Maggie’s drowning is the most shocking of all those , really gives me the chills

[@LB-gz3ke]

I can't even watch that again. It is so awful.

[@sheawhitehead7447]

I absolutely hate how Maggie went out that way. Susan Sullivan's Maggie on Falcon Crest is one of the best characters of any. Also, Pamela Bellwood's death on Dynasty as Claudia is very tragic, yet epic.

[@LBF522]

She drowned just like Chase did.

Even when it aired, I felt that Maggie's was one of the more original soap deaths. It was so ordinary, diving in to get her kids' toys and then getting her ring caught on the drain. Unlike most over-the-top soap deaths, it was such an everyday thing, and that's what makes it hit as hard as it still does. Could happen to any of us - unlike being blown away by a terrorist or crushed in a trash compactor.

[@carinnovick2995]

That was the last episode I ever watched! Made me sick. I know Susan Sullivan was ready to leave FC but they couldn't find any other way? Just plain morbid!

[@beckymigdal3140]

Mickey trotter from Dallas was heart wrenching.

[@dominickdirienzo8266]

What’s really tragic was that his actor died of AIDS in real life.

[@nadavno]

Sid's death was indeed the saddest. Maggie's was most shocking. Gave me nightmares. Great list!!!

[@beckymigdal3140]

Mickey Trotter from Dallas was heart wrenching.

[@geraldhighsmith7710]

Knots landing had the best beginnings and the BEST endings

[@Thelma158]

I'm glad April Ewing and Claudia Carrington made honorable mention. They were 2 of my favorites I hated seeing them die. Claudia didn't even get a funeral yet Luke fuller did. She deserved one too.

[@patbrooks9823]

Digger Barnes' death was a mix of sadness and redemption. He saved his one time friend Jock from life in prison. Instead of dying a pitiful death of a drunk, he was remembered well by Jock & Ellie at the end of the episode.

[@PungiFungi]

But JR kept telling Cliff how he is going to die a drunk just like his daddy.

[@DebbieandEddieBFF]

Absolutely

[@DebbieandEddieBFF]

​@PungiFung 9:55 JR was wrong

[@rachaelb8914]

Poor Steven. He had bad luck with suitors.

[@ralphkramden2089]

When Emmas (FC) bf Dwayne died I felt so bad for her. I mean, she FINALLY gets a NICE, GOOD GUY!

[@austincalloway8745]

Yeah...

[@vladimirenlow4388]

Between Ted and Luke, Steven just couldn't catch a break. That "bury your gays" trope hit him with both barrels.

[@rony41165]

How about Bart fallmont

[@vladimirenlow4388]

@@rony41165Okay, but that one got worse before it got better. Consolation prize: his boyfriend turns out to be Batman.

[@andrewmichaelscollectibles]

I still think Bobby's death should be number 1. Even though it wasn't technically a death, the music at that scene only makes it more sad not to mention J.R actually looked defeated.

[@dominickdirienzo8266]

Bobby’s death was retooled as a dream as well as an entire season of Dallas.

[@pokergalpoker]

It took me soooo long to get over Sid's death, it was like I knew him, that's awesome acting/TV!

[@dominickdirienzo8266]

It’s heartbreaking that Linda died in Cole’s arms. She was a decent woman.

[@SweptAway529]

Agreed! I'm rewatching Season 3 of FC right now - I'd forgotten how much I liked her character.

[@4nlover635]

It's TV.

[@brucestuckey7316]

In my opinion Maggie's death should've been #1. Also one of the honorable mentions was the death of Annabelle from Flamingo Road who died in a fire at the Weldon Mill.

[@soapwonder2284]

OMG I cried my eyes out when Luke Fuller died! He was gorgeous! They were such a happy couple! 😢

[@Thelma158]

Soapwonder he helped bust up Steven and Claudia. He was a homewrecker. Claudia and Steven were so cute together.

[@DPO263]

That was really sad. But if you think that Luke Fuller or the actor who played him (Billy Campbell) was "gorgeous" THEN, you should see him NOW! His hotness is INSANE!

[@johndyslin798]

Of course, if Bobby stayed dead that would have been the top. Tough choice between top three.

[@domshaheen7356]

Agreed, so tough.

[@erika8214]

Yes, Sid’s death brought a tear to my eye. I loved him and Karen. It took a little bit to get used to Mac and Karen, but I learned to really like them as a couple too. I can’t believe Michael Nader is gone. I loved him on Dynasty and All My Children (AMC).

[@briantaylor9285]

That pool scene and the Uzi scene... SEARED into our memories

[@jasongibson3496]

Seeing Laura leaving video tape messages meant she already died at that clinic she wanted to go to and die alone. That was so sad it lead me to cry over and over again. No new character on Knots Landing could ever take Laura's place. Good - Bye Laura you will always be loved.

[@montygreen6228]

Laura's death hit me very hard. I stopped watching Knots Landing after Constance McCashin was fired from Knots Landing. She had very little to do while on the show. Constance was treated very unfairly, something that upset me to the point of losing interest in the show.

[@jasontasch8568]

I was going to express outrage about them not including Laura Avery from Knots Landing, as her death was so extremely sad... then I remembered: she did not actually have a "death scene", so she would not quialify for this.

[@petercehily2687]

Maggie’s death was the most shocking and totally unexpected. My Mom and I were totally gobsmacked watching it. The aftermath of Sid Fairgate’s death was very realistic

[@brianlusk2557]

When ciji on knots landing was killed off the show 🥺

[@domshaheen7356]

Great list, Toni. Nice choices of clips and 🥲 to the tribute. Dynasty’s 40th sneaked up on me! How am I this old? 😂

[@heddalee]

"seriously injured in a fire." Well, if it killed her...

[@JohnJones-fg1dd]

Maggie's death is horrible. Never swim with my wedding ring because of that scene. I was admittedly happy when April died. Never liked her and hated her with Bobby. Why did Joseph kill himself?

[@montygreen6228]

Knots Landing had 3 deaths that hit me very hard. When Ciji Dunne was killed by Chip I couldn't stop crying. I really love Lisa Hartman as Ciji Dunne. Fortunately I was not alone, and Lisa Hartman returned as a Ciji Dunne look a like name Cathy Geary. The first letter of each name C G is short for Ciji. The second death that hit me hard was the passing of Laura Avery played by the great Constance McCashin. Laura died of cancer. Miss. McCashin was written out of the show, news that did not sit well with me. I stopped watching Knots Landing after Constance McCashin was let go from the show. The 3th death that hit me hard was Sid Fairgate car going off of a cliff. Sid played by Don Murray died of his injuries. Knots Landing deaths hit me the hardest of all the night time soaps

[@chrismcevoy2503]

Maggie’s death was really sad on Falcon Crest.

[@cloverfield911]

Rebecca on Dallas....Mum and cried so much.

[@josebro352]

What about Ciji's death from Knots Landing? I'll never forget the image of her body floating in the surf at night.

[@RyanLCL846]

Maggie's drowning in Falcon Crest.. If her ring is big enough to get into the hole, why isn't it big enough to come out? Lol.

[@ralphkramden2089]

I remember that the stone was Marquise cut. So, it is totally plausible as to it getting stuck in the grate as she was picking up the toys. I thought it was weird how both Chase and Maggie died in water.

[@tjames9698]

Remember at her funeral where the ring slipped easily off when Charley stole it? Lol!!!

[@chrismcevoy2503]

Ted Denard’s death was tragic on Dynasty.

[@joshdisbennett8370]

Don’t run Claudia! Just watch it burn! 😂

[@vladimirenlow4388]

Watching that whole wall go up in flames like that seems ridiculous now... but consider that a 1980s hotel, even a luxury one, might still be full of flammable fabrics and cushions that not only went up like Roman candles, but emitted toxic smoke as well.

[@erika8214]

I never could stand Claudia.

[@supersoaps]

Lol!

[@guillermovilla9517]

@@erika8214She was just one walking tragedy. 😂

[@christieschneider8786]

I can’t believe they made April Ewings death an honorable mention. It should have been #1

[@briantaylor9285]

That EKG definitely was an uncredited guess star.

[@fernandbesse]

Moi,c'est la mort de Julie Grey dans la série Dallas qui m'avait fortement marqué.....La pauvre!!!!J'aurai aimé qu'elle restait plus longtemps dans la série Dallas cette grande actrice qu'est Tina Louise....

[@jasonchace494]

Claudia hurt the most

[@LBF522]

Cole at his wife's death bed yet in a matter of weeks, he is bedding Melissa.

[@benoit-1975]

You have forgotten Bobby's death, even if it's a Pam's dream.

[@jeromelombardo6053]

They did Claudia wrong.

[@dammar117]

#10 wasn't an accident, it was homicide.

[@xavierservant4533]

1 April 2 Sid 3 Maggie

[@rony41165]

How about Lorraine Richard’s step daughter who got involved with lance

[@4nlover635]

Blake was the evil one, not Alexis.

[@supersoaps]

Agree! Alexis was wishy-washy most times. Toni

[@guillermovilla9517]

Definitely in the first couple of seasons. Really unlikable. They softened him, but he was awful to Steven and to Krystal. A bit of a bully.

[@LB-gz3ke]

I loved me some Falcon Crest. But Cole's girlfriend was a boring character. Paired with boring Cole. Her death just wasn't that memorable. Lance's girlfriend Dina's death was more impactful.

[@SweptAway529]

Cole and Linda were married by this scene.

[@2up3rm4n1]

I didn't watch these things. I usually tried to watch cliffhangers if anything, then realized that was a waste of time, but I did watch that earthquake on Falcon Crest and the two people killed were bit characters who were essentially slated to go with a season, if deemed necessary, and that was all Dwayne was, so it really doesn't say a lot about these primetime soaps in gteneral if Dwayne's death on Falcon Crest is in the top ten. I remember noticing his face was obscured and so was the woman David Selby was involved with, which was as about as cheap as, they never found the body.

[@danielvrodriguez81]

No one cares about Ciji??

[@supersoaps]

daniel, mea culpa! So many dead people in these shows, if all returned it would be Wakling Dead 2! Ciji (& Cathy) appear in other videos though. Take care. Toni

[@doloreswallin4381]

Falcon crest was awful.

[@tjames9698]

It was awesome for the first five seasons, but tanked so badly afterwards…..

[@austincalloway8745]

Disagree

[@sheawhitehead7447]

I love Falcon Crest, especially through Season 6.

[@josephgraefe4886]

No it wasn't.

[@jmjfanss]
