SPRING 2014: 'ONCE UPON A TIME' PLANNING TO KILL OFF A SERIES REGULAR

ABC's Once Upon a Time is enjoying a lengthy winter break (new episodes return March 9) but that hasn't stopped the show's creators from dropping hints on the season finale.

Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis have revealed that a major character will be killed off during the second half of this season. Now before you say to yourself "Oh they always kill off a character who comes back to life thanks to magic," let us say clearly that this character will be dead and done. According to the creators, the upcoming death will result in the exit of a series regular and right now everyone is a candidate.

Personally, Stay Tuned believes that the character to bite the dust will be Neal/Baelfire since the show has little to lose writing him off. A part of us, however, is pulling for Henry to be the victim. It would definitely spark a new conflict between the recently peaceful group of frenemies, and let's be honest, Henry Jared Gilmore is getting older and awkward and that just isn't cute when a tween fantasizes about fairy tales.

We'll just have to wait and see...Stay Tuned!

FALL 2013: 'THE SIMPSONS' TO RETIRE EDNA KRABAPPEL IN WAKE OF MARCIA WALLACE'S PASSING

Comedic actress Marcia Wallace, best known for her roles as wisecracking secretary Carol Kester on The Bob Newhart Show and Mrs. Edna Krabappel on the long-running The Simpsons, passed away Friday, October 25 due to complications from breast cancer.

In wake of the actress' passing, The Simpsons executive producer Al Jean released a statement, "I was tremendously saddened to learn this morning of the passing of the brilliant and gracious Marcia Wallace. She was beloved by all at The Simpsons, and we intend to retire her irreplaceable character."

This wouldn't be the first time The Simpsons has retired a character due to the death of a voice actor. In 1998, the animated comedy retired shyster attorney Lionel Hutz and B-movie actor Troy McClure after Phil Hartman's death, though the characters continue to appear in clip shows. It will be interesting to see how Bart's fourth grade teacher will make her exit from Springfield Elementary, if they formally retire her from the school.

Shortly after news of Wallace's passing, this YouTube video of Krabappel's Ha! moments began trending.

 

FALL 2013: 'THE SIMPSONS' PLANNING TO KILL OFF A REGULAR CHARACTER

Television's long running animation series kicks off its 25th year and it's about to do something to keep viewers tuned in.

The Simpsons kicked off its 25th season this past Sunday with a Homeland-esque episode. News today, however, has come that producers are planning to kill off a regular character this season. The Simpsons hasn't killed off a regular character since 2000 when neighbor Maude Flanders was t-shirt bazooka'd off a stadium. Executive Producer Al Jean has given one clue, "the actor playing the character won an Emmy for playing that character." Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Hank Azaria, and Kelsey Grammer are just a few actors who have won Emmys for their voice-over work and play regular characters.

While no word on when the death will take place, a short list has already begun to form of potential victims which include: Apu, Sideshow Bob, Patty or Selma, and Grandpa Abe Simpson.
