The storyline involving Vergara’s role made Harry Shearer [the voice behind Mr Skinner] glad after announcing that he was leaving; he will be returning to “The Simpsons” simply because watching a new Skinner fall in love with Mrs Barrera just wouldn’t be the same. She will catch the eye of Principal Skinner and a suddenly pubescent Bart Simpson.

Vergara will debut in the episode “Teenage Mutant Milk-Caused Hurdles” during the middle of the Simpsons’ upcoming 27th season. “We thought it’d be interesting if both Bart and Skinner have a crush on the same woman”, Simpsons Executive Producer Al Jean told Entertainment Weekly.
Since Marcia Wallace, the actress who played Mrs. Krabappel, passed away in October 2013, Vergara’s character is set to replace the acting role in this episode and will pay special attention to Bart as he also will develop feelings for her, according to reports. The character’s absence means that Bart is now without a regular teacher, resulting to Vergara’s Mrs. Berrera staying on for more episodes in the future.
Last season, Willem Dafoe guest starred in an unmemorable one-off appearance; next season, it’s Sofia Vergara as the “highly attractive” Mrs. Berrera.
Sofia Vergara will somehow be finding time in her busy Modern Family schedule to head over to the Fox lot to record a voice for The Simpsons!
A new character will be introduced on everybody’s favorite American cartoon series “The Simpsons“.
