Year in Review: Saddest Character Death of 2012
Before we pop the champagne in celebration of the new year, let's take a moment and pour one out for those we lost in 2012.
From plane crashes to lead pipe attacks, a number of beloved characters took their final breath over the past dozen months.
Which death hit you the hardest? Which left an ever-lasting impression? Which made you create a doll of the showrunner in question to burn in effigy as you cried yourself to sleep every night very sad?

I don't understand why no one has memtioned Dawn Trager on "Sons of Anarchy". True, she was wasn't a main character, but unlike Opie (Sorry, but it's true) she was truly innocent

King Arthur on Merlin. That's some serious bromance brewing at the end. Might have expecting an "I love you".
Mrs. Lockwood on TVD is also sad. Because it's truly about how your acts will have effects on your family.

Lexie, Mark, Alaric, and Bobby of Supernatural. Losing Bobby was like losing a member of the family. After everything Dean & Sam have been thru and then to lose their only family! Just killed me! Lexi and Mark both senseless deaths. Couldn't they have just left town together! Seriously Shonda. Shame on you. They deserved some happiness. Alaric's ghostly presence is desperately needed on TVD ASAP!

I think the saddest deaths were Lexi hands down. Runners up of course Bobby from SOA and of course Sybil and Matthew from Downtown Abbey.

I'm still in denial about Opie's death (SOA).

I'm with @Kamja on this one. No mention of Bobby? He didn't even make a reappearance in season 8 yet after his bow at Comic Con. Nooooooooooo.
Now I'm a bit sad at Nina's death on Fringe. They're kickin em off on there. :-(

Bobby (Supernatural) twice.
You can kill anyone on that show, but you don't kill Bobby, you bastards!
