You'll Never Recover from These Seriously Devastating TV Character Deaths

J.T. Yorke from Degrassi: The Next Generation

Despite Degrassi’s well-known agenda of addressing any and all issues faced by teens in the modern age, fans were thrown for a loop when the show decided to kill off sweet, innocent J.T. (Ryan Cooley). J.T. had set off to tell Liberty (Sarah Barrable-Tishauer) that he loved her instead of his girlfriend Mia (Nina Dobrev) when a boy from a rivaling school stabbed him and left him to die. The senseless violence was astonishing and heartbreaking, making J.T.’s death one of the most memorable moments in the whole series.
