A few weeks ago, it was revealed that someone was going to die on Modern Family. Yesterday, we found out who. Someone I predicted.
It was DeDe Pritchet (Shelly Long), Jay’s ex-wife, Claire and Mitchell’s mother, and Haley, Alex, Luke and Lily’s grandmother. While she was not the nicest character, her death was even colder than Roseanne’s on The Conners. Which says a lot.
Show creator Steve Levitan told The Hollywood Reporter that the sitcom will continue to deal with her death in upcoming episodes. Maybe then they will care a little more about her loss.
He also talked about the show’s future as in if it will have one. He said, “We have talked about the season finale and we have a really nice moment that we’re working on. It could be a series ender. That’s how we opted to do that.” Although, he is not ready to declare that season 10 will be its last one. He is up for doing another season. Something I think they should consider not doing. It has not been good in a long time and I still watch.
