Playing Dead
Widely available, episodes weekly
Our favourite characters never really die. They live on in the hearts and minds of fans," says Michael Nathanson, who must hope that's true because his character, agent Sam Stein, was killed off in Marvel's The Punisher. He speaks to stars of Stranger Things and Halloween about what it's like to reach the last page of the script, while Nightmare on Elm Street's Amanda Wyss tells of her delight at ending up in a body bag full of eels.
