13 Characters Perfectly Written Off TV Shows

Characters going away from the plot is either a ‘yay’ moment or an ‘Oh-No!’ moment for the audience. Either way, the exit of characters that have been integral to the plot have to be written off the TV shows perfectly, or else they worsen the plot and the character arc. More often than not, characters aren’t written off so well. So we thought of compiling a list together of characters that were written off perfectly from TV shows.

These were some of the characters who were perfectly written off from TV shows. Some left us feeling devastated while some had a happy ending. They were still well-written and justified.
