25/02/2020

A series is made of laughter, tears, joy... But it's also departures. Many actors leave the series at the beginning of a new season, but some can truly be heartbreaking. Let's take a look at the ones that have left the greatest impression on us.

One does not count any more the number of deaths in The Walking Dead, but if there is indeed a disappearance that marked us, it is that of Chandler Riggs who plays Carl in the show. Brutal and sudden, his departure did not leave anybody indifferent and even made the audiences drop!

Alfred Enoch

Found dead in Annalise's house, the actor Alfred Enoch who plays Wes in Murder was only informed of his fictitious death one month before it happened! A shock for both the actor and the spectators.

Christopher Meloni

Mariska Hargitay's partner in the mythical series New-York, Special Unit, Christopher Meloni, left the show during the 12th season. A surprising exit but it did not stop the series to start again with new characters.
