13 TV Characters Who Should Have Met Their Fate

      These TV characters were deserving of their deaths.

      Spoilers are ahead, naturally.

      Frank Underwood on House of Cards (Portrayed by Kevin Spacey)

      Netflix

      Frank Underwood was written off House of Cards due to the off-screen allegations against Kevin Spacey, which the actor denies. However, the character himself is undeniably guilty.

      President Underwood murdered the two most beloved characters in the first season, Zoe and Peter (Kate Mara and Corey Stoll), and showed no remorse.

      In the show’s final season, it was revealed that Frank schemed to kill his accomplice, Claire (Robin Wright). Absolutely irredeemable.

      The Trinity Killer on Dexter (Portrayed by John Lithgow)

      Showtime

      The Trinity Killer, or Arthur Mitchell, pretends to be a devoted family man while harboring a sadistic, violent side that only ends when Dexter (Michael C. Hall) ultimately stops him.

      But Dexter is too late: he returns home to discover that Trinity’s final act of murder was the killing of Rita (Julie Benz), who was entirely innocent and had been Dexter’s last hope for a normal life.

      While the Trinity Killer certainly deserved to die, he remains one of the best villains on television, brilliantly portrayed by Lithgow.

      Ramsay Bolton on Game of Thrones (Portrayed by Iwan Rheon)

      HBO

      A sadistic psychopath who delights in torturing his foes, Ramsay is even disloyal to his own father.

      He finally gets what he deserves when Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) unleashes his own hunting dogs on him—who prove to be just as disloyal as he is. Good riddance.

      Game of Thrones excelled at introducing characters who were worthy of death, as the rest of this list will starkly demonstrate.

      The Governor on The Walking Dead (Portrayed by David Morrissey)

      AMC

      Aside from beheading Hershel Greene, who posed no threat to anyone, the Governor (David Morrissey) imposed brutal control over the residents of Woodbury and tormented Rick Grimes and his group.

      Most egregiously, he called himself The Governor when he should have only claimed the title of mayor.

      There were no tears shed when he met his end by Michonne’s sword and Lilly’s gun.

      Walter White on Breaking Bad (Portrayed by Bryan Cranston)

      AMC

      Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan always claimed that Walter White would transform from Mr. Chips to Scarface, and he certainly delivered.

      Initially, we sympathized with Walt, a struggling father diagnosed with cancer who turned to drug production to provide for his family. However, he morphed into the power-hungry Heisenberg, responsible for numerous deaths along with those addicted to his meth.

      Walt deserved his fate and was aware of it, yet he went out on a high note: eliminating his enemies, freeing Jesse, securing his family’s future, and exacting revenge on former friends-turned-traitors Elliott and Gretchen. He died peacefully from a gunshot wound he himself orchestrated.

      Though reprehensible, we still hoped he might somehow emerge victorious, and in a sense, he did—making him one of the most compelling characters in TV history.

      Todd Alquist on Breaking Bad (Portrayed by Jesse Plemons)

      AMC

      Todd initially seemed friendly, but then he shot a young witness with a tarantula. There was no redeeming him after that, and he continued to worsen, even imprisoning Jesse like the boy with his pet spider.

      We don’t blame Jesse (Aaron Paul) for choking him out.

      But wow: Jesse Plemons delivered an astounding performance. This role, along with his work in Friday Night Lights, cemented his status as one of Hollywood’s finest actors, especially in playing seemingly harmless characters with dark secrets.

      Ralph Cifaretto on The Sopranos (Portrayed by Joe Pantaliano)

      HBO

      The Sopranos was filled with characters who earned their deaths, but let’s begin with Ralph Cifaretto. He was a profitable earner but a truly awful person.

      While Ralph had some charisma, he completely lost us when he senselessly killed his pregnant dancer girlfriend, Tracee (Ariel Kiley, alongside Ralph).

      We cheered when Tony Soprano eliminated Ralph. There was poetic justice in Tony killing him with his own hands, mimicking Ralph’s violence against Tracee. Our disdain for Ralph remains.

      Christopher Moltisanti on The Sopranos (Portrayed by Michael Imperioli)

      Not only was Christopher petty and violent, but he also once killed a dog by sitting on it. He crossed an irretrievable line when he chose not to
