Several in The Wire but possibly the worst was Wallace in Series One. He was played by a young Michael B Jordan who's now a huge star so it all worked out for him.  |

Heathcliffe and Cathy, couldn’t be together but couldn’t live without each other
More recently Ragnar & Lagatha’s deaths in Vikings, I cried buckets full for Ragnar 
Howard’s mum in BBT, the lady tho okayed her character actually passed away and you could see how deeply upset the cast were
Hodor in GOT, his life’s purpose was to hold that door at that moment |

Which deaths have stayed with you over time? "
Gordo from “For All Mankind”.
They just knew he was a fan favourite. Certainly mine. Still a great show, but wounded he won’t be in it anymore! |

I wasn’t mad keen on the Hank character but it was a shock when they killed him off! |

Andrea, and yes that was brutal. Also his previous girlfriend Jane who Walt could have saved. |

For me;
Hershel in The Walking Dead, just brutal and he was the glue holding Rick together at the time.
Hodor in Game of Thrones, the echoes from the past that broke his mind to hold the door… too soon, too soon |

For me it's not so much about the brutal deaths, or the shocking moments but what those deaths mean overall.
Game of thrones for example.
Ned Starks death is important obviously, but it was more of a plot device really. Lots of other characters just died, often for the same reason plot device.
BUT
Hodor. Hodor. Hodor Hodor Hodor. His death meant something, he died for something more than just shock, and more than just plot. Who he was as a character. His was one of the best written death scenes in any show on an individual character level. |

Lots mentioned already and both GoT and Walking Dead are very good at pulling off shocking deaths when you least expect them.
A couple from films that did for me though
Edward Delacroix - The Green Mile for the sheer brutality of it and how it was done
John Coffey - The Green Mile - just sad especially as you know his innocence
Ives - The Great Escape - can remember it shocking me as a kid
The escapees - The Great Escape - as above with Ives that end scene where they are bundled off the trucks and mown down had quite the impact on me as a kid.
Violette Szabo - Carve Her Name With Pride - another that shocked me when I saw it as a kid and still does now |

Mate, if that wasn't bad enough, she then went and married John Torrode (not on Spooks obviously! ) |

I agree with the Green Mile references, I cried when I read the book, cried even more at the film as he was accepting of his death, he’d had enough of this wicked world an all the wicked people in it |

Not me, but my daughter-
Was inconsolable at Mufasa's death in The Lion King. She was given the DVD one Christmas when she was little and watched it Christmas morning And howled!
Refused to watch it again until the live action film came out a couple of years ago!
For me it was Gladiator, and the other one was the last scene from BlackAdder set in WW1 where they go over the wall in the trenches at the end. Haunting and poignant. |

Years ago I had a similar experience with Bridge to Terabithia (sp), a deeply traumatic for all of us watching |

On the other hand, there is a kids film called My Spy, where David Bautista is trying to impress a woman and picks up this little pigeon off the ground and places it on a bin, only for a hawk to immediately swoop in and nab it!! Funny as fuck!! |

Actually Line Of Duty has thrown up some shockers...
Throat slitting of Jackie Laverty (Gina McKee) in Series 1 and John Corbett (Stephen Graham) in Series 5
Stepping into the path of a lorry - Tony Gates (Lennie James) in Series 1
Thrown out a window - Georgia Trotman (Jessica Raine) in Series 2
Am sure there were others too |

OK, technically they don't die as they are robots and only shutdown, but Wall-E and Short Circuit 2 for me produced some of the saddest, most poignant moments. Wall-E surprised me being not only are the protagonists robots but they are animated yet still moved a man who was on his late twenties to tears. |

Keeley Hawes. Shocking!
Oh, she was in the Casual Vacancy, and the death of Krystal in that broke my heart. So much crap to wade through, then she bloody dies trying to protect her brother. |
