MTV
Here are 23 super-sad TV deaths that deserve more attention.
🚨🚨WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!🚨🚨
1.
On Criminal Minds, when Hotch’s wife, Haley, was murdered as she said her last words to him over the phone and everyone listened in:
CBS
2.
On ER, when Carter read the letter from Mark and everyone found out he was dead:
NBC
“What a soul crusher.”
3.
On The Haunting of Hill House, when Olivia was manipulated into thinking her kids were in danger and then killing herself:
Netflix
“That scene absolutely destroyed me.”
4.
On The Magicians, when Quentin sacrificed himself and his friends sang “Take on Me” to mourn him:
SyFy
“That song gets me every time.”
5.
When Laverne died on Scrubs — especially when Carla said goodbye:
NBC
“[It] kills me every time.”
6.
On Call the Midwife, when Barbara died after giving birth:
PBS
“The Christmas specials are almost always brutal to watch. The worst, of course, being the one when Barbara dies. I remember my mom watching that one at like midnight one night, and I woke up to the sound of her sobbing. I didn’t understand until I watched the show.”
7.
On Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., when Mack’s daughter faded out of existence in his arms:
ABC
9.
On Downton Abbey, when Sibyl died after it seemed she might pull through:
PBS
“I openly sobbed, which I never have for a show before, and for days felt like I was actually mourning someone and would think about the scene. It felt like an angel had left the world. [I] had to stop watching for a while.”
10.
On Rizzoli & Isles, when Detective Frost died after the actor died in real life:
TNT
“The episode of Rizzoli & Isles after Detective Frost dies. It has a moment where each character finally broke down and grieved. I lost it each time a character did. … It was even more heartbreaking knowing that the actor, Lee Thompson Young, had died in real life.”
12.
And also on Supernatural, when Sam died in Season 2:
The CW
“Sam’s first death in Season 2 gets me every time. Dean babbling about taking care of his pain-in-the-ass little brother is where I break.”
13.
On Money Heist, when Gandia shockingly shot Nairobi:
Netflix
“I cried like a baby. She died so horribly.”
14.
On Stranger Things, when fan favorite character Alexei was shot at the carnival after winning a stuffed animal:
Netflix
16.
On ER, when Lucy died after being attacked by a patient:
NBC
“While there are lots of heart-wrenching moments in 15 seasons of ER, one that sticks out to me is in Season 6, after Carter and Lucy are stabbed…Lucy seems to be pulling through, just to get a lung embolism shortly after. All of that is sad enough on its own, but it’s Romano’s reaction that really does me in. He’s always cold, rude, arrogant, and a huge ass, and you think he’s just going to shrug it off like, ‘well, these things happen, patients die’ after he tells Corday to stop shocking Lucy’s heart, but then he flips the instrument tray over and starts again because he doesn’t want to believe it’s the end.”
17.
On The West Wing, when Leo died right before he was elected vice president after the actor died in real life:
NBC
“How about the real-life death of Leo (John Spencer) on The West Wing? I found out for his funeral in real life, [Kristen] Chenoweth sang ‘For Good’ from Wicked; knowing that and her raw emotion of knowing he passed in the episode gets me every time.”
18.
On The 100, when Clarke finds Madi essentially dead:
The CW
“I also want to add the scene from Season 7 of The 100 when Clarke realizes Madi is gone and she’s holding her paralyzed body, crying ‘my baby, my baby.'”
19.
On NYPD Blue, when Bobby died after his heart transplant:
ABC
“[I] cried my eyes out.”
20.
On Dance Academy, when Sammy died suddenly:
ABC1
“Nothing breaks my heart quite like when Sammy in Dance Academy dies. He was doing so well and got everything he was working toward. But all of their reactions, especially after the next few episodes, hurt so bad.”
21.
And finally, on Farscape, when Aeryn died:
Sci-Fi Channel
“I just have to mention Farscape. The scenes where Aeryn died, and her funeral immediately following. Legitimately the only times I’ve shed tears over a fictional character. The whole sequence was so incredibly sudden and impactful. I applaud the entire team working on the show. Writers, directors, editors, and especially the actors. It was just…wow.”
