Interestingly, Andrea in the graphic novels is basically post-S3 Michonne in the show. She doesn't die during that storyline, it's her that gets together with Rick eventually, and she has loads of other storylines that were merged into the Michonne character. Apparently the actress expected to be staying on for several more years and wasn't too happy when they changed it in S3 and killed her off
. Much like poor Chandler Riggs (Carl) who remained a major character throughout the graphic novels and expected to be on the show until the end... and even picked his University and bought property based on the filming location...

Ana Lucia was an example of this, she had a lot of personality and was quite a good relatable villain, whilst being a strong leader that was heavy flawed. In just half a season she showed more personality than half the cast, yet they decided to kill her off, she wasn’t meant to be likeable, not everyone on a tv show should be)

Ana Lucia was killed off because Michelle Rodriguez only wanted to sign on for one year maximum, so they agreed the character would be killed off before she even started filming. I agree she was one of Lost's better characters, and probably their best female character, but there's not much to do when the person you've hired doesn't want to stay on (and made that clear from the start).
