Kill Off
The killing off of a character is a device in fiction, whereby a character dies, but the story continues. The term, frequently applied to television, film, video game, anime, manga and chronological series, often denotes an untimely or unexpected death motivated by factors beyond the storyline. In productions featuring actors, the unwillingness or inability of an actor to continue with the production for financial or other reasons (including illness, death, or producers' unwillingness to retain an actor) may lead to that character being "killed off" or phased out from the storyline in another way.

Doyle wanted to write no more Sherlock Holmes stories, feeling that they were distracting him from more se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
