Sometimes, TV characters are written off in tragic ways due to real-life circumstances. Join us as we look at times when TV shows had to write off characters because the actor passed away. From "Family Guy" to "Riverdale", we're exploring the stories behind these on-screen farewells and the impact they had on the shows and their fans. These departures remind us of the human element behind our favorite characters and the talented actors who brought them to life. These tributes allowed both the characters to rest easy and the actors to be remebered.

00:00Weird, isn't it? People are here one minute, and then they're not.
00:05Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're looking at times when characters had to die because the actor did.
00:10Big Bird, don't you remember we told you? Mr. Hooper died.
00:16Beware of spoilers.
00:18Angela, Family Guy.
00:19Angela fits right into Family Guy's chaos as Peter's tough-as-nails supervisor.
00:24Someone had to keep Peter in line, or at least try to. That person was Angela.
00:27I wanted to tell you that Opie will not be receiving Employee of the Month, because he's being promoted!
00:33Oh yes, that means I'm Employee of the Month!
00:35No, you're not, Griffin. I'm giving it to Soundwave.
00:38So I can just put my stuff anywhere?
00:40Sometimes she was his other time she was a woman weirdly into him, or simply someone who wanted him dead.
00:45Classic Family Guy, right?
00:47Yeah, this is gonna work out just fine.
00:53Excuse me?
00:54Played by Carrie Fisher. Yep, Princess Leia herself.
00:57Angela's deadpan delivery was the perfect contrast to the show's over-the-top humor.
01:01Sadly, after Fisher passed in 2016, Angela had to also die off-screen.
01:05But the show didn't let her go without a moment.
01:07Peter delivers a surprisingly heartfelt eulogy that might have you tearing up.
01:11She had grace, courage, and an unmatched zest for life.
01:16She may be gone, but her voice will live on in DVD and Hulu Plus and tiny droid-projected messages.
01:23I may have lost a boss, but heaven has gained a princess.
01:30Judge Dennis, Ally McBeal
01:32Judge Dennis, aka Happy, wasn't a main character, but he definitely added some spice to this legal drama.
01:38This grumpy old judge occasionally gave Ally a hard time in court, and honestly, it pushed her to grow more.
01:43Anyone who remembers him knows one thing for sure, he doesn't mess around when it comes to personal care.
01:48Let me see your teeth.
01:51I beg your pardon?
01:52Hygiene is important to this court. Show me your teeth.
02:01Okay. Court costs annuable me. Have him work out of schedule with probation.
02:05Sadly, Judge Dennis' time on the show is short.
02:08In the second season's seventh episode, he suddenly dies while in court.
02:11The reason?
02:12Phil Leeds, the beloved actor behind the role, had died from pneumonia in 1998.
02:16The show has just enough existing footage to craft a fitting end that matched the quirky tone.
02:21Despite being brief, it's a heartfelt farewell to a scene-stealing legend.
02:24The man lying there.
02:27Show him your teeth.
02:28Yes!
02:31Ella Mae Farmer, The District.
02:34Here, Lynn Thigpen doesn't play an angry parent who goes up against Morgan Freeman like she did in Lean on Me.
02:39Instead, she takes on the role of Ella Mae Farmer, a crime analyst known for her integrity, intelligence, and unwavering sense of justice.
02:46I thought you said you didn't have the money to have these cars dressed up.
02:50I got creative.
02:52These are the chop shop suspects. What are they doing out?
02:55Community service.
02:57I made a deal with the assistant U.S. attorney.
02:59Thigpen's portrayal brought warmth and depth to the role, giving Ella a commanding presence that was widely praised.
03:05Her death from a cerebral hemorrhage in 2003 hit pretty hard.
03:08Both on and off screen, many felt the series had lost a vital part.
03:13The series didn't shy away from the loss.
03:15In the episode titled Ella Mae, writers gave her a stirring farewell,
03:18with characters like Chief Jack Mannion and others visibly shaken, just like the viewers at home.
03:23I never believed in pure goodness until my first day on the job.
03:29The day we met.
03:37God, just...
03:39There's so much of my heart that's gone.
03:42Lenny Briscoe, Law & Order Franchise
03:44Played by Jerry Orbach, Lenny Briscoe is a beloved character on Law & Order.
03:48With his sarcastic wit and world-weary charm at crime scenes,
03:51Briscoe felt more human and relatable than most TV detectives.
03:54Also, beneath the one-liners was a deeper character, a man with alcohol use disorder and a flawed father.
03:59I called the station, they told me it was your day off, so I figured,
04:02hey, some of my best memories are picking up your winnings at OTV.
04:07I was a hell of a daddy.
04:10You were fine.
04:12When I could stand up.
04:13Briscoe stuck around for 12 seasons, which speaks volumes about how central he was in the franchise's legacy.
04:19When he died from prostate cancer in 2004, it felt like the show's soul left with him.
04:2325 years of joy.
04:25Till death did them part.
04:27The seasoned detective made his final appearance in Law & Order, Trial by Jury.
04:31Though a memorial was planned, it was never shown.
04:33Instead, his absence is simply acknowledged when his former partner is later mentioned he's gone.
04:37We're losing a lot of people, Lou.
04:38I talked to Lenny a few days before the end, and he was still cracking jokes.
04:48Good old Lenny.
04:50J.R. Ewing, Dallas.
04:52It's no exaggeration to call J.R. Ewing one of TV's greatest characters.
04:55Played by Larry Hagman, this ruthless oil tycoon was the kind of character people love to hate.
05:00Don't forgive and don't forget.
05:02And do unto others before they do unto you.
05:05And most especially, keep your eye on your friends, because your enemies take care of themselves.
05:10He lied, schemed, and even betrayed family members just to stay on top.
05:13Yet fans couldn't just get enough of him.
05:15Indeed, his presence made Dallas unforgettable.
05:18Who could forget the Who Shot J.R. Cliffhanger?
05:20One of TV's most watched events that cemented his legacy.
05:23But when the 2012 Revival series came around, things took a somber turn.
05:27J.R. was shot again, this time for good.
05:29Viewers are made to believe he was killed by an unknown assassin, but in reality, it was Hagman's death that ended his story.
05:35I don't want it to be true.
05:38But it is.
05:40My brother is dead.
05:45And so now, I have to figure out just what I'm supposed to do.
05:49Glenn Carter.
05:50The Blacklist.
05:51Only a few people can drive Raymond Reddington completely insane and get away with it.
05:55Glenn Carter was at the top of that list.
05:57A DMV employee by day and Raymond's part-time tracker, Glenn helped Red locate what or whoever needed to be found.
06:03I don't have time.
06:04And yet you've had me waiting out there for over 45 minutes.
06:08Do you know the vending machine is broken?
06:10It's as if you enjoy making people miserable.
06:13I work at the DMV!
06:15Though he was stubborn, petty, and painfully slow, he somehow got the job done.
06:19And Raymond respected him for it.
06:21He truly brought the kind of humor that was rare in the Blacklist's high-stakes world.
06:24When Glenn died in season 8, it wasn't just the loss of Raymond's dear friend.
06:28It was a heartfelt tribute to Clark Middleton, the actor who portrayed him.
06:31Sadly, both the character and actor passed away from the West Nile virus.
06:35No matter how hard or unfair life was to Glenn, Glenn loved life back.
06:44Andrew Campbell.
06:45Mad Men.
06:46During his short time on Mad Men, Andrew Campbell left quite a poor impression.
06:50He was the kind of father no son would want, especially not Pete.
06:54Distant and dismissive, he looked down on his son's profession.
06:56There's a lot more to it than that.
06:58Hmm.
06:59Advertising.
07:00Really?
07:02See, if someone were to tell me there's a lot more to the law, I'd believe them.
07:08I can't explain how business works to you.
07:10In season 2, Andrew abruptly dies in a plane crash, a fittingly impersonal end for a Colt character who kept everyone at arm's length.
07:18But off-screen, the reason was far more tragic.
07:20His death reflects the real-life loss of actor Christopher Alport, who passed away in an avalanche in 2008.
07:25The writers wove this loss naturally into the show, giving Pete a lot to think about,
07:30though the real-life tragedy had come without warning.
07:32When I woke up, I felt fine for a minute.
07:37Then I remembered.
07:40You should be thinking about the good times.
07:45Right.
07:46Richard Gilmore.
07:46Gilmore Girls.
07:47A year in the life.
07:48Let's be sincere.
07:49This heartwarming comedy-drama wouldn't have felt the same without Richard Gilmore.
07:53Portrayed by Edward Herman, he was an important figure in both Lorelei's and Rory's lives.
07:57Sure, his old-school ways often clashed with Lorelei's choices, but beneath that exterior was a man who cared for his child.
08:03Plus, he was a truly doting grandfather to Rory and grew even more lovable as the show progressed.
08:08All right, who's next?
08:10Paris giving you any trouble?
08:11Not any more than usual.
08:12However, there is a girl in my modern poetry class who keeps kicking my chin.
08:17Ah, I do love this place.
08:19Right back at you, Grandpa.
08:20While he survives a heart attack in the original show, Richard is nowhere to be found in the 2016 miniseries.
08:26In fact, his death kicks off an entire story arc since Herman passed away in 2014.
08:30To honor him, the writers included a heartfelt funeral, paying their last respects to a beloved figure.
08:35Bye-bye.
08:38Bye-bye.
08:42Bye-bye.
08:46Bye-bye.
08:47Bye-bye.
08:50One of his favorites.
08:53A classic for a classic.
08:55You're here.
08:55Dr. Charles Kroger, Monk.
08:58When you're a Sherlock-level detective with a host of phobias and extreme anxiety, you need someone like Dr. Kroger in your corner.
09:04Brought to life by Stanley Camel, Dr. Kroger is Monk's longtime psychiatrist and essentially his emotional lifeline.
09:10Their therapy sessions gave viewers a deeper look into Monk's mind and were often as touching as they were funny.
09:15You know, you've been stuck at square one for a long time.
09:19I hate square one.
09:20Well then, let me be the first to say, welcome to square two.
09:24How many squares are there?
09:27We'll just take it one step at a time.
09:29What square is Harold on?
09:30Doesn't matter.
09:31I understand.
09:32Unfortunately, after the show's break between season six and seven, Monk's emotional anchor was gone forever.
09:37What happened?
09:38Camel died of a heart attack in 2008, and the character had to go in a similar fashion.
09:42It wasn't only Monk who was shaken by this development.
09:45Fans were heartbroken too.
09:46Honestly, losing Kroger felt like losing a piece of the show's heart.
09:49The man saved my life.
09:51You didn't know me before, Dr. Kroger.
09:53I mean, I was a little messed up.
09:56You know, he wasn't just a therapist.
09:59He was...
10:02He was Dr. Kroger.
10:05Gramps.
10:06Lassie.
10:06Many today might not remember this 1954 series about the heroic collie dog named Lassie and her human companions.
10:12But for those who grew up with Lassie, they'll never forget Gramps, played by George Cleveland.
10:17All right, Porky.
10:18Throw me a couple.
10:19Are you a knuckleball artist or a speed merchant?
10:21I just close my eyes and let go.
10:23If I'm lucky, the ball gets to the plate.
10:25That's the kind of a pitcher I like.
10:27No one embodied a sense of family more than this caring grandpa.
10:31Not only was Gramps there for the boy and the dog, he anchored the show with old school wisdom and a kind of warmth that was unforgettable.
10:37Then suddenly, Gramps was gone.
10:39But it wasn't an intentional move to kill off the character.
10:41Cleveland had died of a heart attack during production, so the show had no choice but to bring Gramps' story to an end as well.
10:48I don't suppose you've had time to think about what you're going to do with the farm.
10:51Oh, no.
10:52Frankly, Jenny, it all happens a sudden.
10:54Of course.
10:55Peter Gregory.
10:56Silicon Valley.
10:57A major character in the first season of Silicon Valley, Peter Gregory was a socially awkward tech investor hoping to get a piece of Pied Piper.
11:04I'm paying you $200,000 for 5%, yet you're giving this man twice that in exchange for a futon and some sandwiches?
11:14He was played by Christopher Evan Welsh, who was unfortunately taken from us at a relatively young age.
11:19Welsh was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2010 and passed away three years later at the age of 48.
11:24He died on December 2, 2013, four months before Silicon Valley premiered on HBO.
11:30Come back in 48 hours with an airtight business plan, a clear go-to-market strategy, and a three-year summary P&L, or there will be no check!
11:40Welsh was about midway through filming the first season, having completed five of its eight episodes.
11:45It was later explained that Peter Gregory died while on a trip to the Serengeti.
11:48Peter Gregory is dead.
11:51What?
12:00Holy shit!
12:02Sergeant Phil Esterhaus, Hill Street Blues.
12:04A highly acclaimed police drama, Hill Street Blues was way ahead of its time and is regarded as a predecessor to the prestige cable dramas of the 2000s.
12:13Michael Conrad played Sergeant Phil Esterhaus, known for his iconic catchphrase,
12:16Let's be careful out of it.
12:19Conrad won two Emmys for Outstanding Supporting Actor before passing away in November 1983 from urethral cancer.
12:26Off the record, you promised me you'd be careful out there, but you weren't.
12:30That goes double for me, Frank.
12:31Conrad was 58 years old, and the show was in the middle of its fourth season.
12:35Esterhaus was subsequently killed off, but not how you may think.
12:38Rather than going out in a blaze of glory, he dies while making love.
12:42Phil Esterhaus passed away this morning.
12:43He suffered a heart attack.
12:47It's different, but it sure is memorable.
12:50Selma Hacker and Florence Kleiner, Night Court.
12:53This NBC sitcom suffered a number of tragedies with eerie similarities.
12:57The first two seasons starred a gruff, chain-smoking character named Selma Hacker, played by an actress named Selma Diamond.
13:03Selma, you haven't touched your food.
13:05I've touched it, I've chewed it, I've swallowed it.
13:08Now it's up to my enzymes.
13:10Unfortunately, Diamond died of lung cancer on May 13, 1985, just four days after the season two finale.
13:16Her character was killed off and replaced with Flo Kleiner, played by Florence Halep.
13:20What can I do for you?
13:22I'm here for the job.
13:23What job is that?
13:25What is this, a wetsuit?
13:27Well, we interviewed for bailiffs last week.
13:31I'm late.
13:32Like Diamond before her, Halep died of lung cancer shortly after the conclusion of season three.
13:37And like her predecessor, Flo Kleiner was killed off with her death being announced by Judge Harry Stone.
13:42When Selma died, I felt loss.
13:46When Florence died, I felt loss.
13:50Because I cared very much for them.
13:51Carl Konisky, Give Me a Break
13:53This was an incredibly successful sitcom in its day, running for six seasons between 1981 and 1987.
14:00It starred Dolph Sweet as Chief Carl Konisky, a widowed police officer who's often at odds with his daughters.
14:06What are you reading this garbage for?
14:08It's our schoolwork.
14:09Is that what they teach you?
14:11No wonder the schools are overcrowded.
14:14Sweet was informed midway through the fourth season that he had stomach cancer, but he continued to film the show.
14:18He ultimately died from the cancer on May 8th, 1985, just three days before the fourth season finale.
14:24Wait a minute, Chief.
14:25Jonathan is a very nice young man.
14:28It's just that whenever he's around you, he falls apart.
14:31You just have to get to know him.
14:33No, I don't.
14:34Sweet's funeral was held on the night of its airing, with his co-star Nell Carter delivering the eulogy.
14:40Season five opens with an acknowledgement that Chief had died,
14:42and the episode is handled with mature grace as the characters learn to grieve his passing.
14:46Listen, Joey, the Chief is no longer with us, so you're just going to have to show him some respect.
14:57Neil Winters, The Young and the Restless
14:59Perhaps the most famous soap opera in TV history,
15:02The Young and the Restless has been going strong since 1973,
15:05and has aired well over 12,000 episodes.
15:08Between 1991 and 2019, Christoph St. John starred as Neil Winters
15:12and won two Daytime Emmy Awards for his performance.
15:15Since 1991, he played Neil Winters on the soap opera and earned two Emmys for his role.
15:21St. John died at the age of 52 from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,
15:25a condition in which the heart thickens to an abnormal size and is thus unable to pump blood correctly.
15:30Christoph St. John also leaves behind two daughters,
15:33and tonight, so many questions over his untimely death.
15:37His death occurred on February 3rd, 2019,
15:40and just two months later, his character was killed off after suffering a stroke.
15:44You're the voice that carries through
15:47I'm still learning, learning, learning
15:51Sergeant Nick Yamana, Barney Miller
15:53A popular ABC sitcom, Barney Miller took place within a police station
15:58and concerned the wacky officers that inhabited it.
16:00One of them was Sergeant Nick Yamana,
16:02a philosophical man known for making a particularly bad cup of coffee.
16:05Come on, you know I depend on you for a hundred different things.
16:09Yeah, coffee, filing, spring cleaning.
16:14Yeah, but also for your experience,
16:18your sense of humor that gets us through the day.
16:20Nick was played by Jack Sue,
16:21who died of cancer midway through the show's fifth season on January 11th, 1979.
16:26It was later implied that Nick had died,
16:28and the fifth season ends with the episode Jack Sue, a retrospective.
16:31He said to each of us,
16:33sit down and write something you'd like to say about your relationship with Jack.
16:40Whatever you'd like to say.
16:42It sees the actor's breaking character to acknowledge the legacy of their co-worker,
16:46and it closes with everyone raising a cup of coffee in salute.
16:49To you, Jack.
16:49Dr. Virgil Swan, Smallville
16:53This superhero show about a young Clark Kent
16:56features an exceptionally cool cameo from Christopher Reeve,
16:59who played the hero in four Superman movies.
17:02Easy, miss.
17:03I've got you.
17:04You've got me?
17:06Who's got you?
17:07In 1995, Reeve was in an accident that left him with paralysis,
17:11and his use of a wheelchair was written into the character of Dr. Virgil Swan.
17:15It was a brilliant and touching passing of the torch that honored the series' iconic history.
17:32Unfortunately, Reeve fell into a coma after going into cardiac arrest and died on October 10th, 2004.
17:38In the fourth season episode Sacred, which aired four months later,
17:41a newscast explains that Dr. Swan had also died.
17:45We have just confirmed that Dr. Virgil Swan passed away this morning.
17:50No further details have been released.
17:53The reclusive billionaire will be remembered as one of the leading philanthropists of his generation.
17:58Livia Soprano, The Sopranos
17:59Our vote for the worst mother in TV history has to go to Livia Soprano.
18:04Oh, listen to him. He knows everything.
18:06You want some lunch? I got eggplant.
18:09No, no, I just ate.
18:10A real nasty piece of work.
18:12Livia served as a primary antagonist throughout the first two seasons,
18:15often coming into conflict with her son, Tony.
18:17Before you do any more serious damage to yourself or your grandchildren's inheritance,
18:22you're going to stop living alone right now.
18:24This show is known for having some anti-climaxes, and Livia's role is one of them.
18:28A major plotline between Tony and Livia is established at the start of the third season,
18:32but then she randomly dies of a stroke off-screen, and the story is promptly dropped.
18:36Well, your mother died.
18:38You're kidding.
18:41I mean, uh...
18:44Jesus Christ.
18:46This is because Nancy Marchand, the woman who expertly portrayed Livia,
18:50had died in real life after a bout with various lung diseases.
18:53Barry Frost
18:54Rizzoli and Isles
18:55A TNT police procedural, Rizzoli and Isles stars Angie Harmon as Boston detective Jane Rizzoli.
19:02This looks more like a squad room than a home.
19:06Yeah.
19:06Jane, you need a break.
19:08A home is a refuge, a place where you're supposed to get away from your problems.
19:11Some psycho burns it down.
19:13Her partner through the first four seasons was a computer whiz named Barry Frost,
19:17who was played by Lee Thompson Young.
19:19Ross, your mom's here.
19:20Hey, mom.
19:21How'd you get here so fast?
19:22We got off to an early start.
19:24In August of 2013, Young was filming the fourth season of Rizzoli and Isles,
19:28when he failed to show up to set.
19:30A well-being check was conducted, and it was found that Young had taken his own life.
19:33He was only 29 years old.
19:35Barry's last appearance occurs in the penultimate episode of season four,
19:39and it's explained in the fifth season premiere that he died in a car accident.
19:42Barry was so many things to so many people.
19:47Mrs. Wolowitz, The Big Bang Theory
19:49Carol Ann Susie was a highly talented voice actress,
19:52with nothing but her signature rasp.
19:54Susie made the unseen Mrs. Wolowitz an enduring, hilarious, and unforgettable character.
19:59I suppose I could stay for some dessert.
20:01Great.
20:02You like chocolate chip cheesecake?
20:04Sure.
20:04I'll make one.
20:05And she died as she lived, completely off screen.
20:08Mrs. Wolowitz dies in the eighth season episode, The Comic Book Store Regeneration,
20:12and it's explained that she passed in her sleep while visiting her sister in Florida.
20:16What's wrong?
20:19My mom died.
20:22What?
20:24That was my aunt.
20:29Ma took a nap.
20:32She never woke up.
20:33Susie's death was just as sudden and surprising.
20:36She went in for a medical procedure and discovered that she was suffering from cancer.
20:39Her health quickly worsened, and she passed away just one week later at the age of 62.
20:44Bill McNeil, News Radio
20:46Phil Hartman brought his signature style of comedy to a variety of projects,
20:51including Saturday Night Live, where he earned an Emmy.
20:54There's going to be a whole bunch of things we don't tell, Mrs. Clinton.
20:58Fast food is the least of our worries.
21:01One of his most beloved roles was on News Radio as Bill McNeil,
21:04an egotistical yet hilarious anchor at the WNYX station.
21:08Dave's gone too far this time.
21:10Imagine an office without snacks.
21:13Hartman played McNeil for four out of five seasons.
21:16Tragically, after the show's fourth season,
21:18Hartman was fatally shot by his wife before she took her own life.
21:22The show's fifth season premiere was able to act as a tribute to the character
21:25by saying his character died off screen from a heart attack.
21:29As far as memorial services go, I thought that was very nice.
21:32His absence on the show was definitely felt by all.
21:35Ernie Coach Pantuso.
21:36Cheers.
21:37Every character on this classic sitcom brings their specific charm.
21:40For the bartender, Ernie Coach Pantuso, it was his sweet but very dim-witted nature.
21:45I think he's a big pansy, making a big fuss over some intense pain.
21:50How many times did you play hurt, Sam?
21:52Now and then.
21:53I must have got hit by a hundred fastballs.
21:55Actor Nicholas Calasanto embodied Coach's personality flawlessly
21:59and turned him into one of the most popular characters.
22:02Sadly, the actor passed away in 1985 from a heart attack
22:06after playing Coach for the first three seasons.
22:08Coach, we were gonna kiss.
22:12We were?
22:15You mind if I do this for a second?
22:17Since his passing occurred in the middle of season three,
22:20his character was initially just not around,
22:22but the season four premiere eventually confirmed Coach had died.
22:25Woody Harrelson was brought in to fill the role of the bar's resident dummy with a heart of gold.
22:29I'm a friend of Coach's. Is he around?
22:32I'm sorry, Woody. I guess you hadn't heard.
22:34No, uh, Coach passed away a couple months ago.
22:38But yeah, I'd like to think he's still around.
22:40During the finale, the show still took a moment to pay one final tribute to Coach.
22:45Edna Krabappel, The Simpsons.
22:47The Simpsons has an incredible cast of kooky recurring characters.
22:50One of the most frequently featured staples was the cynical elementary school teacher Edna Krabappel.
22:55Mrs. Krabappel, if I don't get at least a C average,
22:58I can't go to Camp Krusty.
23:00Have a delightful summer.
23:02During Marsha Wallace's 14-year history as the character,
23:05she earned an Emmy for outstanding voiceover performance.
23:08In 2013, the actress passed away due to complications from pneumonia.
23:12Although Krabappel's death was never explicitly stated on the show,
23:15there are several hints towards that being the case.
23:18I have to stay here in Springfield because boys like Bart Simpson need me.
23:21Bart's chalkboard message to her following Wallace's passing
23:24and several mentions of her from other characters made it clear that Edna didn't simply retire.
23:30Mr. Hooper, Sesame Street.
23:32Although the majority of the most famous characters from this educational series are puppets,
23:36Mr. Hooper certainly left his mark.
23:38Hi, Mr. Hooper.
23:39Oh, hello, Gordon. How are you?
23:41While the owner of Hooper's store could be a bit harsh, he undeniably had a warm heart.
23:45Will Lee played Mr. Hooper from the show's beginning in 1969 until 1982 when he died of a heart attack.
23:51No one would have blamed the kids' show for writing the character off in a gentle way.
23:55Last but not least, ta-da!
23:58Oh, look at that one!
24:00That's so beautiful!
24:01However, the show decided to address his death through a storyline with Big Bird
24:05in a way its young viewers could understand.
24:07Big Bird, when people die, they don't come back.
24:13Ever?
24:14No, never.
24:16Sesame Street was praised for handling such a serious topic with sensitivity and understanding.
24:21They made sure that children and adults could say goodbye to Lee's Mr. Hooper.
24:25Owen Granger, NCIS Los Angeles.
24:28Miguel Ferrer went from playing recurring character Owen Granger on NCIS Los Angeles
24:33to being a part of the main fabric of the show.
24:35Go into the main building, tell him to lock the doors and keep security and PD away.
24:39I'll handle this.
24:40While he was still acting on the program, he was diagnosed with throat cancer.
24:44A behind-the-scenes decision was made to reveal that the Granger character was also suffering from a cancer ailment
24:49caused by risky career choices.
24:51I'm afraid he's gone.
24:56Gone?
24:57From what I understand, one minute he was here and the next minute he wasn't.
25:02Within the show, the character left a hospital where he was being treated to spend time with his family.
25:06In real life, Ferrer had passed away in a house he shared with his loved ones.
25:10The show concluded Granger's storyline by letting the audience know he had died peacefully in a beautiful place.
25:16I got to know my father and he got to know me.
25:19It was a wonderful week.
25:21Leo McGarry, The West Wing.
25:23Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing had a wonderful cast of deep characters and engaging plot lines
25:27that helped earn the show more than two dozen Emmys.
25:30One of its Emmys went to John Spencer, who played the president's chief of staff, Leo McGarry.
25:34Well, you're president of the United States, you're delivering the State of the Union address
25:38tomorrow night, India and Pakistan are pointing nuclear weapons at each other and you have
25:42a 102-degree fever.
25:44So I guess we're out of the woods.
25:46McGarry's dynamics with other characters was fascinating to watch.
25:50His friendship with President Jed Bartlett was particularly engaging.
25:53Sadly, that friendship was cut short when Spencer died of a heart attack in 2005, partway
25:58through filming the show's final season.
26:00At the time, Leo was running for vice president.
26:02The series had him also die of a heart attack on election night.
26:05In a touching moment, the writers made it clear Leo would have become vice president.
26:13Fred Andrews, Riverdale.
26:16Luke Perry became a teen icon while playing Dylan on Beverly Hills' 90210.
26:20He returned for a whole new generation of teen drama on Riverdale to play Archie's father,
26:24Fred Andrews.
26:25Welcome home, Ferris.
26:27Sneaking out, breaking curfew, getting into fights.
26:30Dad, don't freak out, okay?
26:32I was with Josie helping the pussycats with a song they're doing at that Taste of Riverdale thing.
26:37And I was hoping you would let me go.
26:39Thanks to Perry's fine work, his relationship with his son felt real and the character felt
26:43incredibly compassionate.
26:45The show demonstrated his selflessness by having Fred sacrifice his life to push a stranger
26:50out of the path of a speeding car.
26:51Another vehicle came upon them way too fast and he was struck by them.
27:00In reality, this turn was written in response to Perry's passing of a stroke in 2019 at just 52.
27:05Riverdale's season four In Memoriam episode served as a touching tribute to the character
27:10and actor.
27:11Perry's Beverly Hills co-star Shannon Doherty also made a guest appearance as the stranger
27:16he saved.
27:16Finn Hudson, Glee
27:32Corey Monteith was best known for playing Glee's Finn Hudson.
27:35The star quarterback celebrated his love for singing by joining the Signature Club.
27:39I wish that I had Jesse's girl
27:41Where can I find a woman like that?
27:47After four years of playing the character, the world was rocked with shocking news.
27:52The 31-year-old was found dead in his hotel room with a mix of alcohol and other substances
27:56in his system.
27:57Following his death, the production start date for the show's fifth season was pushed back.
28:01Sort of cheesy.
28:04How it's beautiful.
28:05I just had to see it.
28:11They eventually addressed Finn's passing in the quarterback without giving details about
28:15how he died.
28:16For the remainder of the series, the show continued to honor the memory of one of the Glee Club's
28:20brightest stars.
28:22Adam West, Family Guy.
28:24For years, the silly antics of Mayor Adam West provided some of the best moments on Family
28:28Guy.
28:28Having the hilariously odd character actually be voiced by the former Batman star just made
28:33everything more delightful.
28:35My name isn't Adam Wee.
28:36Or is it?
28:38Who am I?
28:39What number did you dial?
28:40Don't ever call here again.
28:42I guess I told him, nobody messes with Adam Wee.
28:47In 2017, West died from leukemia and, like the rest of us, Family Guy said goodbye to its
28:52mayor.
28:53But life in Quahog continued on.
28:54The town's high school was renamed after West in tribute.
28:57In his stead, his cousin Wild West, voiced by Sam Elliott, took his place.

29:17Paul Hennessy, Eight Simple Rules.
29:20Originally titled Eight Simple Rules for dating my teenage daughter, the sitcom followed the
29:24trials and tribulations of an overbearing father as his teen daughters began to date.
29:28You will continue to date her and no one but her until she is finished with you.
29:32Because if you make her cry, I will make you cry.
29:35Legendary sitcom actor John Ritter was praised for his take as family patriarch Paul.
29:40Tragically, he passed away of an aortic dissection while filming the second season.
29:44The show took a break in production to reshape the series.
29:47Supposed to be back in 10 minutes.
29:50He was running a stupid errand.
29:51He was supposed to be back and he was taking us to school.
29:53After it returned, the show spent an hour-long episode to serve as a tribute to Paul.
29:58Subsequent episodes also showed the impact of his death on his family.
30:01I always hated it when he did that.
30:03I just want my dad back.
30:05Bridget.
30:05Leave me alone.
30:06While the show was never quite the same after Paul's absence, Ritter and his final leading
30:10role weren't forgotten.
30:12Which of these characters' deaths hurt you the most?
30:14Let us know in the comments section.
30:16That was Angela.
30:17Fearless, spontaneous, honest.
30:20About herself, just as much as she was about the world around her.
