Red Rock fans were left in shock after producers killed off Detective McKay – played by actor Richard Flood.
The much-loved cop met his demise in an intense episode, and fans have been left distraught.
While McKay is officially gone, new detective Rory Walsh, aka Chris Newman, has taken over as the new Red Rock hunk.
But there was no reassuring fans as their beloved McKay was killed off – from cast members to viewers, here’s what people had to say:
