For zome reason tney overruled him and put in the awful Kat storyline. I wonder if thats why he left the series?

sorry but no. JDF's "Aww man" and his signature cry is pretty much all he did ad-libbing-wise also he wasn't their poster child until he came back since kids were refusing to eat unless he came back. Tommy/Kimberly's romance was already set in stone regardless of who Tommy was. JDF and A.J. had no control over their characters' romance same thing with Kimberly breaking up with him and putting him with Kat. It didn't matter what he or Catherine thought on the subject in fact she wasn't a fan of it herself but they have no control over what the writers and Producers decide to do. JDF has went on record as saying that he wanted to leave earlier in Zeo but the Producers went with the threat of "if you leave then we'll fire the others" so they came up with a compromise. JDF was just burnt out due to how much he was working.

They hired him for his martial arts ability first.
They did also use the fact JDF was forgetful and put that in Tommy's character. But ultimately the writers decided to do that and it wasn't some adlib.
Tommy and Kim was done by the writers. Just like Tommy and Kat. And of course was a result of Amy finishing up on the series. And to say Tommy left the series because of the Kat storyline is pure fiction. JDF wanted to leave the series because he felt like it was time to move on. I am sure he had no problem with the Kat Romance.

exactly in fact there are cases where writers (or Producers) might insert something into the script if they hear it from an actor. Alpha 5 as far as we're aware of didn't have a catchphrase until someone heard Richard say it once and it stuck. Some shows are like that even Full House in fact in most scripts it was written for D.J. to say "Oh my God" but she never wanted to use the Lord's name in vain so she replaced it with "Oh mylanta" it was never intended to be a catchphrase for her but she caused it to become one since one day the writers finally caught on and just threw it in there

exactly opinions are just that your own opinion there's no solid basis to prove whether it would result in a fact or not but facts are just that absolutely cold facts that you can't deny or argue.

he was pretty much just an actor and it wasn't his business who the writers wanted to pair his character with since it wasn't up to him

ad-libbing wouldn't replace writers and who said they don't allow ad-libbing? Saban leaves it to the Producers to decide on what they'll allow they don't care either way as long as they get the job done.
