Springfield’s first church organist, Alice Glick. And the Lord sent forth a mighty tempest that thundered like, “Come on now, Alice. That’s a bit much.” Alice.

Surprisingly, this was Alice’s second death on The Simpsons, as the character was seemingly killed by a rogue robot seal during season 23 of the long-running cartoon, appearing afterwards as both alive and a ghost, depending on the needs of the episode. This time, however, executive producer Tim Long confirms that Alice has said goodbye for good, telling People in a November 18th statement, quote, “In a sense, Alice, the organist, will live forever through the beautiful music she made. But in another, more important sense, yep, she’s dead as a doornail.” The character first made her debut back in season 2 episode Three Men in a Comic Book, where she was originally voiced by Chloris Leechman and then later voiced by Tres McNeel.
