Dead, but not really - 24 Spoiler

[SamuraiBlue]

After watching the trailer for the new season of 24 I couldn't help but be a little shocked and slightly annoyed that they have brought back Tony Almeda from the dead. I like the character but he got a lethal injection to the neck! Stinks of desperation from the writers.

Now, I know it's not real but it is nice to have some realism. Critics say that EastEnders was dammaged forever by the return of Den as the viewers just didn't buy it. It didn't really matter when Harrold came back in Neighbours as that show has never been taken too seriously.

So the question is, who was supposed to be dead but then suddenly wasn't. From the world of TV or the real world.

1) Tony Almeda ,24
2) Den Watts, EastEnders
3) Harrold Bishop, Neighbours

Was it Dallas where they killed of character then bought him back and tried to make out the series was just one of the characters dreaming

 

[Mr. Benedict]

That was JR if I remember correctly

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

No, it was Bobby Ewing.
Got shot then came back at the end of the next series (his wife had dreamt it all!)

I never watched it, dont think I was alive at the time. It just keeps poping up on those stupid 100 best or 100 greatest and I know they mean the same thing someone tell channel 4 that

I stand corrected. Dallas was never really my cup of tea, I was a bit young at the time!

 

[C C Csiders]

Dennis Nordern, but nobody has told him yet.

 

[Mr. Benedict]

The Young Ones. They drove a bus off a cliff, but lo and behold 4 years later they recorded a single with Cliff Richard! ;)

And for 50 bonus points, can anyone tell me the title of the B side?

Nope, that was by Neil. I think it was 'All The Little Flowers Are Happy'

Thanks Ben...in that case I will try a wild stab in the dark and say ''All the little Flowers are Happy'' is the answer.

Thought of some more:

Lana Lang, Smallville (soooo pleased this hottie came back)
Starbuck, Battlestar Galactica (as above).

Two fine shows that were on TV this century

It's good but it's not right!

Kudos to you for the Countdown reference :D

As it's not that I'm going to google it and cheat.

On the same line, Chloe O'Sullivan.

And staying with the comic theme, just about every Marvel or DC character besides Uncle Ben.
