Getting 'fired' from the show is an inaccurate thing. He signed a contract last fall for three years, but they made the choice kill him off, which is like being 'fired', but unless he did something that they had to kick him off the show, it was just a choice they made. It does heavily affect the next storyline since Carl is right at the centre of it. Everyone on a show like The Walking Dead knows they could be killed off at any time, and just because Gimple told Riggs he'll be on the show for 3 years, because that was the length of his contract, doesn't mean he's safe from being killed off. Everyone originally on the show, to my knowledge, signed a 7-year contract, but that wasn't a guarantee to be on the show for seven years. The contract merely stipulates that they are obligated to be on the show for that long. Jeffrey DeMunn wanted to be off the show after the Darabont fiasco, so he asked to be written off, and they killed him off because of it. The same thing happened with Andrea, it was just a choice they made so Holden was written off.
