'Grey's Anatomy' wasn't the only show that killed off a major character in 2026 — and many of those fictional deaths still have fans upset
Grey's Anatomy wasn't the only show that killed off a major character in 2026 — and many of those fictional deaths still have fans upset. During the March 2026 episode of the hit ABC series, Lucas and Simone were providing Katie with at-home hospice care as her health declined.
Lucas and Katie grew closer while reminiscing on what could have happened between them if she hadn't gotten sick. She ultimately died when he was at the hospital getting more supplies, which prevented him from saying goodbye. Earlier in the month, Yellowstone's spinoff Marshals surprised fans by revealing that Monica died off screen after battling cancer. 'Kayce had such a perfect ending in Yellowstone,' showrunner Spencer Hudnut told TVLine at the time. 'His dreams had finally come true. As we were trying to figure out how to tell the next chapter in Kayce's story, it felt like he really needed to be shaken out of that. Unfortunately, tragedy tends to find Kayce, so something bad was going to happen for him one way or the other. It just sort of played out that it was going to be Monica.'After being on NCIS since 2008, Rocky Carroll's fan-favorite character was killed off in the 500th episode. Vance was shot by a CID agent before dying from the fatal wound. NCIS sent Vance out on a high with a montage of him through the years with Gibbs , Tony , Ziva , Ducky , McGee, Abby , Bishop and the current NCIS team.Erin During a March 2026 episode of the hit CBS show, Maggie's first arrest — serial slasher Ray DiStefano — kidnapped her sister, Erin .
