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

Bobby Singer from Supernatural

After losing both of their parents, the only family Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) had left was their “Uncle” Bobby (Jim Beaver). After getting shot in the head, Bobby refused to pass over to the other side because he knew how much the Winchesters depended on him. In the end, Bobby became a Vengeful Spirit, which made his second death even more painful. Bobby’s only advice to his beloved nephews before departing: move on when the time comes.

Tara Maclay from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Their romance was an establishing force for lesbian representation on television. However, shortly after the two settled their differences, Tara was struck by a stray bullet. Tara’s death outraged fans and ruined Willow, who ended up trying to end the world.
