DID MARGE SIMPSON REALLY DIE? BELOVED CARTOONS SEE CHANGES AND LOSSES, FROM FAMILY GUY TO PEPPA PIG

TV characters, both real and fictional, become a part of our lives. We often grow attached to them, and sudden changes can leave us feeling disoriented and confused. Take, for example, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Peppa Pig.

The Simpsons have been friends to thousands of children and adults worldwide, a constant presence in our homes since the 1990s. They've watched us grow, and we've grown up alongside them. But a recent episode cast doubt on everything we thought we knew about Springfield's yellow family.

An episode titled "Estranger Things," a clear nod to the popular series Stranger Things, delves into Marge Simpson's fate. In a 35-year time jump, the mom with the iconic blue beehive hairdo passes away. The Simpsons aren't alone; Family Guy, another beloved American animated family, also experienced a character death, though it only lasted a few days.

Sudden changes in TV series often catch us off guard. Even positive news can sometimes create a stir. The recent pregnancy of Mummy Pig, which resulted in a new baby sister for Peppa and George, created a buzz, with newspapers and celebrities discussing it for days.

So, Did Marge Simpson Die? How and When Did It Happen?

The Simpsons is the longest-running animated series in TV history, with 790 episodes produced since 1989. So, the announcement of Marge Simpson's death shocked hundreds of thousands of viewers worldwide.

But the sweet, sometimes grumpy, woman doesn't truly die in the main timeline. At the end of the 36th season, there's a time jump. Thirty-five years later, the Simpson family has changed dramatically. The eldest and most intelligent daughter, Lisa, is now a career woman, working as an NBA commissioner. Bart, the unruly second child, runs an unauthorized retirement home where their now-elderly father, Homer, lives—at the expense of his eldest daughter.

The siblings have grown apart, but the death of their mother, who watches over them from heaven, will make them put aside their family tensions.

The episode doesn't reveal how, or more importantly, when Marge will actually die in the main narrative.
