The only one for me was Matthew Crawley in Downton Abbey. I don't recall now exactly why, but reading the plot overview, I think it was because the aristocrat/commoner tension was what held my interest. The show was mostly a period soap opera with some social commentary elements. With his death, it felt like losing the drama and keeping the melodrama. (Although that plot line was mostly wrapped up by the end of the 3rd series, too.) I don't recall being angry, or deciding not to watch further, I just never got around to it.

Same. Not an intentional drop for me but had no interest to continue after that and didn't resume when the next season started.
