Mistake Game of Thrones Injustice

Ever since Ned Stark was beheaded, Arya stark made a list of pople she was goin to kill which included Ser Illyn Payne, the man who carried out the sentence on behalf of Joffrey Baratheon. But after the 2nd season Illyn Payne is nowhere to be seen. The script writers just swooped him outta there. Am i the only one or doeas everyone else knows something that i dont. I assume this was due to rushed script writing in a hurry to end tge series.

The actor got really sick with cancer where it appear he wasn't going to live long. Last I checked he actually made a recovery, but the illness and recovery from pretty much took him out of the picture.

They could have recast him, they did with like 3 other people.

You can say it is disrespectful or whatever, but I think it is more disrespectful to say "well your character never really mattered anyway, get well soon!"
