	~ Abbey

Abbey (possibly Abigail or Abbey Simpson) is the daughter of Edwina, a woman with whom Abraham Simpson briefly had a relationship while he was stationed in England during World War II.

It is heavily insinuated that Abbey is the result of that relationship, which would make her Abe's daughter and Homer's paternal half-sister. She very much looks and acts similar to Homer.

Background

Abbey was the result of a brief relationship between Edwina and Abe during World War II.

Abe was in England before D-Day and had one night of passion with Edwina before he had to leave England. Unknown to Abe, Edwina became pregnant and the result was Abbey. Abe and the rest of the Simpson family first met Abbey when she was 58 years old.

They had been visiting England and were on their way to catch their plane back to America, and Edwina and Abbey approached them in the airport.

When Abe realized that Abbey was his daughter due the resemblance between Abbey and Homer, he ran off to the plane screaming, after saying, "See you in Heaven."

Trivia

• Abbey was voiced by Dan Castellaneta. She looks like a female version of Homer and they share similar mannerisms and personalities, such as obesity and drooling.
• The show never verbally stated that Abbey was Homer's half sister. It's only until her inclusion in Tapped Out that it confirmed Abbey was indeed the half sister of Homer.
• She is not officially recognized by the family and never explicitly called a Simpson.
• It's possible that even though she is female, Abbey may have somehow inherited the Simpson Gene defect that most of the Simpson males have, or at the very least inherited some of their mannerisms such as love of food. As Dr. Simpson pointed out, all the Simpson women have high intellects and good careers, because the defective gene is on the Y chromosome. This could be an instance of the gene skipping a generation or striking some and missing others, as her half-brother Herbert Powell also supposedly inherited the Simpson Gene, but it has not significantly affected him. This means that she would have to have a Y chromosome, meaning that she could be a trans woman or could be intersex. There is also the possibility that Abbey is living proof that the Simpson Gene is not actually real, just utter nonsense.
• She looks fondly to her father, as when Abe was running off to the plane, Abbey exclaims, "Mummy, he's everything you said he was!"
• Abbey could possibly be the woman Bart mistook for Homer in "Brother from the Same Planet".
• She was added to The Simpsons: Tapped Out for the Simpson Christmas event 2019.
