Fans have been left concerned about the health of a Modern Family cast member after they were missing in new reunion photos.
In the grand scheme of things, very few sitcoms stand the test of time. Among those that have are the likes of Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, and The Office. One format that has worked well in recent years is the mockumentary, and if there’s one that comes to mind (other than The Office), it’s Modern Family.
Created by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan, the ABC series delved into the lives of a diverse and complex family ensemble, exploring themes of societal norms, family dynamics, and humor in everyday life. It proved a success with viewers, running for 11 seasons.
A set of new reunion photos have sparked excitement from the fans, although some are concerned after noticing a Modern Family cast member missing.
Modern Family sparks concern after missing star in reunion photo
Earlier this week, Sofia Vergara and Jesse Tyler Ferguson shared photos of the Modern Family cast’s recent get-together, with the latter describing it as a “near-perfect reunion.”
Alongside the Gloria Delgado and Mitchell Pritchett stars, those present were Eric Stonestreet (Cameron Tucker), Ed O’Neil (Jay Pritchett), Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy), Ariel Winter (Alex Dunphy), Nolan Gould (Luke Dunphy), Sarah Hyland (Haley Dunphy), Rico Rodriguez (Manny Delgado), and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons (Lily Tucker-Pritchett).
Taking to the comments section, one wrote: “Did anyone else go straight to Google thinking Phil died in real life?” Another said: “You guys wearing mostly black and hold Ty’s picture like that. It seems like he’s in memoriam or something.”
“THIS MADE ME THINK HE WAS DEAD I PANICKED,” added a third, while a fourth chimed in, “I thought Phil died, I almost had a mini heart attack.” Over on X/Twitter, one wrote: “MY HEART. But it feels like Ty Burrell passed away or something.” A second said: “Why did this make me think that Ty Burrell was dead?”
