The Simpsons has abruptly killed a veteran Springfield character, and said the death will not be reversed.
The series’ latest episode, Sashes to Sashes, sees elderly Springfield resident Alice Glick collapse at the church organ she was often seen playing.
Glick has made dozens of minor appearances within The Simpsons over the years, beginning in the show’s second season which aired back in 1991. Alas, after 34 years, the organist has played her last — and according to the show’s co-executive producer Tim Long, the death is final.
