OT: Dana Tyler signs off after 34 years on NYC CBS 2 News

likely age related forced out. The other guy Brennen also was removed

Time passes by quick. I remember when she was hired and she worked with anchors like Jim Jensen, Michelle Marsh, and Reggie Harris....that seems like lifetimes ago. We all grow up with these people. Might be different for the younger posters but watching nightly news was a big thing for the older folk. Always preferred Dana over Sue Simmons

On another note Chuck Scarbough just passed the 50 year mark at WNBC

Kaity Tong is still doing Sunday News on WPIX Channel 11 and is 76 and recently had a lung cancer diagnosis despite never smoking and she has been in NYC at various stations for 43 years.

OT: Fictional Characters Whose Death You Still Haven't Gotten Over

What fictional characters, be they human or otherwise, had memorable deaths which still bug you to this day? Could be from books, movies, plays, TV, whatever.

To start things off, I offer the following:

1) Col. Henry Blake from MASH. Talk about an unexpected plot twist!

2) Hercule Poirot from Agatha Christie's Poirot. C'mon Agatha, couldn't you have just let him retire?

3) Adrianna from The Sopranos. Drea de Matteo has said that was the hardest scene she ever had to do - because Stevie Van Zandt (whose character was her killer) just couldn't bring himself to do it. She had to coach and encourage him.

4) The old man's wife from the animated movie "Up". If a cartoon can bring tears to your eyes, this is the one.

5) Jack Woltz's horse in The Godfather. James Caan once remarked how odd it was that with all the human beings killed in the movie, this is the death that is most remembered.

So... what'cha got?
