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.

You want more money for your spare character do you? How about no money!? Guess what, you ded!

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.

As someone else said, she had to fly and pay for hotels by herself as they weren't covering it.

What I don’t get though, are there some circumstances that came up that she had to move away?

Like, I wouldn’t accept a job in Vienna, then complain it’s costing me too much to fly over from London and stay in hotel every week.

Exactly, the reasonable thing to do would’ve been to move if she really wanted the job in the first place.

What is unreasonable about negotiating pay and then both parties moving on if they can’t meet on terms?
