La Femme Nikita killed of Birkoff in the middle of (last full) Season Four; altho at the time it was filmed I believe they hadn't been told the show wouldn't be renewed but the smell was in the air as the writers desperately tired to show the PTB how "versatile" the show could be.
The actor (Matthew Ferguson) actually remained on the show, as the convenient long-lost twin (EW EW EW). Although Michael and Nikita were The Leads, the show really was an ensemble piece with 6 main characters, one of which was Birkoff.
Madeline (Alberta Watson) was killed in the Season Four finale, when the show was cancelled (we won't talk about the abortion that was the short 5th Season, shall we?)

What about writing off/killing Edith Bunker?
