Because books.

Ah, Henry Blake is taken.

One death that was really a shock and a heartbreaker for me was Adriana on The Sopranos.

Also, Mr. Hooper from Sesame Street is a great one, which someone (I forgot to reread!) mentioned above.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Maybe Tara from BTVS? Or Quentin on The Magicians?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Maybe Tara from BTVS? Or Quentin on The Magicians?

I think only one per show, so can't be Tara. Quentin is a good choice, as it kind of killed off the show as well.

Eva Green's Vanessa Ives on Penny Dreadful should count, right? A ruinous ending to a great show.

Oh, didn't John Ritter die while he was starring on a sitcom, mid-season?

I think that's right.

I don't know how the show dealt with it, but that's a significant loss.

Phil Esterhaus (Michael Conrad), Hill Street Blues.

I decided to do Vanessa Ives on Penny Dreadful.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Adriana is the standout from the Sopranos for me, too.
