    Transparent – kill off Maura Pfefferman to get Jeffrey Tambor out of the picture?

    This is Us. Uggggh, this show. Let’s see, they’ve tackled: terminal cancer, fire/cardiac arrest, obesity, alcoholism x 2, infant death, miscarriage, infant abandonment… I’m surely missing something. What other grief porn do they have left to show us? Well if it’s cancer again, maybe leukemia and one of Randall’s kids. They can spare one. And Sterling is a shoo in for another Emmy. Done!

    Tv show: This Is Us

    Character: either Miguel, but he’s so minor who would even care. Maybe Mandy’s character (present day version) since they don’t really have much to do with her now that we know how jack died, how she felt about it and how her life’s turned out. But my best bet is on Toby, kate’s fiance. He’s a little too perfect of a character, seems like the kind of thing this show likes to do; build a character up, make them really likeable and then kill them off.

    This is either This is us, or the Blind side.

    While my initial thought was This is Us as well, I would hate to think that a show, so innovative and wonderfully written, would have to resort to this scenario again. Regardless of the character, I’d be sadly disappointed.

    The blind says pivotal character, not main character so I’m going with Toby and hope I’m correct. Can’t stand that guy.

    • aaamtam says

      February 22, 2018 at 10:37 pm

      I hope it’s him too. Honestly they’ve made him the character that always does and says the perfect thing and it just feel really disingenuous, and annoying. Also the writers love killing off “lovable” characters.

    This is Us.

    Justin Hartley’s character. (I don’t watch, I don’t know his name on show)

  15. xphile101 says

    Gotta be This Is Us (although I find it incredibly overrated, except for Sterling K. Brown). Not sure who they’d kill off, though. Could be any one of them.

  16. CSLear says

    February 22, 2018 at 2:44 am

    A pivotal character being one that sets the story in motion, the first thing that comes to mind is Dr. Katowski who suggested the adoptions in This is Us, especially since they brought his character back for the most recent episode.

    • CSLear says

      February 22, 2018 at 2:45 am

      *adoption, not plural.

    This is Us
    Rebecca (Mandy Moore)

  20. RaspberryBeret76 says

    February 21, 2018 at 7:59 pm

    Oh no! This is obviously about “This is Us.”
    The pivotal character has to be Miguel or Toby. (The writers can’t kill off Kate, Randall, Kevin or the Mom. After Jack’s death, viewers would never survive. Plus, the show would lose too much of its spark.)

  21. pjswimmer says

    February 21, 2018 at 7:38 pm

    Beth on This Is Us

  22. gc02ef says

    Hopefully not This is Us, but if so, maybe Miguel

    February 21, 2018 at 3:56 pm

    I am getting a This is Us vibe from this, and I suspect it will be Beth! Noooooooooooooo! Kill Toby or Kate instead!

  27. More_Cowbell says

    February 21, 2018 at 3:13 pm

    I’m guessing that Sterling K Brown (Randall) might be ready to hop off and do something else.

    I like all the characters, though I guess that Kate is probably my least favorite just for her sad-sack story lines.

    February 21, 2018 at 2:32 pm

    TV Show: Modern Family.
    Character: the one played by Ed O’Neill, who wants to retire.
    I would off his annoying wife, Sofia Vergara. Her over-the-top histrionics drive me bonkers!

    [Optional] Character on that show you would like to get rid of? can’t decide

  35. gilora says

    February 21, 2018 at 1:59 pm

    This Is Us. Mandy Moore’s character, Rebecca Pearson.

    The show is so overwrought that each character seems the same after a while. Any of them could go.

  36. ivy3499 says

    February 21, 2018 at 1:49 pm

    I’d say This Is Us but they already did that.

    • tellmemore says

      February 22, 2018 at 3:51 pm

      That’s what I was thinking, too. Randall’s biological dad already died of cancer.

  37. FiyahHotFlashy says

    February 21, 2018 at 1:37 pm

    I don’t about the character but I would love to get rid of Kate…annoying AF!

    • TrishluvsGossip says

      February 23, 2018 at 1:52 am

      I would rather it be Toby. *cringe* They already did the terminal cancer thing with William though so I doubt they would go there with another character unless it was a minor one like Kevin’s ex wife.

  43. Holleva says

    February 21, 2018 at 12:51 pm

    Jeremy Piven from Wisdom of the crowd.
    Too many sexual allegations about him.

    Never watched it.

    Could be anyone! Going to go with Miguel.

    Milo Ventimiglia – This is Us
    Not huge surprise, since the show foreshadows him dying anyways

    • Delightful says

      February 22, 2018 at 8:10 am

      What? He’s already dead, and they showed his death in the episode after the superbowl, plus we knew it had something to do with the fire and not cancer for a really long time.

    • blueelephants says

      February 22, 2018 at 8:43 am

      He died from a heart attack after the house fire. It’s alrea been shown.

    • xoxovem says

      February 22, 2018 at 9:38 am

      His character already died or cardiac arrest due to smoke inhalation.

    • TrishluvsGossip says

      February 23, 2018 at 1:53 am

      Milo/Jack died of smoke inhalation last week! lol.

  47. jenjene73 says

    February 21, 2018 at 12:36 pm

    This Is Us – Kate.
    She’s my least favorite character on the show, and they never seem to have good storylines for her, so I think she’s the most likely to go.

  48. dittobelle says

    February 21, 2018 at 12:35 pm

    Extremely popular, less than three years… gotta be This Is Us.

    I’m guessing Randall’s wife will be the cancer victim.

  49. sabrina325 says

    This is us?

    Toby

    Miguel

  51. sowhatyo says

    February 21, 2018 at 12:16 pm

    This is Us
    Rebecca — or Beth, if they want to be extra cruel
    (Because they haven’t made me cry enough, apparently…)

    • ninanicole says

      February 22, 2018 at 1:08 pm

      Don’t even say such a thing!! If they did something to Beth..

  52. GottaLoveGossip says

    February 21, 2018 at 12:15 pm

    Show: This is Us

    Character: The mother, because they can still have plenty of flashbacks with her.

    Optional: Would love to see Kevin and Kate get the boot. They don’t have much depth, and their stories are kind of boring. Randall and his family are the best part of that show.

  53. OoLaLana says

    February 21, 2018 at 12:11 pm

    This is Us.

    Toby.

  54. calibg21 says

    February 21, 2018 at 12:03 pm

    The only show that comes to mind is This is Us, but I can’t see them going down the terminal cancer route with another character…

  55. badgerette85 says

    February 21, 2018 at 12:00 pm

    Possible- This Is Us (Miguel?) or
    The Good Doctor.

  56. pancakephanny says

    February 21, 2018 at 11:58 am

    I’m assuming This is Us and Mandy Moore’s character?

  57. xoxovem says

    February 21, 2018 at 11:54 am

    TV Show: This Is Us

    Character: Rebecca

    [Optional] Character on that show you would like to get rid of?: Toby’s not that great.

    • KatarinaJ says

      February 22, 2018 at 3:32 pm

      Bc they can kill off older Rebecca and still keep her for flashbacks.

    • felicia says

      February 22, 2018 at 8:37 pm

      Aww I LOVE Toby!

  58. gemini1993 says

    February 21, 2018 at 11:40 am

    the walking dead
    i think theyre killing off morgan (lennie james)
    get rid of the whole show at this point killing of carl was stupid

    • gemini1993 says

      February 21, 2018 at 6:46 pm

      i clearly cant read because it said less than 3 seasons… so its probably someone on this is us

    • monkeyman420 says

      February 22, 2018 at 1:37 pm

      Isn’t Morgan going to FTWD. I thought thats what they were doing with him to large fanfare?

    • jasper says

      February 22, 2018 at 9:44 pm

      @Monkeyman- Morgan will only have one arc on Fear. It is still several years behind main show, per the timeline. Morgan meets up with Rick & co pretty soon on the timeline, so he’s not staying long.

      The “three years” thing rules out Lauren Cohen, as well, who just signed onto another series as she did not have a contract for TWD s9. So much for Mayor Maggie and baby?
