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 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.

"Hey! Be careful out there."
Adriana is the standout from the Sopranos for me, too.
Sorry, but it was, "Let's be careful out there". We watched this religiously at the time. Esterhaus's death was a real, huge shock, second only to Henry Blake's in M*A*S*H. The difference here being that it was actually the actor who died.
There are many many deaths on greys anatomy you could use!!
Also, the secretary was Mrs Landingham wasn’t it? (And if so, why does my brain remember that??)
