Ty Burrell is alive and well, but no one would have known it based on the internet’s reaction to his absence from the Modern Family reunion in 2023. Burrell has finally spoken out about the time the internet thought he had passed away. The actor, who became a household name playing the lovable and goofy dad, Phil Dunphy, on the hit sitcom, finally addressed the humorous situation.

What was supposed to be a simple gathering of the beloved sitcom’s cast turned into a viral moment when fans assumed the worst. Burrell recently clarified the misunderstanding in his Modern Family co-star’s podcast.

When Modern Family first aired, it quickly became known for its progressive, inclusive storylines, tackling topics ranging from LGBTQ+ representation to non-traditional family structure. The famous gay couple in Modern Family, Mitch and Cam, has been unconditionally accepted by many fans, but what if there were a bisexual character?

In the show, one character who perfectly embodied this openness was Phil Dunphy, portrayed by Ty Burrell. As the quirky, fun-loving father of the Dunphy Family, Phil was always ready to support his children unconditionally, no matter their choices. His portrayal made him the ideal dad, the type of parent who would back his daughter in any situation, including their sexuality, even Ty Burrell thinks the same way.

When Modern Family launched in 2009, the kids on the show were not just young, they were undeniably adorable and packed with humor. With their unique wits, naughty antics, and heartwarming portrayals, they captured the audience’s hearts and dominated the spotlight. However, as the show progressed, many fans began to notice a troubling trend. The child characters suffered significant declines in their development.

All of the child actors grew up in the show and in front of the cameras. However, the transition from childhood to adolescence remains one of the show’s biggest missteps. Instead of evolving the characters in a way that felt natural, they were reduced to some stereotypical characters that lost their charm. While it may be a comedy show, the way the show handled its young cast members raises typical questions about the writers’ ability to craft a good arc for these growing stars.

As much as I love the format, there are few genres that are more divisive or inconsistent than that of the movie musical. For every crowning achievement, like Wicked, there’s a disaster like Cats. It’s certainly a format that garners a lot of opinions, but there are few stage-to-screen adaptations more loved than Little Shop of Horrors. Based on the 1960 film, The Little Shop of Horrors, and the beloved stage musical, Little Shop is a cult classic that continues to gain popularity year after year, with a star-studded Off-Broadway revival currently drawing names like Sarah Hyland and Jinkx Monsoon into its cast. However, we almost got another tinseled reimagining of the musical in the way of a big-budget remake. Originally set to reunite two MCU greats and include some of the most dynamic talent in Hollywood, the movie was going to be a massive event, until it was gobbled up in development.

One of the most unusual yet hilarious sitcoms, Modern Family, has been a game changer in the genre. Blending the themes of mockumentary with heartfelt comical storytelling, it is one of the most-watched sitcoms across the world. However, even a show as brilliant as Modern Family has had instances when it failed to hit the mark, struggling to find its footing.

One such instance was during a season one episode, where the comedic direction of the show to its storytelling, all went awry. Even though the said episode had its share of laughs, abandoning all its logic for a few laughs ended up making it one of the lamest moments of the sitcom.

Multiple sources have now confirmed that Harry Jowsey and Lucy Hale are dating.

And that makes these two early contenders for the title of 2025’s Most Random Couple!

Sure, they’re both young, famous, and attractive, but we don’t often see successful actresses pairing off with serial reality stars.

(Although to be fair, Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams seem to have made it work.)

Yes, this particular pairing has Lucy’s fans feeling baffled and a bit concerned.

That’s mainly because Harry’s romantic drama has been well-documented on shows like Too Hot to Handle and Perfect Match.

In Hollywood, it’s not uncommon that two stars start dating each other. In fact, this is something that happens quite often. But sometimes, such connections make headlines for all the wrong reasons. The same was true for Sarah Hyland as well, whose romance with fellow actor Matthew Prokop took a very drastic turn.

What started as a fairytale romance soon became marred with emotional and physical abuse claims. After these revelations, Prokop seemingly disappeared from Hollywood, and his once-promising career also took a major hit.

Sarah Hyland’s relationship with Matthew Prokop that turned terrorizing for her

While Sarah Hyland might be currently happily married to Wells Adams, she once dated actor Matthew Prokop. He was on the rise with roles in projects such as High School Musical 3, Geek Charming, and even appeared in a guest role in Modern Family.

Who doesn’t love Modern Family? The show brought forth three families and characters that truly aced their roles and managed to tickle the funny bones of the audience. But while everything was humorous and funny on screen, behind the scenes, life wasn’t always easy for actress Ariel Winter. She started working on the show when she was just a child actress.

And according to her on-screen mom Julie Bowen, the show dressed her differently to preserve her image. While the show was known for its carefully crafted storyline, this revelation has further brought the spotlight to how young stars are treated in the industry.

Ty Burrell’s Phil Dunphy in Modern Family became a standout character in the overpopulated category of TV dads. The goofy, and awkward suburban father character quickly became a fan-favorite in the sitcom. Obviously, for good reason.

In fact, after witnessing his magic on screen for over a decade, no fan could even imagine him not playing the character in the first place. However, that was exactly what was about to happen after he failed his screen test for the role in the worst way possible.

What made matters even more tragic, though, was that if things didn’t turn around for him, he would have lost out on a character that was specifically written for him.

The sitcom Modern Family has captivated the audience with its quirky characters, sharp humor, and heartwarming moments for 11 years. The long-running 11-season mockumentary show has been a favorite for family dynamics and relationships, but one recurring theme that is rather uncomfortable is the depiction of age-gap relationships.

While Gloria and Jay Pritchett’s relationship was wisely regarded as wholesome and authentic, other storylines, particularly Haley Dunphy’s love life, seemed to lean too heavily on the idea of older partners, ultimately causing discomfort among many viewers.

Modern Family went too far with Haley’s dating older men

Jay and Gloria’s relationship was no doubt one of Modern Family‘s most beloved and healthy storylines. Despite the significant age gap between them, their connection though unconventional, provided sweet and genuine moments of affection. Their bond provided Modern Family with one of its most heartwarming and enduring relationships.

It’s hard to imagine that it has already been five long years since Modern Family ended in 2020. The Emmy-winning show continued for 11 seasons and perfectly presented a mix of heartfelt plotlines and sharp humor.

For the majority of the audience, the show didn’t just entertain but showcased a hilarious take on the modern American family. Whether it was Phil Dunphy’s cool dad antics or Mitch and Cam’s hilarious couple banter, fans cherished each and every episode of the show.

But beyond these elements, the show also had a significant cultural impact and tackled real-life issues with a hint of sarcasm and warmth. The mockumentary-style format also helped the audience feel as if they were part of the family.

Nolan Gould masterfully played the role of Luke in Modern Family for over a decade. As such, fans practically got to see him grow up in the show. While this should have pleased the fans all the more and made him a fan-favorite character, fate wasn’t by Gould’s side.

Unfortunately, instead of growing up to be a goofy, yet respectful teen, he turned into a horribly misogynistic character very quickly. Fans obviously had a hard time coping with that sudden shift from that mischievous little boy.

Interestingly, though, for all the hate Luke gets for these reasons, Sarah Hyland’s Haley got away with similar traits with almost no such consequences from Modern Family fans.

Sofia Vergara became the breakout star of Modern Family. The ABC sitcom saw her play Gloria Pritchett, a Colombian immigrant who marries Ed O’Neill’s Jay and becomes part of the Pritchett-Dunphy-Delgado-Tucker family.

Modern Family has often faced criticism for its handling of the kids’ character development, with all the younger characters receiving underwhelming arcs. However, the most notable case is that of the Dunphy sisters, Haley and Alex Dunphy, portrayed by Sarah Hyland and Ariel Winter, respectively.

Both sisters initially showed great potential, maintaining a strong character presence for much of the series. However, many fans have expressed disappointment in how their growth ultimately fell short of expectations. Despite that, Haley’s character arc, though flawed, still felt more natural compared to Alex’s.

Sarah Hyland is reacting to her husband Wells Adams being the first star voted out of The Traitors season three via the round table.

If you don’t know, the Peacock hit eliminates two contestants each episode. One contestant gets “murdered” by the Traitors while another gets banished at the round table by fellow contestants who are both Traitors and Faithfuls. The goal is to eliminate a Traitor, but usually, a Faithful is eliminated.

Wells was a Faithful, and happened to be the first casualty of the round table this season.

On The View, Sarah reacted, saying, “He’s such a good guy. I would never use the word ‘disappointed’ and my husband’s name in the same sentence, ever. I was sad that they kicked him off so soon, but he’s an amazing, funny human being.”

She added, “I think it’s...

Sarah Hyland said she was not disappointed her husband, Wells Adams, was the first person banished from The Traitors.

The Modern Family alum appeared on The View and revealed that it was “great” that Adams didn’t make it far on the third season of Peacock’s competition reality series.

Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Hyland if she was “disappointed” Adams was not a good liar to make it further on The Traitors.

“He’s such a good guy. I would never use the word ‘disappointed’ and my husband’s name in the same sentence, ever,” the former Love Island USA host said. “I was sad that they kicked him off so soon, but he’s an amazing, funny human being.”

She continued, “I think it’s great that he was kicked off so soon because it’s not like it had anything to do with his character. They barely knew each other.

Two decades before Kevin Spacey was hit with a series of sexual misconduct, the actor was at the top of his career, in between his two Oscar wins for 1995's The Usual Suspects and 1999's American Beauty. In 1997, he played Jack Vincennes in L.A. Confidential alongside Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, and Kim Basinger.

In a new appearance on The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast, Pearce reflected for the first time on his experience working with Spacey. The actor noted that, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, he had a "wake-up" call about all his encounters with Spacey on set. He had previously briefly addressed the actor in 2018 when he called Spacey a "handsy" guy.

Despite its beloved characters and captivating plotlines, Modern Family has often received criticism concerning how it developed several of its characters. One such character also includes Haley Dunphy, portrayed by Sarah Hyland in the sitcom.

Haley Dunphy is introduced as a typical teenager with a keen interest in fashion, popularity, and boys rather than academics or career ambitions. However, she experiences significant growth, as she pursues her passion for fashion and styling while working toward getting her life together.

But as the show progressed, much of this development takes a backseat with her getting back with her on-again-off-again boyfriend Dylan, getting pregnant, and eventually marrying him, a turn of events that has left many fans disappointed.

Fans disappointed with Haley Dunphy’s character arc in Modern Family

Modern Family fans have long been at odds with how the show developed the characters, especially those who were introduced as kids.

When it comes to TV, romantic storylines have always been common, with some of the most popular fictional couples coming from network TV. While some of these iconic couples, like Ross Geller and Rachel Green (Friends), Pam Beesly and Jim Halpert (The Office), or Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big (Sex and the City), ended up together at the end of their respective series, some TV couples didn't end up being endgame.

Many TV fans are disappointed when their favorite couple does not end up together in the end. This can occur for many reasons, usually because one of the characters ends up with someone else or an actor decides to leave the show. Of the many beloved TV couples that didn't end up together but should have, some stood out more than others.

Modern Family is certainly one of the most precious and celebrated sitcoms of all time. Making a special place for itself in the hearts of its viewers, the series has become beloved for its personal-feeling themes and unique approach to traditional comedy.

While there are many things that fans absolutely adore about the series, there is no denying that it has its flaws. Be it the progression of Haley’s character or some questionable moments in Mitch and Cam’s relationship, fans have certainly had their fair share of arguments about how some storylines should have gone.

One of the more interesting topics in this conversation is that of Claire Dunphy, who is frequently villainized in her family for simply not being as easygoing as the rest. However, the flaws in the series’ writing about her character can all be perfect in one episode.

Few sitcom dads have managed to strike the perfect balance between lovable goofball and devoted family man. But, Phil Dunphy in Modern Family is in a league of his own.

Played masterfully by Ty Burrell, Phil is the quintessential cool dad, or at least, he tries to be. He’s the kind of guy who believes in always looking on the bright side, finds joy in the simplest things, and delivers some of the most delightfully cringeworthy dad jokes in television history.

While she’s a bit shorter than the average American woman, who stands around 5 feet 4 inches (162.5 cm), she has never let her petite stature limit her style. As she once admitted, “I wish I was taller or curvier, but I’m happy with the way I look.”

Embracing both glamour and comfort, she effortlessly balances laid-back looks with dazzling red carpet moments, even describing herself as “more laid back than glamorous” despite her love for statement fashion. Whether she’s in sky-high stilettos or classic pumps, she always knows how to rock her petite frame with confidence!

Claire Dunphy may just be into the firefighters of LA, but Modern Family star Julie Bowen had a different crush back in the day. The actress began her career in the ‘90s and was struggling to make it in Hollywood while the decade saw the emergence of the quirky yet attractive Johnny Depp.

Bowen mentioned that she had a huge crush on Depp and had even fantasized about how they would fall in love when she was hanging out at his club ‘The Viper Room’. While she imagined a cinematic meet-cute, fate seemed to have other plans and the first time they met in real life turned out to be like a Modern Family episode.

Following its premiere in 2009, the sitcom quickly became a fan favorite, blending humor and emotion while exploring family dynamics over its 11-season run.

One of the most beloved characters in the series is Phil Dunphy, who is known for being the fun and goofy dad in Modern Family. However, the actor Ty Burrell almost missed out on landing his iconic role. The show came close to facing a major setback, as the network was initially opposed to casting the Emmy-winning actor in the remarkable role.

The Modern Family creators Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan have opened up about how they specifically wrote the character of Phil Dunphy for Ty Burrell, an actor they deeply admired.

However, despite their enthusiasm, the network was not impressed with Burrell’s resume.

Ariel Winter played the super smart yet socially anxious Alex in Modern Family. The sitcom saw her practically grow up on the show and the nerdy Dunphy went on to become a student at Caltech and achieved various feats as an academic. Winter won several SAG awards with the rest of the cast for her performance in the sitcom.

Winter famously had a traumatic childhood, which included growing up in showbiz and emancipating herself from her mother after accusing her of physical and emotional abuse. The actress was also subjected to intense public scrutiny while she was growing up and hence mentioned in an interview that she did not want to be a role model.

The Office and Modern Family will forever remain two of the most iconic comedy shows of all time. On one hand, you get the absurdly dysfunctional yet lovable paper-pushing crew of Dunder Mifflin, and on the other, you get the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan that proves families come in all shapes and sizes, no matter how chaotic they may be.

Both shows have brought some of the most unforgettable storylines to comedy television. Whether it is Dwight and Jim’s love-hate relationship or Cam and Mitch’s adoption journeys, some plotlines will forever be stuck in mind. Then there are some that will stay with us for all the wrong reasons, like the growth of the Dunphy kids.

Broadway said a few so-longs last week, with the star-studded Our Town ending its limited run and some original cast members of Oh, Mary! and The Great Gatsby giving way to replacements. Ticket-buyers were there to see everyone off.

Our Town, the Thornton Wilder classic starring Jim Parsons, Katie Holmes, Ephraim Sykes and Zoey Deutch, among others, had its best week since opening last fall: The revival at the Ethel Barrymore grossed $1,084,024 for its final week, up $128,404 from the previous week. Just more than 95% of seats were occupied.

Oh, Mary! star (and creator) Cole Escola played their final week in the title role of Mary Todd Lincoln (American Primeval‘s Betty Gilpin takes over tonight for an eight-week run). The comedy has been selling out for months, and Escola’s final performances were no exception. Oh, Mary! grossed $1,253,871 for the week ending January 19.

The Great Gatsby, meanwhile, said goodbye to...

Sarah Hyland and Ryan McCartan are joining the cast of the Broadway musical The Great Gatsby and they gave a preview of their performances at last week’s Centennial Gala.

The two actors performed the song “My Green Light” while attending a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the book on Thursday (January 16) at the New York Public Library in New York City.

Sarah and Ryan joined the musical’s departing original stars Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada to toast the novel’s influence over the past century.

Ryan starts his run as Jay Gatsby in the musical Tonight (January 21) while Sarah will begin her run as Daisy Buchanan on February 10. Get tickets now!

Modern Family is a sitcom with colorful characters that explore the family dynamics of the Dunphys, Pritchetts, and Tuckers. Claire and Phil, played by Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell, respectively, were the most relatable couple on the show, trying to stay afloat while managing their three, very different kids!

They were the backbone of many storylines, but the couple’s vastly contrasting personalities made Claire a target of people’s hate and criticism. But years have passed since the show’s conclusion, and now we must start asking the right questions, like: why does Claire take the brunt of the blame when Phil was an equally flawed parent?
