Marge and Homer sticking together 25 years on

D'oh! Will Homer and Marge split after more than 25 years together on The Simpsons? Or are their creators just teasing us?

The hit cartoon comedy's writers appeared on Wednesday to damp down divorce speculation, despite the executive producer announcing the couple's separation in an interview.

In a link on the show's Twitter feed, Al Jean says it will emerge at the start of the show's 27th season in September that their relationship has been strained for some time.
