'Modern Family' is definitely one of my favorite shows that I've been looking forward to this fall. However this is devastating news to me because I feel like every character adds to the show in their own way. Co-Creator Christopher Lloyd tells Entertainment Weekly the new season will deal with a family death that will leaving lasting repercussions. If I had to take a guess it's Ed O'neil's character Jay because he probably is ready to retire, but I'm sure I'm wrong!
