Overview

  • Executive producer Tim Long said Alice Glick is "dead as a doornail," confirming the character will not return.
  • Her final appearance came in the Nov. 16 Season 37 episode "Sashes to Sashes."
  • The episode uses her estate to launch a storyline centered on funding for a Springfield Elementary music program and a student political clash.
  • Alice previously seemed to die in an earlier season yet reappeared later, a history that fueled debate over what the show treats as canon.
  • Introduced in 1991 and first voiced by Cloris Leachman before Tress MacNeille took over, the character’s exit drew tributes and frustration from fans on social media.
