10 TV Characters Whose Fates Are Never Resolved

5. Gabriel Dimas - Six Feet Under

In a TV show so utterly immersed in death and depression, there's perhaps no character more tragic than Gabriel Dimas (Eric Balfour), Claire Fisher's (Lauren Ambrose) on-off boyfriend during Six Feet Under's first two seasons.

Gabe is, to be kind, a magnet for trouble, struggling with drug addiction throughout the show and eventually turning to crime, to say nothing of the abusive home he came from and the shocking incident where his younger brother accidentally shot himself dead with their father's pistol.

After Claire breaks off contact with him early in season two, Gabe is never physically seen again. However, in the season three finale Claire does imagine a vision of Gabe, who she believes has killed himself in order to be with his brother.

Though the vision seems to bring Claire some closure, Gabe's fate was never actually confirmed for the audience one way or another. Though Gabe was certainly set on a dangerous path the last time we saw him, it's possible he turned his life around, right?
