Best of 2016: Top 10 TV Character Deaths8 of 10
3. Abbie Mills "Sleepy Hollow"
Date: April 8, 2016 (airdate)
Obituary: Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie) , lieutenant sheriff, Witness, sister, and co-protagonist, died when she stepped into Pandora's box. Mills bravely sacrificed herself so that her fellow Witness Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and her sister Jenny (Lydie Greenwood) could live. While he and Jenny hoped they could save Abbie by getting Pandora to release her soul, she was really, truly dead. Abbie's spirit had a final visit with Crane in which she made a statement that contradicted their egalitarian on-screen partnership: "Our job was to carry you forward. My job is done." In addition to her sibling and Ichabod, Abbie leaves behind a very angry fanbase who cannot believe that the show plans to continue without one of its two lead characters.
