Chris from Skins
Skins never shied away from killing off its characters, but one of the most harrowing deaths was that of Chris (Joe Dempsie) from Generation 1. Chris was a good-natured party guy who did his best to go with the flow. Right as he learned of his girlfriend’s pregnancy and attempted to get his life in order, he died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. So much lost potential.
Vanessa Ives from Penny Dreadful
When the tortured protagonist of Penny Dreadful met her maker in the Season 3 finale, the show followed along with her. Plagued by fallen angels seeking to her possess her body, Vanessa (Eva Green) persuaded Ethan (Josh Hartnett) to put an end to her suffering. The Showtime gothic horror show went to an early grave with Vanessa’s death, so fans had even more to grieve.
