'The Simpsons' Executive Producer Confirms 'Marge Simpson Is Not Dead'
Rana Atef In recent days, social media blasted after fans speculated the death of "The Simpsons" iconic character, Marge Simpson, after a scene in the Season 36 finale. It seemed that fans misunderstood the scene leading them to believe her death. Fans started to share memes, tribute posts, and digital mourning on social media, sparking an outpouring of nostalgia and sadness. The episode in question, titled 'Estranger Things', aired on May 18, but it wasn't until this week that the emotional moment gained widespread attention. The story is set in a speculative future, where Bart and Lisa have grown distant as adults. Lisa is now the commissioner of the NBA, and Bart runs an unlicensed retirement home ,which Homer resides in, funded by Lisa. Through the episode, a funeral scene reveals a tombstone engraved with: 'Beloved wife, mother and pork-chop seasoner.' Fans were led to believe Marge had died. The storyline takes a touching turn when Lisa finds an old video message from her mother, urging her children to stay close. This sparks a reunion between Bart and Lisa, who renew their sibling bond as Marge looks down from heaven in a comedic twist, she is seen coupled with Ringo Starr of The Beatles, joking about a heavenly buffet's 'shrimp tower.' But despite the wave of reactions online, fans can rest easy: Marge is not actually dead. Executive producer Matt Selman addressed the viral misunderstanding in an interview with Variety, saying that in the world of The Simpsons, 'there is no canon.' 'The Simpsons doesn't even have canon!' Selman clarified. 'Since 'The Simpsons' future episodes are all speculative fantasies, they're all different every time. Marge will probably never be dead ever again. The only place Marge is dead is in one future episode that aired six weeks ago.' Selman also criticized the media for sensationalizing the storyline for clicks, noting that many headlines deliberately misled readers. 'Every single media outlet that ran this story knew that in no way was Marge dead,' he said. 'But they ran the headline anyway. I guess this speaks to the fact that people care about Marge.' Marge Simpson isn't going anywhere. Marge is alive. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Rakeen Saad Replaces Yasmin Raeis in TV Series "Qtl Ikhtiyari"
Yara Sameh After a year of hindered production, the TV series "Qtl Ikhtiyari" ("Optional Killing") is getting a fresh start, but this time, with major changes. Egyptian actress Yasmin Raeis has dropped from the project and has been replaced by Jordanian actress Rakeen Saad. The drama was originally scheduled to debut during the 2024 Ramadan drama marathon, but production issues halted filming from starting on schedule, putting the project on hold for a long period. With the delay, Raeis decided to exit the series, especially given her busy schedule with new projects in film and television. Sources within the production team say the production company was able to overcome the financial crisis that had disrupted filming, and a decision was made to debut the project outside of the Ramadan drama marathon, with significant changes to the number of episodes and the technical crew. The show's creators also altered the series' episodes from 15 to 30. "Qtl Ikhtiyari" is written by Amin Gamal and directed by Mohamed Bakir. Principal photography is set to begin in the coming weeks. Saad was last seen next in Egyptian actor Asser Yassin's Netflix TV series "Mawid Maa Elmady" (Echoes of The Past). The cast also includes Shereen Reda, Mahmoud Hamida, Saba Mubarak, Huda El Mufti, Sherif Salama, Mohamed Alaa, Mohamed Tharwat, Tamer Nabil, and more. Produced by Charisma Group with executive producer Mohammad Mashish, the adaptation hails from scriptwriter Mohamed Al Masry and director Al Sadeer Massoud. "Mawid Maa Elmady" consists of 8 episodes and is based on the Mexican thriller series "Quién mató a Sara?" (Who Killed Sara? in English). The show ran for three seasons from March 2021 to May 2022 and follows Manolo Cardona as Álex, who was framed for the murder of his sister Sara. Now he's out of prison he's on the hunt for revenge, as he tries to uncover the mystery of what happened. 'Mawid Maa Elmady' delves deep into the emotional and psychological turmoil of Yehia, whose life was torn apart by the murder of his sister, Nadia. "After being wrongly convicted of her death and facing 15 years behind bars, Yahia's release is followed by a burning desire for revenge, where he will stop at nothing to find Nadia's real killer. His return sees old family wounds reopened, long-buried secrets come to life, and the reality that the truth never stays hidden forever," according to the official synopsis. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
