The family watching TV
It is not unheard of for members of the cast of long-running series to have disagreements with one another or for individual co-stars to favour one another more than others in the group. In addition, it is not unheard of for specific co-stars to favour one another more than others in the group.
Is that the how things functioned prior to the implementation of the Modern Family model? On the other hand, in Hyland’s opinion, this is in no way the case at all. He believes that the situation is really different. She had nothing but kind words to say about the remaining members of the ensemble cast, and this continued even after the show had ended. She felt a deep sense of joy and well-wishing for all those involved.
