There's trouble in Springfield.
"Simpsons" producer Al Jean says Homer and Marge Simpson, the main characters of the long-running animated series, will "legally separate" in the upcoming season premiere in September.
"In the premiere, it's discovered after all the years Homer has narcolepsy and it's an incredible strain on the marriage," Jean told Variety. "Homer and Marge legally separate, and Homer falls in love with his pharmacist, who's voiced by Lena Dunham. We'll have cameos from the other women from 'Girls.'"
Jean didn't say how long the separation would last, but given the show's history, it's a safe bet the pair will be reunited by the end of the episode.
The Simpsons' marital woes were a topic of discussion on "The View" on Tuesday, as Whoopi Goldberg feigned outrage over the news.
“What the hell?” she said. “Homer, what about a sister? In the time that I’ve seen you, I’ve never seen you with a black woman. Or maybe Marge is just a light-skinned sister and they haven’t said it. I don't know
Homer falling in love with Lena...Nasty.
Wonder if this will last more than an episode.
