Nothing is more shocking than when a major and often beloved character is suddenly killed off your favorite TV show.
[Warning: Spoilers ahead if you havent seen Sundays episode of True Blood. Or any of these shows, actually.]
So when Sundays episode of True Blood saw Christopher Melonis Roman meeting the True Death at the hands of the evil Russell Edgington (Denis OHare), it came as a pretty big surprise.

Melonis appearance on the show had been built up for months, so for the former Law & Order: SVU star to be killed off after just a few episodes seems like a very surprising move for HBO. (Granted, at the end of the episode, Roman hadnt quite exploded into a pile of blood and guts, so some part of us holds on to the hope that he hasnt met the true, true death. Clearly, were still in denial.)
With Melonis staking fresh in our mind,The Hollywood Reporterwrites short letters of love for some other TV characters whose runs were cut far too short.
Roman (Christopher Meloni) HBOs True Blood
His extremely long and dramatic monologues will be forever burned in our memories. Well never forget the time he staked that kid.
Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn) AMCs The Walking Dead
"Love thy neighbor as thyself." P.S. Carl says he's sorry.
Ned Stark (Sean Bean) -- HBO's Game of Thrones
Heads did roll for the former hand of the king. He was a wonderful father, a fair ruler and King Joffrey should pay for his sins!
Jimmy (Michael Pitt) -- HBO's Boardwalk Empire
Father and extremely, really, desperately beloved son -- and lover.
Lil Sebastian NBCs Parks and Recreation
He was anything but lil. We hope hes eating carrots and urinating freely in mini-horse heaven.

Charlie (Kirk Acevedo) -- Fox's Fringe
Killed in action, though we didn't know it because his likeness was stolen by a shape-shifter. (Sorry about the late memorial.)
Dana (Erin Daniels) -- Showtime's The L Word
Daughter, friend, LGBT trailblazer, tennis champion and the glue that held us together. We really miss her.
Sgt. James Doakes (Erik King) Showtimes Dexter
His killer instincts made him a top cop with a ruthless edge. His fiery demise was not in vain it lead to the closing of the Bay Harbor Butcher case for now.
Mr. Eko (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) ABCs Lost
A religious man, he survived implosions and polar bar attacks only to be taken from this world by a smoke monster.
Keith Scott (Craig Sheffer) CWs One Tree Hill
Taken from this world (by his brother) far too early. Well miss him (until he appears in a hallucination or two).
