selenakDay 25 ~ Good riddance: Who have you not been sorry to see killed off?
Welllll, if the show is based on history, however freely, who lives and who dies isn't really a surprise (unless it's a Tarantino AU), except for the OCs. And the show uses very few of those in significant roles. Then there's the twenty plus years time jump between seasons 1 and 2, which also ensures most of the previous cast isn't around anymore. Also, even if I take it as a completely invented tale in its own right, divorced from history, and judge the character deaths as if the scriptwriters had completely invented them (which btw in a few cases they did), I can't say anyone died after outstaying their welcome in the narrative.
By which I mean: even the characters I disliked and was meant to dislike, and whose demise I certainly wasn't sorry about, shouldn't have died earlier than they did on the show in my opinion. So basically, the answer is: several people, but I wouldn't have wanted to miss them before they kicked it, which isn't quite what I suspect the question is looking for.
