The Maude Flanders rumor (spoiler, of course)
Sherm456
my favorite character -- we hardly see her -- but how the hell are they going
to make a funny episode out of two boys being orphaned? It will probably be a
pathetic episode, where we're to believe a bunch of riots, violence, and Homer
getting bashed in the head 100 times is hilarious. If Maggie Roswell did
quit, they can find someone to replace her. So Maude's voice might sound a
little different. Big deal.
If anyone who has any control of the show is reading this, please trash the
death episode, if it exists, and go back to the drawing board.

Well, they wouldn't technically be orphaned, but point taken.

Big deal? I'd rather have all of her characters put in the background with no
speaking parts than to have her voice replaced.

REO
admit that as a character she has done little to contribute towards the
show, it would be a tasteless thing to happen. Tasteless because of the
effect it would have on Ned, Rod and Todd's characters. How could Ned ever
be the same again if he lost his dear wife - he obviously adores her. I
like to think that one of the reasons he's a little screwy, in an endearing
way, is because of his happy home life coupled with his strong faith in God.
Maude Flanders' death would destroy Ned and would probably shake his
religious beliefs to bits. As the character his fans have all learnt to
love, he wouldn't exist anymore.
If the blood-hungry writers are baying for a victim, why don't they chose
the unluckiest (and most annoying) man in Springfield - GIL ?!!

The pathetic salesman (introduced in Realty Bites, and seen in Natural Born
Kissers, Screaming Yellow Honkers, etc.) who's based off Shelley Levene from
"Glengarry Glen Ross." He does indeed deserve to get the boot. However, my
vote for the unluckiest character in Springfield would have to be Hans Moleman.

Well, someone has been hired to take the place of Maggie Roswell.
That "scrap" obviously has to have a purpose. I hardly believe Maude would
die. But actually, if she did, wouldn't it be interesting if a competant
writer who remembered the emotional side of Simpsons wrote it and decided to
make up for the serious blunder that was 'Round Springfield and actually
made it a moving and powerful episode?

The interesting thing about Hans Moleman is, he was always funny
because he was an unsuspecting victim. Very blind about the world. Whereas,
Gil's whole gimmick is that he exudes bad luck, and, after a few painful
moments of obviousness, he gets that bad luck. The last time I ever found
him funny was in Realty Bites. Why they decided to make him a recurring
character I'll never know.

be brutally run over and splattered by a drunk Barney. The police would not
be able to figure out the crime. And for all of you who like the character
of Maude, she could still come around once a year in the halloween episode.
Another good idea for the death episode would be to reveal a secret life of
Maude during the police investigation.

I don't know about that. There was that time he killed her and buried her
in his backyard...

From the snpp capsules:
Todd: Daddy, where's Mommy? We miss her.
Ned: Mommy...had to go away. She's with God now.
Rod+Todd: Yay! Can we go there too?
Ned: [remorsefully] Soon enough.
Rod+Todd: Yay!
Bart: [gasps] He's going to kill Rod and Todd too.
That's horrible!...in principle.

It came out in 1965 and starred Kim Novak. I can almost see Homer
racing to the video store to get it. I have some pictures at
