Your favourite tragic TV character

[farmerinthecity]

He was a gambling addict. He never really took his situation seriously though as he probably thought as he was mates with Tony he would be ok. It wasn’t said explicitly but it was hinted at.

Tony took his sons car and gave it to meadow afair

[Bisto]

Knew he had some addiction issue ,wasn’t sure of it was booze or gambling …how did it end for him ?I can’t remember

Saddest scene in The Wire for me, unclear whether Michael remembers or not, or doesn’t want to.

Poor aul Dukie. He was dealt a really shit hand.

[neilld]

A gentle young fella

A gentle young fella

Yeah. A decent sort. Just before that he went looking for a job in a few shops. No one would hire him cos he wasn’t 16. He came so close to dragging himself out of the gutter a few times. That was the most tragic part of it.

Namonds mother used make him wait outside whilst letting all the other kids into the house. That was particularly cruel

[farmerinthecity]

I think he headed somewhere to ‘dry out’ or whatever the gambling equivalent is. He lost the shop as you mentioned.

It’s sketchy so I’m open to correction.

[Piles_Hussain]

That was it. He lost the shop and gambled all the young lad’s college money away as well.
Jake from Jake and the Fatman stepped in to pay for the college though.
Not before getting a sneaky shift in with Carm, mind.

I’m a bit unsure myself, did he not join some crazy online sports and agri forum and was re-invented as a guidance counselor. Maybe I’m mixing him up with someone else…

Bubbles for me. He may have had a redemption arc but I still think he counts as a tragic character. His life was pretty shit for the vast majority of the show.

Dukie, as a mini Bubbles, is probably even more tragic but not as fleshed out. (if Dukie was to undergo a redemption arc in 40 years time, it’d still have been a pretty shit run)

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

Poor Larry never catches a break

[farmerinthecity]

Dukie getting in with that crowd on the horse and cart at the end was so awful. The smack takes the pain away of course.
