Edna Krabappel to be 'retired' from Simpsons after her voice actor dies
 
Quote:
As Edna Krabappel on The Simpsons, Marcia Wallace may be the only 4th-grade teacher to have the same student for 24 years. Before that, she was beloved as Carol Kester, the lovelorn, wisecracking secretary on The Bob Newhart Show.

Wallace, who was also a breast cancer survivor for 28 years, has died at age 70, according to the showrunner of The Simpsons. “I was tremendously saddened to learn this morning of the passing of the brilliant and gracious Marcia Wallace,” producer Al Jean said in a statement to EW. “She was beloved by all at The Simpsons and we intend to retire her irreplaceable character.”

It has become a sad tradition of the extremely long-running show to simply cease using characters whose voice actors pass away. The first instance was when Phil Hartman died in 1998, and the show retired his sleazy attorney Lionel Hutz and desperate pretty-boy actor Troy McClure.

The program, which began in 1989, had recently announced it planned to end the life of a veteran character. Producers previously killed off Ned Flanders’ wife Maude in 2000. But Jean said today that Mrs. Krabappel was not one they had planned to eliminate. “Earlier we had discussed a potential storyline in which a character passed away,” Jean said. “This was not Marcia’s Edna Krabappel. Marcia’s passing is unrelated and again, a terrible loss for all who had the pleasure of knowing her.”

that comment is so irrelevant. it is neither the time or place to air your criticisms here

Verbal 26-10-2013 05:44 PM
They could just not show the character anymore, nobody would either notice nor care.

Tom4784 26-10-2013 05:46 PM
Such a sad situation, Edna was a great character.

Not saying about the rules. Just about decency and respect rather than criticising a show. Pathetic :hmph:

Shaun 26-10-2013 08:11 PM
It's an online thread, I'm hardly pissing on her grave. I even said R.I.P. you hypersensitive prat.

Goodness... rest in peace Marcia Wallace; Edna Krabappel was a fantastic character!

karl100589 26-10-2013 08:52 PM
Wasn't Edna one of the favourites to be killed off? Maybe the producers knew that Marcia wasn't very well and planned this as the way to write the character out.

Very sad news though it has to be said :(

I think that chalkboard tribute says it all

BBfanUSA 11-03-2014 10:21 PM
They had another tribute to Mrs. Krabappel.

Ned was having a daydream about Tangoing with her and then he said "I'm going to miss her", Nelson was watching him from the window, he first does his iconic laugh and then said "I'm going to miss her too".

Basically they officially killed her off. :(
