Whether it's drama, comedy or something in between, TV show writers have never been afraid to surprise audiences with a memorable character death.

Back in March 1975, M*A*S*H became a TV death pioneer when Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) died in the season 3 finale. The character was headed home after being honorably discharged from the army, but before he could make it, he was killed by enemy fire.

Some 21st-century shows, however, make M*A*S*H's surprise death look tame.

Lost, which ran from 2004 to 2010, became known for its shocking twists before the first season was even finished. In the April 2005 episode "Do No Harm," viewers were devastated when Boone (Ian Somerhalder) died after a plane fell on him in the jungle, and his passing was just the beginning.

Manifest, You, Game of Thrones and more hit series have also thrown fans for a loop by killing off fan favorites.

Scroll down for a look back at some of the most shocking deaths in TV history — and remember, spoilers ahead!

George Cooper Sr. (Lance Barber) on 'Young Sheldon'
Sheldon Cooper's beloved father, George Cooper Sr., died of an offscreen heart attack during the final season of Young Sheldon. His sudden death was revealed in the final moments of May 9's episode, which premiered one week before the two-part finale is set to air on May 16.   Fans of The Big Bang Theory, which Young Sheldon serves as a prequel, will remember adult Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) referencing his father dying from a heart attack when he was 14 and growing up in East Texas.

Zeke on 'Manifest'
After helping wife Michaela Stone (Melissa Roxbourgh) assist her fellow 828 passengers on Netflix's Manifest, Zeke ultimately sacrificed himself during the 10th episode of season 4. As an empath, Zeke channeled nephew Cal Stone's (Ty Doran) renewed cancer pain into himself, saving Cal's future. It is his understanding that Cal would likely be more integral to saving the fate of humanity during the rest of the season. Peter Kramer /Netflix

Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) on 'Stranger Things'
During season 4, viewers met Eddie when he found himself at the center of a murder investigation. The leader of the Hellfire Club teamed up with Dustin and his friends to help them defeat Vecna — and clear his name. In Volume 2, however, Eddie comes full circle when he decides to stay behind in the Upside Down as a distraction instead of running away from danger. Eddie gets Dustin to safety but ends up losing too much blood himself. When Dustin returns for Eddie, he dies in his arms as a hero. Courtesy of Netflix © 2022

Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) on 'The Flash'
Saving the world sometimes means losing a hero. In order to save Caitlin (Panabaker) from the villainous Deathstorm (Robbie Amell) in the middle of season 8, Team Flash asked Frost (also Panabaker) to level up her powers. The process resulted in Frost's death, leaving a devastated Caitlin without her sister figure. "I loved getting to play her and all the different variations of her, the evil version, and then particularly these last couple of seasons, getting to see her really come into her own and have experiences and grow up and mature and take responsibility for her actions, I've enjoyed that immensely," Panabaker told EW about the shocking death. "So obviously it's a loss, but it did make for some great storytelling." Shane Harvey/The CW

Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner) on 'Ozark'
There were many deaths throughout Ozark's four seasons, but the one that shocked fans the most was when Ruth was killed in an act of retaliation. During the second half of the final season, which aired in April 2022, Ruth murdered Javi (Alfonso Herrera) after she learned he was responsible for the death of her cousin Wyatt (Charlie Tahan). Her revenge plan led to a startling twist when Javi's mom followed her home in the series finale and shot her. STEVE DIETL/NETFLIX

Villanelle (Jodie Comer) on 'Killing Eve'
Fans were shocked when Eve and Villanelle finally gave into their feelings during the series finale — only to have the assassin killed at the very last moment. Executive producer Sally Woodward revealed that Villanelle's death was planned "quite early on" in the writing process. "We were open to something else sort of declaring itself, but it never really changed," she told Deadline in April 2022, shortly after the season 4 finale premiered. "We also didn't want to do anything horrible to her. I mean, pretty horrible. We didn't want to do anything gruesome to her. We didn't want to sort of go, here, 'See how you like it.' And we wanted it to be epic as well. She was surrounded by a sort of celestial light because she's a special being." Anika Molnar/BBCA

Michael Cordero (Brett Dier) on 'Jane the Virgin'
When Jane Villaneuva's (Gina Rodriguez) husband died suddenly in season 3, tears were heard all across the CW-viewing universe. It was later revealed that Michael survived — this was a telenovela, after all — but the devastating moment when Jane found out about her first love's "death" remains seared in fans' brains.

Mr. Big (Chris Noth) on 'And Just Like That'
Sex and the City fans were devastated in December 2021 when Carrie's husband, John James Preston (a.k.a. Mr. Big), died in the first episode of revival series, And Just Like That. The financier, who experienced heart problems during season 6 of SATC's original run, had a heart attack after a particularly invigorating session on his Peloton bike. After the episode debuted, Peloton issued a statement noting that Mr. Big's death couldn't only be attributed to his exercise. "Mr. Big lived what many would call an extravagant lifestyle — including cocktails, cigars, and big steaks — and was at serious risk as he had a previous cardiac event in season 6," the company told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. "These lifestyle choices and perhaps even his family history, which often is a significant factor, were the likely cause of his death. Riding his Peloton bike may have even helped delay his cardiac event." New Line Cinema/Hbo/Village Roadshow/Kobal/Shutterstock

Jane Margolis (Krysten Ritter) on 'Breaking Bad'
Breaking Bad had plenty of violent deaths throughout its five seasons, but few hurt as much as Jane's did in season 2. After Jane overdosed on heroin, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) allowed her to choke on her own vomit rather than help her. The tragedy was one of the first times audiences got a hint of how dangerous Walter would eventually become. YouTube

Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) on 'You'
After Love's murderous tendencies got out of control during You season 3, which premiered in October 2021, it became clear that it was only a matter of time before Joe (Penn Badgley) would do something about it. Still, it was shocking when he killed her and framed her for all their previous crimes, then fled to Paris in pursuit of a new life. John P. Fleenor/Netflix

Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) on 'The Walking Dead'
Like Lost before it, The Walking Dead was known for killing off beloved characters, but arguably no death was as upsetting as that of Glenn Rhee's (Steven Yeun) in season 7. Comic book readers assumed the death was coming given its occurrence in the source material, but the moment came as a shock to fans who hadn't read the series — and most viewers agreed that it was surprisingly graphic, even for a zombie apocalypse show.

Roseanne Conner (Roseanne Barr) on 'The Conners'
Following Roseanne Barr's racist tweet in May 2018, the revival Roseanne was canceled by ABC. In June, the network announced they'd be bringing back The Conners, a sitcom that would follow the family without its lead character. On the series premiere of The Conners, the family found out Roseanne had died due to an overdose on opioids, which made sense since the character had struggled with a pill addiction in the past. Following the October premiere, Barr said in a statement that the death "lent an unnecessary grim and morbid dimension to an otherwise happy family show." Adam Rose/ABC/Getty Images

Oh no, they didn't!

When he's finally stabbed in the heart by little Olly (Brenock O'Connor), he dropped to the ground as a pool of blood circled around him. Though the Song of Ice and Fire books remained vague about Snow's fate, episode director David Nutter confirmed, "Jon Snow is dead." As fans predicted, however, Jon later came back to life thanks to some fire magic from Melisandre (Carice van Houten). Helen Sloan/courtesy of HBO

Alison Bailey (Ruth Wilson) on 'The Affair'
Showtime shocked audiences by killing off one if its lead characters during season 4 of The Affair. Not only was Alison's death – first ruled a suicide but cause is still up in the air – surprising, the timing was also strange, as it happened during episode eight of the penultimate season. "Ruth wanted to leave the show. That was a request, so that was decided basically before we started writing. It wasn't a discovery of any kind. That was very deliberate," cocreator and showrunner Sarah Treem told The Hollywood Reporter. "And actually, we shot all of her work first. Her whole story line was shot before we shot anything else."
