Haley Tells the Family – Modern Family

Plans go awry when Haley and Dylan prepare a festive pregnancy announcement.

"Why wouldn't you be?"
Bless you, Phil.

Hailey looking to her mother for understanding and Claire realizing this and giving her daughter her support was beautifully done.

[pranavinissan]

Phil is the best kind of human being. He's a supportive husband and an understanding father and overall he's a great and kind person. He's my favourite character in the show.

[Selmymy]

I loved how the whole family waited to react, untill Claire and Phil reacted. That's precious, it's their scary but also beautiful moment to handle such an announcement from their daughter.

When Phil said “why wouldn’t you be” just beautiful 😢

[mitcheejee]

Everyone is delighted with how phil reacted, but no one is even mentioning that these "younger than 12 year olds" exited the room obediently without skipping a beat?

[daniels]

Claire should just be grateful that this didn't happen in season one.

[weaseldude]

This was such a nice scene. Phil’s “why wouldn’t you be” almost made me cry

[artiecon]

I don’t think Claire would’ve had that same reaction if Phil hadn’t said anything first.

[aaarb]

Can we all agree that Phil's reaction was one of the best things of the entire show? 🥺

[mehedihasansony]

the acting is so spot on. Phill's reaction on the news, the reaction of Hayley waiting for her mother response, and noticing that how Claire cut off her opinion in a heartbeat and rush to hug her is portrayed so accurately is heart-wrenching.

“Why wouldn’t you be”


Father of the year 💕💕💕

Haley is 25. This is not that big a deal.

[analuizadefigueiredosouza]

Phil and Claire's reaction is both supportive and realistic. They're worried, confused, touched, scared, emocional all at the same time.

[sjfrmdahill]

I love the fact that they all wait for Claire's reaction to go and hug her.

[RexTheWolf]

Wow, so its clear that we all are disappointed that Haley ended up with Dylan. However lets not forget Phil was a wedding DJ when him and Claire met only later did Phil become this man we know now. Dylan already has a head start by being a nurse. He may just be Haley's Phil.

[albustran]

Why does Claire take all the hate? She is mother who fully understand all the stress her little girl will have. She worry about Haley and protect her from harm, both physical and mental. We all need a member like that in our family to keep us not do stupid things. If everyone in family like Phil, what will them be?

[Kelly-mfgj]

When Phil said "why wouldn't you be?" to Haley, it really feels like Clair hears him and internally asks this of herself and realizes she should be happy for her daughter

[fionagreen]

"I can't believe a small Dylan is gonna pop out of you."

*Dylan pops out of the Chimney*

XD

I don’t understand why they had to make Haley be with Dylan.
