9) Theresa Cullen
Oh, Theresa! At first, she seemed like the stereotypical ice queen boss but soon was given some character through her growing romance with Bernard. Unfortunately, her dalliance with him proved to be her undoing – as she investigated Ford’s secret base with him, she discovered Bernard’s true nature and got murdered for her troubles. It was a shame to see Borgen‘s Sidse Babett Knudsen go, but her death made for a huge turning point in the series. Plus, this might not be the end for her. Who knows, she could always come back in the future as a host?
