hafitalDay 29 - Saddest character death
Copyingkillabeez, since I don't particularly have a current television obsession at the moment, I'll answer this question first.
I thought of this all day yesterday, trying to decide my answer. I even did a search online for that others thought of as sad character deaths and found this intriguing list. (Mrs. Landingham! That was indeed very sad, although I didn't actually care for Pres. Bartlet's rant) I did some more poking around the internet, and found 3 or 4 recurring mentions, namely:
1. The death of Buffy's mom
2. Dr. Greene's death on ER
3. Charlie Pace's death on Lost
4. Denny's death on Grey's Anatomy
The mention of Maude Flander's death on The Simpsons is interesting. I guess all of the Flanders, while constantly ridiculed, are essentially without a drop of meanness in them, so I can see how affecting that would be.
After considerable thought, here is my list:
5. Bunny, Laura Ingall's horse on Little House in the Prairie (omg, don't laugh at me, it was VERY SAD)
4. Matthew Cuthbert, Anne of Green Gables
3. Hugh Fitzcairn, Highlander
2. Ryan Chappelle, 24
and a tie between Michelle Dressler on 24 and Sonny Steelgrave on Wiseguy.
sniff.
