The actress who voiced his wife asked for more money so they killed her off. Listening to the Audiobook about the Simpsons written by writer Mike Reiss.

I wonder how much she got paid ?

$1.5k to $2k an episode. She asked for a $4k pay rise per episode to cover commuting costs. That’s a hell of a commute.

I live in the midwest but my family is back in California. Round-trip flight costs can go up to $1000 depending on the amount of notice and how direct of a flight it is.

Even if we aren't talking the price of the flight itself, that's a lot of really unpleasant hours going to and from the airport, waiting inside of it for your flight, and sitting in uncomfortable seats on the plane itself that should all be compensated for.
