New Year's Deathwatch: 24 TV Characters We Suspect Won't Make It Out Of 2014 Alive

deathwatch2014-americanhorrorstory

<h2><em>American Horror Story: Coven</em>'s Fiona</h2>   <p>Her fast-moving cancer, plus witch hunters on the loose, means not even the fastest broom is likely to put distance between her and a dirt nap.</p>

Crucible

<h2><em>Arrow</em>'s Sara</h2>   <p>Hopefully, she will resurface in Starling City in time for her mother's imminent visit. Yet we can't help but sense that she'll die a hero's death by season's end, setting the table for big sis Laurel to carry the baton for Canary.

unnamed

<h2><em>Castle</em>'s Sen. Bracken</h2>   <p>Not to wish Jack Coleman <I>two</i> on-screen ABC deaths inside of a year's time, but it could be twisty fun to wrap up Johanna Beckett's murder storyline with the top dog's own demise -- at Kate's (too?) vengeful hand.

Dracula - Season 1

<h2><em>Dracula</em>'s Lady Jayne</h2> <p>As much as we'd like to see the vampy vampire slayer best her bed buddy, we fear lust (and perhaps love?) will be a bloody unfortunate disadvantage when the crucial moment comes.</p>    

EP302

<h2><em>Game of Thrones</em>' Theon aka Reek</h2>   <p>Before, he was just whiny. Now, he's smelly, weepy and missing a key appendage. Time to put the old boy outta his misery, no?</p>

HOUSE OF CARDS

<h2><em>House of Cards</em>' Zoe</h2>   <p>D.C. dynamo Frank Underwood aka Zoe's sometime lover aka vice presidential nominee has blood on his hands, and she's on the scent. Cannot. End. Well. (Though Janine might wanna steer clear of green bananas, as well.)

deathwatch2014-madmen

<h2><em>Mad Men</em>'s Megan</h2>   <p>Maybe last year's predictions of doom were just a wee bit premature? (Plus, Mrs. Draper's demise would make Michael Ausiello <I>very</I> happy.)</p>

Episode 110

<h2><em>Masters of Sex</em>'s Lillian</h2>   <p>The character's terminal cervical cancer diagnosis has us praying for a <I>very</I> short time jump between Seasons 1 and 2.</p>

JUDITH HOAG, MAISY STELLA, POWERS BOOTHE, CONNIE BRITTON, LENNON STELLA

<h2><em>Nashville</em>'s Lamar</h2>   <p>The jailbird's death could be the emotional event needed to pull Deacon back to a grieving Rayna's side.</p>

JOSH DALLAS, GINNIFER GOODWIN, MICHAEL COLEMAN, LEE ARENBERG

<h2><em>Once Upon a Time</em>'s Happy</h2>   <p>The dwarf's portrayer Michael Coleman recently invited blowback from not just fans but a show boss and multiple castmates when he spoke out on Twitter against the SwanQueen 'ship. Just ask Ana Lucia and Mr. Eko how such PR messes have been known to play out.

deathwatch2014-orange

<h2><em>Orange Is the New Black</em>'s Healy</h2>   <p>If a raging Chapman doesn't off him for leaving her alone with Pennsatucky, stress (his gold-digging wife!) and his diet (Funyuns, anyone?) might do the trick.</p>

Revolution - Season 2

<h2><em>Revolution</em>'s Jason</h2>   <p>Now that Neville's wife has turned up alive, the tragic death of their son -- who almost from Day 2 got boxed out of the Charlie Matheson Love Interest equation -- would serve as a fresh impetus to take down the Patriots.

deathwatch2014-scandal

<h2><em>Scandal</em>'s Charlie</h2>   <p>Should Rowan "go to war" to reclaim his B613 job, the spy org's go-to lackey could easily be among the collateral damage. But much more damning, this: Quinn's boyfriends are never long for this world!

deathwatch2014-sleepyhollow

<h2><em>Sleepy Hollow</em>'s Jenny</h2>   <p>Her troubled background, Moloch-may-care nature and proximity to Abbie (her death would hit the leftenant <I>hard</I>) make her a perfect choice to fall under the Horseman's blade.</p>

deathwatch2014-sonsofanarchy

Sons of Anarchy's Gemma Once Jax learns that his mother dearest stuck a literal fork in his wife, there'll be no saving her from the Grim Reaper.

Handle with Care

<h2><em>The Vampire Diaries</em>' Katherine</h2>   <p>The sassy vampire didn't lose any of her snark when she became a human, but thanks to the rapid aging side effects, she may lose her life.</p>

deathwatch2014-thewalkingdead

<h2><em>The Walking Dead</em>'s Beth, Sasha, Bob, Tyreese, Lizzie, Molly, Luke and Mika</h2> <p>Take your pick.</p>
