20 TV Characters Who Died In 2019
3. Dorothy Walker - Jessica Jones
Dorothy Walker is the toxic, abusive mother of former model and child star Trish and the adoptive mother of protagonist Jessica Jones. She spends her tenure across the show's 3 seasons trying to wring as much money as possible out of her daughter's fame whilst trying simultaneously to keep Jessica out of Trish's life. While her death is at the hands of a truly vile serial killer, it's forgivable not to shed many tears over her.
On the trail of said serial killer Gregory Sallinger, Jessica and Trish both believe his next target will be Agrochemical employee Mona Lee. Sallinger instead goes after Dorothy by virtue of her being the mother of both Trish and Jessica.
After torturing her intensely, he cuts her throat and leaves her in her apartment to be found by her horrified daughter. Despite Dorothy's abusive nature, Trish eventually takes revenge as Hellcat, abducting Sallinger and beating him to death in turn.
