The whole franchise lost some key characters this year. Carl & Jesus on the main show, Nick & Madison on Fear and Dwight in the comics. From all of them only Jesus and Dwight's deaths progresses the story (the introduction of the Whisperers and respectively the big set up for the Commonwelth arc).
Other than that the Grimes & Clark dynamics were butchered since Carl and Madison's deaths were not needed, especially Carl's since the audience will never get over the Riggs fiasco both as an actor and character. I was never a big fan of the Madison character but Kim Dickens deserved better than to be kicked out just because the production wanted to reboot the show. And actors like Tom Payne and Frank Dillane wanted out considering that they were not pleased as actors with their characters.
From what I know Frank wanted out since season 3 but Tom Payne was not happy about his character for years. They could have used him more at least in season 7 since Daryl was a prisoner and traveling between communities, such a shame considering that Tom even trained a lot for the role. But I'm glad that he was happy with his exit.
Overall 2019 is looking better since Clementine's story will be finished after the Skybound & Kirkman fan service, the tv shows should have a better shaped story in seasons 10/5 and the comics will start their biggest arc.
