 With the new season of ABC’S ,Modern Family under production producer  Steven  Levitan has revealed some details about the forthcoming season.

According to a recent report from TV Guide ,  the fourth season will start off with Gloria[Sofia Vergara] revealing her pregnancy to the family , to which Mitchell [ Jesse Tyler Ferguson]and Claire[ Julie Bowen] will respond  negatively as a result of their  lack of desire  to have another step sibling.

However, it seem the show’s characters are not the only ones to express surprise at the news. According to the  report, the child cast members of the show were unaware of Gloria’s pregnancy until the season finale aired.  Nolan Gould [ Luke]  commented on his reaction and the circumstances behind  how the storyline was kept a  surprise stating that”They didn’t tell any of us it was happening,” reveals Gould. “It wasn’t in the script. They filmed Sofia with one camera guy, one sound guy and one hair and makeup guy. I didn’t find out until I watched it.”

“I didn’t know about it,”  expressed Rico Rodriguez [ Manny]. “It was a surprise! And I was there when she was filming it!” he said, before dishing on what kind of sib he’d like for his character. “I’d probably want him to take after Manny so I can teach him how to make espressos! Make coffee, how to dress properly, how to write to girls.”

While this development may be brief, it raised many questions  regarding the reactions of the other characters  to Gloria’s pregnancy.  How will Manny respond to the prospect of having to share his mother with a sibling  given the two’s close relationship? What will Jay’s response be given  how he expressed how he was to old to handle children in the finale? What comical situations  will arise from the modern scenario of having  Jay raising a child at his age? How will  Mitchel and Claire’s disapproval be interpreted by Gloria and what  particulates tensions may arise?  How will Lilly respond to somewhat less attention from the extended family, with the arrival of a new baby?

How do you feel about the pregnancy storyline?
