The Simpsons quietly brings back forgotten character – 27 years after last appearance --[Reported by Umva mag]

THE SIMPSONS bosses made a shock move in the latest series of the long-running cartoon by bringing back a long forgotten character – but with an unexpected twist. Sunday night’s episode (October 6), titled The Yellow Lotus, featured a flashback to Marge and Homer’s life long before the series began. It was made even more interesting by the character’s surprise return.

He quietly returned to the show after a 27 years absence in The Yellow Lotus, which aired on Sunday evening in the U.S. The episode follows the fan-favourite cartoon family as they take a rare holiday to the luxury resort Drooping Dandelions to cash in on their 10-year timeshare.

Marge berates him for scamming them into buying the timeshare just moments before they are kicked out of the resort and Nick is shockingly killed off after being attacked by a drug-addled sea otter while snorkelling. Nick first appeared in The Simpsons in the season nine episode Realty Bites when Marge joined the Red Blazer Realty Bites, working alongside Gil Gunderson, Cookie Kwan, and Nick. But the recent flashback reveals that Marge met Nicki long before working with him. This, of course, throws the continuity of the show slightly off kilter and Marge doesn’t recognise Nick when she meets him in Reality Bites – nevertheless, the episode provides a fun way to conclude the character’s storyline. Fans were shocked and delighted to see Hank’s character back on screens in this week’s episode, calling his appearance “unbelievable” on X.
