If he kills Michelle and Fiz, I think he should be spared prison then be knighted by the Queen.

Hollyoaks:

Mercedes, Cindy and Lynsey got away with killing Dr Browning. (Sorry if this has already been said!)

Is the FM referring to Dirty Den's second death, I wonder?

Except it wasn't Sam, or Zoe either - it was Chrissie, as the audience saw and later seen known to be the case by the police, as they arrested her for it.

So, not Sam.

Although he was arrested, he escaped. Silas is on the run, so he technically got away with murder.

I loved Kim Medcalfe's Sam. I wish they'd bring her back. They could do what Roseanne did with Becky and just keep alternating the actresses. Daniella Westbrook could never have carried off that storyline. Can you really picture her digging up a corpse?

I'm pretty sure that Louise didn't murder Ray either and that his death was self-defense. Carl didn't intentionally murder his father either: that was in the heat of the moment. Tracy was jailed as is Stacey so you can't really say they got away with it. So far, Nick is the only ones that got away with cold-blooded murder. I believe that Ronnie killed Carl in the heat of the moment.”

Janine murdered Michael. He was in no position to harm her.

A cold blooded planned murder.

No - there's no way she could have carried that off.

Kim Medcalf was great with that, and then Daniella Westbrook later coming back as Sam was rubbish.

Just so Daniella could come back - it ruined Sam and ruined Sam being previously in it with the Dirty Den stuff.

The Kim version of Sam was great In pulling that off, in 2005. 2010 (I think it was) - was rubbish in comparison.

Yes but she got out on a ridiculous technicality.

Technically he didn't get away with it but Richard Hillman decided to end things on his terms rather than do time for murder.

Back to the OP's question, the only people I can think of that have killed on screen and got away with it without the police or a court case or being murdered themselves are -

Jake Moon - EE (even though his fate was left hanging)

Cheryl Brady - HO (the only one in recent times who has actually got away with murder and gone to live happy ever after)

After watching her in HO as a devious dangerous business woman I do believe she could have pulled it off. DW is a very talented actress it's just the writing wasn't very good. I personally thought it was good but can see why people may have not liked it.

I seem to recall Eric Pollard killing his wife the night of the Emmerdale plane crash, which was how come he never got caught?

It was presumed she died in the crash I think.

Fair enough.

Just replying (and giving - it's only my opinion) to the previous poster's reply to and about Sam being a murderer.

DW was fine in EE in previous stints - just do think only in my opinion - that the writing wasn't so great the last time under Kirkwood, It was just all about the inevitable and predictable Ricky reunion - which wasn't what Sam was about prior to that, especially when Medcalf had previously been in the role.

Its fairly well believed that Eric Pollard murdered his wife Elizabeth in Emmerdale and he's never been brought to book. Also - I believe Eric shot another character earlier on in the series (I think it was someone visiting from overseas) and he got away with that too. I think Phil Mitchell has got away with the murder (or manslaughter) of the tramp asleep in one of the cars when he set light to the car lot and of course Janine got away with the killing of Barry. Tracey got away with Charlie's murder (or her conviction was overturned so she could make a return to the Street). Barry Grant got away with murdering Terry's wife in Brookside.

Yes his wife Elizabeth - Michael and Elsa's mother. He killed her the night of the plane crash and she was assumed to be one of the victims of that. Very fortunate for him!

Yes and no. He got banged up for killing Louise (while showing Mitzeee where he'd buried Louise's body) but he got away with killing Sean (and Dale - the guy who actually died, and everyone thought was Warren, when Claire set fire to The Loft, if you follow me).

Yes, this was my first thought. They actually confessed to it too, but it was covered up by SuperCop Sam.

That's reminded me - Browning himself got away with killing Claire, technically. He ended up being killed himself (by wifey Mercedes) not long after doing the deed though.

Oh yeah she killed her dad, and Brendan took the blame.

Paul Robinson (Neighbours) got away with killing Gus Cleary. Gus burned to death when Paul burnt down the Lassiter's complex in 2004. When Gus' sister kidnapped Declan in 2007, hoping to get him to pay, Paul 'fessed up to the police, but due to suffering with amnesia after a brain tumour op, he wasn't considered a reliable witness, so walked free.

Probably the only Neighbours character to ever get away with murder.

Everybody else does seem to receive some kind of karmic payback whether it is being falsely accused and imprisoned for something else or dying.

There was Louise in Emmerdale but arhuably that was self defence.
