Riggs' father, William Riggs, took to Facebook to blast AMC and Gimple for “firing” his son “two weeks before his 18th birthday.”

 

“Watching Gimple fire my son 2 weeks before his 18th birthday after telling him they wanted him for the next 3 years was disappointing,” William Riggs wrote. “I never trusted Gimple or AMC but Chandler did. I know how much it hurt him. But we do absolutely know how lucky we have been to be a part of it all and appreciate all the love from fans all these years!”

 

The teen TV star told The Hollywood Reporter that his character was being killed off due to the storyline and the decision was not his own. However, in "The Walking Dead" comic books, which the show was based on, Carl is still a main character, The Wrap reported.

 

“Leaving ‘Walking Dead’ wasn't my decision,” Riggs said. It was all story-related. It made sense story-wise for it to happen for Rick and Michonne and all the other characters.”

Gotta think that Andy could have kept him around if he wanted.

Yup. Almost 48 hours later and I still don't care that Carl got bit.

This. Besides the fact that no one cares, good or bad, about Carl, it was telegraphed from a mile away.

Who?

You all probably complain about McDonald’s while in the drive thru also lol.

Mcdonald's has always sold me the same thing. They didn't start selling me a really good burger and than decided to make it crap. And no one in their drive through tells me how great it will be next time I eat there. I expect crap, now come to think of it, Walking Dead is becoming very similar. But I'll still go there.

We all have to keep the lights on at AMC.

Obviously, I don't know. Nor do you. Or anyone else. I suspect they will show us exactly how it happened in February and make Corral look like a hero. Either way, you can mark it down that Rick isn't going to be happy when he gets to the bottom of what happened.

 

We don't know because the writers of this show are terrible.

I don’t think the show has much left after the Carl drama. We will see if Lincoln sticks around but Riggs got a raw deal. Just bought a house nearby and was planning college there. Money probably broke up this band.

I think we get one more full season, and then an abbreviated final season to get to 10 total. I agree this is the beginning of the end.

If he invests wisely, he should live a fine comfortable life off of the royalties he'll get for the show.

I can see that. Start with Rick waking up and end with Rick going to sleep.
