What That Modern Family Pregnancy Means for the Shows Future#CJXg

And baby makes...13? Ten seasons in, Modern Family is doing the most. There was some speculation in the scene we shot this morning, kind of based on the question a little bit whether the...um, I dont want to say the intelligence level, but maybe, you know, how gifted the child of Haley and Dylan might be, whatever that means. Phil and Claire might be called upon to do a little bit more guidance and parenting for this child than they would have to do otherwise. Theres some interesting conversation with Jay over the fact that Claire is now in a place that Jay was in a generation ago where a child became a entangled with a person that maybe that parent wasnt a huge fan of, and then suddenly they were really linked to them through a pregnancy. And so Jay is both amused by this turn of events but also is called upon to be out of a dad to Claire in a way that he hasnt had to be for awhile. So again, its sort of messy, but it, it brings us up to some kind of high emotions in the family. Lloyd says the writers havent yet talked about when Haley will give birth this season, but it sounds like theres plenty of pregnancy storyline to get through before that happens . And for everyone else wondering, Haleys excessive eating as a way of dealing with her grief after her grandmother died was not a clue to the pregnancy, just a happy coincidence.
