(''Lucas is stunned, realizing that "Angela" is actually BJ's grown spirit visiting them from the afterlife, but when he turns around she's gone.'')[[note]]Angela was played by Brighton Hertford, who played BJ as a child actress.[[/note]]

** At Bobbie's funeral in 2024, a MysteriousStranger named Angela Brighton showed up, saying she was an Associated Press reporter who "worked with" Bobbie. Following the funeral, Angela said she wanted to do a story about Bobbie's life, and Maxie arranged a session where Bobbie's family and friends talked to Angela about her, including Lucas (who returned for the funeral) recalling how his sister BJ called him "Champ" when he was a kid, even after her adoptive mother Bobbie objected to it. Angela seems to suddenly disappear after the meeting, and efforts to contact her by Maxie and Felicia fail, when Maxie can't find any proof of her existence on the internet, and the AP flat-out tells Felicia that no one named Angela Brighton works for them. Lucas catches Angela on her way out of town, and they have this exchange.

* The memorial for Epiphany Johnson, the former head nurse at the hospital, after Liz found out the previous day that she'd died over the phone. Made especially gut-wrenching in that it's also a tribute to her actress, Sonya Eddy, [[TheCharacterDiedWithHim who had died a few months prior]]. Also the fact that it came the day before the Nurses' Ball, an event that Epiphany would often enthusiastically take part in.

* Georgie's death, especially Maxie's reaction. Spinelli's reaction to it also deserves mention, because at that point he was Georgie's closest friend, and vise versa. Most heartbreaking is that ''he found Georgie's body'', and tried to wake her up and begged her to take a breath before completely losing it.

* The coercion into blackmail of Wendy Masters, forced by ex-boss Goria to extort money from Monica for discretion as to an affair with Ned. Amidst verbal and physical abuse from Gloria and unrequited infatuation with Ned, whose affair with her is only to keep her silence, her [[PleaseDontLeaveMe lonely]], [[TearsOfFear frightened]] sobs are absolutely heartrending. Her [[KillTheCutie eventual murder]] is practically too sad to watch.
* Oscar's death in which after he quietly passes away with Josslyn beside him, his soul leaves his body, walks to the door to find Edward and Lila waiting to escort their Great-Grandson to heaven.

* The Death of Stone from AIDS.

''(Robin does as he says, and his eye sight clears up, able to see his girlfriends face one last time)''\\

* Luke coming to the realization that he blanked out [[SelfMadeOrphan killing his parents in his youth]]. While he had no remorse at all for killing his [[AbusiveParents abusive monster of a father]], his beloved Mother was also killed when Luke accidentally hit her with his bat (aiming for his Father) and was duly devastated over it. His older sister Pat and cousin Bill found Luke catatonic next to his Father's dead body and covered it up.
