You'll Never Recover from These Seriously Devastating TV Character Deaths

Mrs. Landingham from The West Wing

Since he was a little boy, Mrs. Landingham (Kathryn Joosten) had always been a loyal supporter of President Bartlet. Her cynicism, dry humor, and general distaste for the theatrical nature of politics kept Bartlet in line, even from his seat in the oval office. Mrs. Landingham was a real one until the very end; she was killed in Season 2 on the way to show the President her new car. 

Lori Grimes from The Walking Dead

Fans of the Robert Kirkman comic already knew that Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies) wouldn’t be a permanent fixture on The Walking Dead, but the way she died in Season 3 was still brutal as ever. Lori asked Maggie (Lauren Cohan) to perform an emergency C-section after experiencing complications during labor, despite knowing that it would be agonizingly painful and also result in her death. Not only did Lori’s departure further establish that The Walking Dead universe spares no one, but it also delivered an extra punch when her son Carl (Chandler Riggs) had to shoot his own mom in the head to prevent her from turning into a zombie.
