Spoilers ahead! Don’t read if you haven’t watched the latest episode of Modern Family.
Modern Family killed off Frank Dunphy (Fred Willard), the father of Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell) on last night’s episode – but one cast member wasn’t made aware of the death until she saw it on TV!
“So, I don’t read scripts of episodes of Modern Family that I’m not in, so I just found out that my grandpa’s dead along with all of you,” Sarah Hyland posted on Instagram.
She added, “I guess I should’ve put a spoiler alert for Grandpa Frank dying, but I was just caught off guard.”
“Like, as his granddaughter, you think I’d be invited to his funeral,” Sarah told her followers. “If it’s any consolation to those who are angry about the spoiler alert, karma hit real fast and Boo just farted in my face and the smell was so bad she had to get off the bed because she couldn’t handle the heat.”
This is not the first time a major character was killed off of the show.
