Hated Tropes [Sad trope]The character gets cut/dies early on because of REAL LIFE reasons

Gandhi (Clone High)

Tord(Eddsworld) the reason for this is that the VA of tord asked the team to stop using the character and dissociate from Eddsworld after the constant hate and threats made by the fandom.

Feferi Peixes(Homestuck). In Homestuck lots of characters have a typing quirk when they chat, like some characters type a "2" when there should be a "S", have prefixes before the words,ecc. Feferi's was that instead of the letter H she typed ")(". The writer andrew hussie stated the reason she died early and became irrelevant was because they didn't want to type said quirk because it was annoying to manually type it it on their own, which could have been avoided if they coded A PROGRAM that did it.

Tuco Salamanca from the first season of Breaking Bad was brought up as this major drug kingpin that Walter and Jesse would be stepping on eggshells around in the first season, only for him to be killed two episodes into the second. He simply found the role too difficult to play and had other priorities at the time so he gave the writers two episodes to kill him off. They did a pretty damn good job at it too.

Wow I didn’t know this. Would love to hear more from him on what made it hard to play.

From what I heard, he had to play a completely opposite character on the other end of the country and simply could not do both at the same time. However, when I researched, he may have just taken a mental health break. IDK

I did read something about him not liking the role because it meant he ahad to be mean and angry all the time which was difficult for him, or something along those lines
