How maud flanders died?
Maude Flanders had to die because her voice actor (Maggie Roswell) had a payment dispute during seasons 11-14. Ms. Roswell has since returned to The Simpsons, but the character of Maude Flanders has not.If you want to know how Maude died, search for that question instead.Why was she killed off?It was rumored that the character was killed off because Roswell demanded more money. This rumor was initially denied, but the fact remains that the actress was tired of multi-state commutes traveling for what was only occasional work, and a salary that did not cover the airfare costs. This fall-out with the producers led to Maude being written out of the series by dying. Matt Groening has confirmed this in interviews, stating that he regretted having to kill of yet another character (the others being Bleeding Gums Murphy and Dr. Marvin Monroe) Despite this, Roswell is still doing guest appearances on the show voicing other characters, and it is rumored that Maude might make an appearance from beyond the dead in the future.Posthumous Appearances* At the start of Treehouse of Horror XIII, originally broadcast November 3, 2002, The Simpsons and Ned Flanders held a seance and summon Maude's ghost, who proceeds to tell them three horror stories.* The regular episode "Bart Has Two Mommies", which aired March 19, 2006 showed her looking down on her sons from heaven, saying 'My little boy is growing up".* Maude is also shown to be alive in Season 6 in the episode Lisa's Wedding which was set in the future after the Simpson children had grown up, but written before Season 11 when Maude was killed. However it should be noted that this was a vision, and may not be considered canon.It happened in the 11th season.http://www.thesimpsons.com/episode_guide/1114.htm
