compiling a list of dead gay tv characters

[greencat]

Hi everyone

I'm new here and I need your help,

my name is Eran, I am an artist from Israel and I'm collecting scenes where a dead gay tv charecter died for a video project.

It's very hard to find this information and I had lots of help from the good peopole at after elton, but I have a feeling you guys have some other info I don't have yet. I already found Fisica.O.Quimica, AWZ, the World Turns and Emmerdale but I'm pretty sure there are other soaps I'm not aware of where a gay character died.

I would be grateful for any info you can supply.

Thanx

I'm doing this from memory, so forgive me if I get any details wrong. These are in addition to the four that you have already listed.

Edwin from GTST {see below post}

Dale from Big Love (If I remember correctly, he committed suicide). {not sure when it happened -- season 1 or maybe 2?}

I think there was a gay character that died in the original (UK version) of Queer As Folk, if I remember correctly the character died from a drug overdose. After checking -- his name was Phillip. {Not sure when it happened}

Sammy from Dance Academy -- died when he was hit by a car. {End of season 2}

La vie devant nous's Gael who sadly committed suicide. {happened off-screen, and I don't think the clips are available anymore}

Bisexual Tyler from Revenge -- he was murdered. {I believe it happened mid-way through season 1}

There's a one-of episode from an Australian show called Sea Patrol, where the gay kid commits suicide (there is a thread for the show in the other shows set).

United States of Tara's Lionel who died offscreen in a car accident. {late in season 3, I think around episode 10}

Game of Thrones' Renly who was killed by some kind of smoke demon. {midway through season 2}

Raw's Pavel who died from an aneurysm, I believe. {see below post}

{Edited to add approximate timing of deaths}

Jack and Bobby also had a gay character (he only showed up in one episode), named Matt who committed suicide after realizing that Jack could never return Matt's feelings for him.

{edited to add: The episode was titled "Lost Boys". I don't remember them showing the actual death -- just the aftermath with Jack dealing with Matt's parents}

wow, depressing. I did't think there would be so many (I already have about fifty)

just a couple of questions: what is gtst?, raw? (never herd about either)
do you happen to remember any specific episodes or even what season?

and thanx, I appreciate the help

[kevvoi]

GTST stands for Goede Tijden Slechte Tijden; it is a Dutch show -- I'm ashamed to admit, but I have no idea when Edwin died (I never cared for Lucas (his boyfriend) and so didn't watch the show). Raw is an Irish show -- Pavel dies near the end of season 3.

All of the shows I listed have threads on this board.

Another show with gay deaths: Plus Belle La Vie. Though for one of the characters it ended up being a charade (Nico) for police business. If I remember correctly Florian also died during the run of the show. Both Nico and Florian were boyfriends of Thomas's.

Two more deaths:

Ianto from Torchwood -- died midway through season 3.

Tee from Rak Pad Pan Kao, I think also died near the end of the show (unfortunately the last couple clips where that happened haven't been translated into English).

[kevvoi]

And Lafayette's boyfriend Jesus, from the show True Blood (occurred near the end of Season 4, I believe).

[kevvoi]

This list is getting pretty depressing

[greencat]

cheer up, there are some survivors.
:\

you have been a tremendous help, thank you. I already found five new scenes thanx to you.

greencat, I was wrong Tee from Rak Pad Pan Kao actually was written out of the show -- Someone kindly left some partial translations in the last couple of vids -- Tee actually went to America and his boyfriend Jon was supposed to join him later on. So he didn't actually die.
