Indeed with the fourth season of Modern Family well underway in production  and also having won 14 emmy awards the producers partook in a recent interview with TV Line where details on the forthcoming season were revealed. Indeed from Gloria’s [Sofia Vergara] pregnancy to Haley’s[Sarah Hyland] college situation to other relevant situations there is a great depth of details released.

 The season will start off with Gloria revealing her pregnancy to the family and viewers exploring  the particular reactions of each of the members, particularly commented that;

“ The big arc this season is obviously Jay[Ed O' Neill] and Gloria having this baby. There’s a lot of preparation that comes with that and also a lot of fallout. Gloria, for example, is gaining weight but not wanting to change any of her outfits, which is funny. Jay is caught up dealing with some anxiety about being a dad again, when thought he was done with those 30 years ago. But also, Mitch and Cam worked really hard to try and get a baby last year, and now these other people — who weren’t really trying — did, and Claire, whose family is getting smaller because Haley’s gone off to college, is a little bit jealous of Gloria getting to be a mom again”.

While it will be exciting to see the challenges that lay ahead for the couple as they cope with changes of their lifestyles and attitudes as a result of the pregnancy, Gloria will deliver her baby at the midpoint of the season.

The producers also outlined other noteworthy storylines which will be a part of the season, including Cameron’s[ Eric StoneStreet] return to teaching as he accepts a post as an elementary school. The season will also feature a promising Halloween   episode.  It will be interesting to see how Claire will once again celebrate her favourite holiday.

As for Haley, both producers elaborate in how the character will be a part of the show’s coming season for nearly all of the episodes, particularly by explaining some of the emotional issues she copes with while dealing with her increased independence.

‘We have a way in mind of keeping Sarah involved… Once you’re part of this family, you’re always a part of this family indicated producer, Levitan”.

“She’s involved in virtually all episodes. She heads off to college, but it’s not that far away. She stays in touch, and she visits home; it’s kind of a typical first-year-in-college experience, in that she feels a little bit of loneliness and adjustment. She wants her family, but doesn’t want her family. So, it’s a nice change in her life that’s going on, but she’s far from removed from our family, added Lloyd”
