12 TV Characters Who Should Have Met Their End

      These television characters had it coming.

      Spoilers are ahead.

      Let’s dive in.

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

      Netflix

      House of Cards removed Frank Underwood from the storyline due to off-screen allegations against Kevin Spacey, which the actor has denied. However, who is undeniably at fault?

      That would be President Underwood, who eliminated the two most beloved characters on the show — Zoe and Peter (Kate Mara and Corey Stoll) during the inaugural season and never looked back.

      The series' final season even disclosed that Frank schemed to murder his accomplice, Claire (Robin Wright). Truly unforgivable.

      The Trinity Killer from Dexter (Portrayed by John Lithgow)

      Showtime

      The Trinity Killer, or Arthur Mitchell, presents himself as a family man to disguise his horrifying, murderous tendencies, which only end when Dexter (Michael C. Hall) finally brings him down.

      But Dexter is too late: He returns home to discover that Trinity's final victim was Rita (Julie Benz), who was innocent and good — and Dexter’s last chance at a happy, normal life.

      The Trinity Killer certainly deserved his fate, and he remains one of the best TV villains ever, brilliantly portrayed by Lithgow.

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

      HBO

      A sadistic psychopath who relishes in torturing his enemies, often in vile sexual manners. He is disloyal even to his own father.

      He ultimately gets what he deserves when Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) unleashes his own hunting dogs on him — and those dogs are just as loyal as he is. Good riddance.

      Game of Thrones excelled at introducing characters who deserved punishment, as the rest of this list will grimly demonstrate.

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

      AMC

      In addition to beheading Hershel Greene, who was harmless, the Governor (David Morrissey) enforced his brutal rule over the residents of Woodbury and tormented Rick Grimes and his group.

      Most infuriatingly, he called himself The Governor when he should have just been the mayor.

      We weren't upset to see him go, thanks to Michonne’s sword and Lilly’s firearm.

      Walter White from Breaking Bad (Portrayed by Bryan Cranston)

      AMC

      Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan always indicated that the series would transform Walter White from Mr. Chips to Scarface, and he certainly lived up to that promise.

      In the beginning, we cheered for Walt, a struggling father diagnosed with cancer who turned to drug production to care for his family. But eventually, he morphed into the power-hungry Heisenberg, causing countless deaths alongside those who fell victim to his meth addiction.

      Walt earned his demise, and he was aware of it. Still, he exited on top: He eliminated his foes, liberated Jesse, ensured his family was financially secure, and avenged himself on his backstabbing friends Elliott and Gretchen. He met his end bleeding from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in an orchestrated attack.

      He was despicable, yet we still hoped for his success, which he achieved, making him one of the most intriguing characters in TV history.

      Todd Alquist from Breaking Bad (Portrayed by Jesse Plemons)

      AMC

      Todd appeared friendly at first, but then he shockingly shot a boy witness with a tarantula. There was no redemption after that, as Todd only became more malevolent, even keeping Jesse in a cage like he did with the tarantula.

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

      However, hats off to Jesse Plemons for his exceptional performance. Along with Friday Night Lights, it revealed that he is one of Hollywood's finest actors, especially in roles portraying seemingly nice guys with dark secrets.

      Ralph Cifaretto from The Sopranos (Portrayed by Joe Pantaliano)

      HBO

      The Sopranos had numerous characters who deserved demise, but let’s kick off with Ralph Cifaretto. He was a lucrative earner, but a terrible person.

      While Ralph had some charm, he completely lost us with the senseless murder of his pregnant girlfriend Tracee (Ariel Kiley, together with Ralph).

      We couldn't have been happier to see Tony Soprano take him down, especially given the poetic justice of Tony ending Ralph’s life with his bare hands, just like Ralph did to Tracee. Our disdain for Ralph remains strong.

      In addition to being petty and murderous, and having once killed a dog by sitting on it, Christopher crossed a line when
