How bad would the recession hit various TV characters?

I’m thinking, of course, of characters from cancelled shows. Obviously, we can just turn on Fox on Monday nights to see how Greg House and company are doing in the economic downturn. Also, I’m mostly interested in characters from fairly recent shows. I mean, Marian & Howard Cunningham must be dead by now.

Anyway…how are your favorite TV characters affected by the economic downturn?

I expect that Lorelai & Sookie’s inn (from Gilmore girls) is close to going belly up. Buffy Summers doesn’t care; all her money is stolen anyway.

Anybody else?
