I See Dead People

Characters who have appeared prominently in TV shows, despite the fact that they're deceased (possible SPOILERS within):

Despite being found dead (wrapped in plastic) in the pilot episode of Twin Peaks, Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) appeared several times throughout the series, mainly during flashbacks as Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) tried to discover who killed her. Sheryl Lee also had a recurring role as Laura's dark haired, spectacle wearing (and ill-fated) cousin Madeleine "Maddy" Ferguson.

Although Desperate Housewives began with her suicide, Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) has featured continuously throughout the series, providing narration from beyond the grave for almost every episode, while also occasionally appearing in person during flashbacks and dream sequences.

Even though Dexter Morgan's (Michael C. Hall) adoptive father Harry Morgan (James Remar) died several years before the start of the first series, he has appeared in almost every episode of Dexter so far, first during flashbacks and later in Dexter's imagination offering him advice... which Dexter mostly ignored.
