Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds Die

[TenEightyOne]

Actress Carrie Fisher has suffered a serious heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles.

She is currently in a "very serious" condition receiving ventilation in an LA hospital.

2016 has been a grim year, I really hope it gets no grimmer.

Last update said she was doing better and "stable". 👍

Thank god that is a relief. I was absolutely frightened at first

 

[BobK]

She's stable but still in the ICU.

I almost choked on my coffee this morning when I heard a reference to the reactions of "other hollywood heavyweights" to the news.

...Well, it's good to hear she's doing better. Too many noteworthy people passed on this year, and it'd be sadder still to lose Carrie as well.

 

[Blitz24]

If they lost her.... well, that would throw a huge wrench into Episode 8.

They'd just have to CGI her face on a Peter Cushing body double.

They've probably filmed most of it already.

Re-shoots aside, VIII wrapped filming a while ago.

Not sure if it's true. Just heard on the radio she passed away. R.I.P. if its true.

A quick google search shows several articles posted within the hour confirming.

RIP Carrie what a horrible year...

 

[TenEightyOne]

A terrible end to a terrible year

 

[The Bman]

The Grim Reaper sure wrote up a hell of a list this year.

 

[McLaren]

Heart breaking news.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Oh come on 2016. You've stepped so far across the line with killing all these famous legends that you've ended up as the most hated thing of the entire population of Earth. You might as well just end all of humanity on New Year's Eve the way you're going.

RIP Carrie Fisher.

2016 has been absolutely brutal.

Maybe the excesses of the 70's, 80's & 90's catching up with them all however.

RIP Carrie Fisher

 

[Sting]

What the heck? I mean only yesterday I was reading that she was in stable condition..

RIP Carrie

 

[Pupik]

Oh **** this is terrible.

I just took my daughter to see Rogue One last night, and now she's gone.

Spoiler

Nice to see Leia one last time on the screen as the torch passed from heroine archetype to another.

 

[OZZYGT]

This has caused a great disturbance in the Force...

RIP Carrie Fisher.

 

[Terronium-12]

My heart just dropped.

 

[Kryption]

omg, I was going to see rogue one today too, now it will be an even bigger deal to see.

 

[Robin]

So how many more are going to be taken between now and new years eve? Damn you 2016, seriously!

Been one of the most miserable Christmases and years as a whole, so many bad things happening in the world. Such a terrible shame, rest in peace Carrie.

 

[Tired Tyres]

What is it about 20 bleeding 16? RIP your Highness. You will be missed, but remembered with fondness.

 

[GT5Power]

What the actual 🤬 2016? How many stars have you taken? RIP Carrie, may the Force be with you.

I sure hope 2017 is a lot better than this brutality...

 

[Nexus]

RIP Princess Leia.

 

[20832]

God damn it, 2016! Stop, just stop!

RIP, may the force be with you!

 

[Populuxe]

I'm starting to think if 2016 doesn't take you, you weren't worth taking.
