easy Guidelines character did as effectively, whereas shopping for milk. All the solid cried all through the episode, and figuring out they had been actually lacking their pal and father determine make the scenes all of the extra coronary heart wrenching. John Ritter was beloved by all of us as a lot as by them, too. A final article written by the character about his youngsters solely elevated the sobs.
14.
Billy Baker – All American
It broke our hearts when Billy Baker died on All American Season 5 Episode 11. He went out a hero saving Jabari from a bus accident. Because it was sudden, nobody received to say goodbye, which made it tough for the Bakers and Spencer to grieve. Spencer was particularly crammed with guilt since he and Billy had been arguing when Billy died. As his household started to maneuver on, Billy’s presence lives on inside his household, and he’ll be perpetually missed. He had been the patriarch of the sequence, and there’s a gaping gap from his absence.
15.
Lucy Knight – ER
When Carter was stabbed by a lunatic within the ER, as he fell to the ground he noticed his pal, Lucy, was already bleeding on the ground. Whereas Carter made it, Lucy did not. It was fairly tough on your complete ER as a result of she was beloved by all. No, it did not assist figuring out Kellie Martin wished to go away the present. Not one bit.
16.
Juliet Burke – Misplaced
Let’s be sincere, Sawyer did not begin out because the romantic hero, however that is positive how he ended up, and he paid the horrible worth of getting the love of his life dying in his arms after she fell down into the outlet with the bomb they had been attempting to set off. He heard her down there, alive, and dug his method to her. First she stated to him what they will say when the bear in mind one another within the afterlife. Simply wow. Then she requested him to kiss her, then stated she had one thing actually necessary to inform him and died in his arms. It is much more highly effective watching it once more!
17.
Gabriel Reyes – 9-1-1: Lone Star
Within the sequence’ supersized season 4 finale, what ought to’ve been a cheerful celebration of affection as Carlos and T.Okay. ready for his or her marriage ceremony took an completely stunning flip when, mere hours after Carlos requested his father to be his Finest Man, the Reyes Patriarch was gunned down at his doorstep.
And worst but, because it stands, there is no such thing as a rhyme, cause, or solutions to who’s behind the mindless homicide.
With one grooming tragically shedding his mom a yr prior, a marriage was marred by tragedy, and one of the vital compelling characters and father/son relationships on the sequence got here to an in depth in a most devastating style, altering the trajectory of this sequence and Carlos’ arc for seasons to return.
18.
Sybil Crawley – Downton Abbey
Sybil’s child wasn’t being born correctly, and in the event that they did not do one thing quickly, she was going to die. Effectively, guess what? She died!

All as a result of he wished to stay with the old style practices. Sybil delivered her youngster, and everybody thought all was effectively. Solely later her well being deteriorated, and she or he was gone. It was surprising and stunning.
19.
Bobby Simone – NYPD Blue
The precise dying scene of Bobby Simone on NYPD Blue was stunning, filled with significant touches and ideas as he got here nearer and nearer to dying after affected by a bacterial an infection that went to his mind resulting from problems after a coronary heart transplant. He cried as he got here to 1 extra time befor his las breath and so did we.
20.
Zeek Braverman – Parenthood
We nearly all the time anticipated Zeek would die earlier than the sequence concluded, however they dragged his life out to the bitter finish, permitting him to stay to see his grandchild born and begin planning a trip with Millie. That was the kicker. You simply knew he would not make it then. So when he died in his chair, it felt too everlasting. No Parenthood reunion present or film would ever be the identical as a result of Zeek was the center of the present. Spreading his ashes? Goodness.
21.
Lexie Gray – Gray’s Anatomy
Airplane crash on Gray’s and the physique rely rises. Mark declares his love for Lexie, who solely needs him to carry her hand whereas she goes. As a substitute, he tells her how fantastic their lives can be when the tip up collectively. They’re meant to be. And she or he simply slips away. Oh for God’s sake!

22.
Seymour Asses – Futurama
Fry discovered stray canine Seymour they usually turned greatest buddies. When Fry was accidententally cryogenically frozen, Seymour tried to get Fry’s household to know what occurred. After they did not, he spent the subsequent 12 years in a single place, simply ready for Fry to return again. Then he died. The zinger? Fry got here out of it and had the prospect to clone Seymour, however stopped simply quick. Why? As a result of he realized Seymour lived 12 extra years with out him and did not suppose it was honest to try this to his pal, who had shared a beautiful and full life with out him, forgetting all about him whereas he was gone. See the irony there? There was no person to inform him Seymour’s total life was spent ready for the pal he beloved a lot and he would have given something to see Fry once more. Oh. I am sobbing simply fascinated by it once more!
23.
Mr. Hooper – Sesame Road
For lots of thirty somethings, Mr Hooper was their first publicity to dying. Actor Will Lee’s passing hit the Sesame Road household arduous, however the writers determined to make use of it as a teachable second and never dodge the difficulty of dying. Utilizing Huge Hen as a surrogate for youths, the grieving solid members gently attempt to clarify dying the the six foot tall 4 yr previous. Huge Hen’s confusion, anger, and unhappiness nonetheless resonate. We dare you to look at that scene and never get just a little choked up.
24.
Jamie Whelan – Regulation & Order: Organized Crime
When Whelan first joined the Organized Crime Unit, he was a spitfire — a mini-Stabler that did his personal factor and prompted as many issues as he solved. We had been trying ahead to what he would possibly turn into below Stabler’s tutelage, however he by no means received that probability. Minutes after bantering with Reyes about his trip plans that had been interrupted by this case, Whelan was shot within the neck. In brief order, he practically bled out, realized he was paralyzed, and begged to die earlier than getting his want. If that wasn’t devastating sufficient, the group’s responses had been painful, particularly Jet’s. Whelan was the second man she beloved this season and her surprised silence when she realized that Whelan was gone broke our hearts.
25.
Captain Liam Shaw – Star Trek: Picard
Shaw’s introduction as captain of the USS Titan led us to imagine he’d be an impediment at greatest, and a villain at worst. His refusal of Picard and Riker’s name to journey, his apparent prejudice in direction of Seven’s Borg historical past, and his lower than exemplary dinner manners pointed the best way to an officious, bigoted, uncouth stick-in-the-mud, an actual celebration pooper.
So how superb is it that he developed in Season 3’s hottest non-TNG character? He proved to be a gifted engineer, a staunch battle companion, and a clear-sighted choose of character. We realized how he lived together with his survivor’s guilt from Wolf 359, worshiped Commodore La Forge, and by no means misplaced contact together with his Chicago roots.
His dying could have been telegraphed from early scenes, however that doesn’t detract from its tragedy. Passing the torch to Seven on the sector of battle solely cements the person’s legacy as a pacesetter of price whose solely hope was to captain his ship in a secure and smart method.
26.
Amber Volakis – Home
Amber was a extremely sturdy character and an excellent foil for Home. Though she does not find yourself working with Home, she turns into concerned with Wilson and finally ends up as a affected person of Home’s when she is poisoned with Flu medicine resulting from dangerous kidneys after a bus accident her and Home had been in. It was like a “Wilson cannot have good issues” situation when she died in his arms. Wilson was gutted and we had been for him.
27.

AMC’s zombie epic wrapped up on a hopeful notice after 11 seasons, however there was an enormous dying within the type of Rosita Espinoza.
