Fans of Modern Family loved seeing photos of Julie Bowen Nolan Gould Ariel Winter Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Sofia Vergara attend Sarah Hylands summer 2022 wedding. It was great to see that the cast still sees each other as they always shared that they were close while filming the sitcoms 11 seasons.

While there are some sweet storylines that last across several episodes there are just as many plots that dont seem to go anywhere. Redditors are sharing the plotlines that they would have loved to see wrapped up properly as the characters are such an important part of each others lives.

Luke Has A Hipster Friend Group

There are some confusing things about Modern Familys Luke and hes the focus of a storyline that seems to be totally forgotten about. Redditor Snoo8506 posted that Luke and his hipster friends glasses long sleeve button down toboggan saying deuces are never brought up again. The fan wrote I wanted several episodes of this and then the family gets annoyed and yells at him and his friends.

Luke is seen as a ditzy part of the family for so many years and its always fun to see Luke get his own storylines. Viewers would have enjoyed seeing Luke have a strong close friend group for a long time.

What About Lukes Friend Rhonda?

Both Luke and Manny spend time with Rhonda but she only appears briefly on the sitcom. Redditor PracticalBird633 mentioned this forgotten plotline writing They brought her in about mid show made it seem like her and luke had a long time girl and guy best friend friendship got her all done up for the dance and then never mentioned her again.

Rhonda appears in the season 5 episode SpringaDingFling as she and Luke attend the dance and Claire doesnt approve of Rhonda and Luke getting dirty in mud beforehand. It would be nice to see Luke have a close friendship since he spends so much time with his family.

Haley Becomes An Influencer

Redditor Rosemoorstreet posted that Haleys Social Media Influencer business is another Modern Family plotline that seems to go nowhere. In season 5 Haley discovers that she loves photography which makes sense since she loves clothes so much. In season 8 Haley wants to run a business where she helps influencers become more wellknown and get more attention.

Its important seeing Haley realizing that shes passionate about something since she wasnt sure what she would do once she graduated from high school but this plotline doesnt come up again. Fans love seeing Haley with her adorable twins and her relationship with Dylan Marshall is great but Haley could have a thriving business too.

Phil Abandons His Magic Shop

Redditor natankari12 posted I hate how many plots the show starts and then just gives up on including Phils magic shop. Phils best Modern Family quotes often see him sharing his love and passion for magic.

In season 9 Phil is told that he could have spent more time working on his hobby and Claire purchases a magic store. This means so much to him but after a while no one hears about it which seems confusing. Its unlike Phil to move past this opportunity.

Why Doesnt Luke Beat Phil At Basketball?

Redditor zachlikethat posted that in the pilot Phil says that he and Luke always play trampoline basketball. Its a sweet and important memory for both of them. The fan wrote one day he wishes luke to beat him or something like that. This plot is literally never continued and I wish we could get some sort of conclusion to this in the last season or finale.

This would definitely have been a moving way to end the sitcom and it does seem like Phil would want to play this game with his son again as the two spent Lukes childhood having a lot of fun playing games and coming up with inventions. It would feel like the story came full circle.

Haley And Andys Love Story Doesnt Have A Real Conclusion

Replying in a thread about unfinished storylines one Redditor said Andy and Haley!!! The buildup to their relationship was amazing.

While Andy Bailey does tell Haley that hes moving to Utah the end of their romance is a bit confusing and could use more resolution. It seems like when they say goodbye at the airport theyre leaving the possibility open for a future relationship but then Andy disappears from Haleys life for good. Fans would have liked to hear Haley mention Andy sometimes as it seems like they would have kept in touch since they mean so much to each other.

Gil Thorpes Storyline Isnt Finished

For Redditor moagi_mmolotsi there are many characters who are mentioned for a short period of time on the show and then are gone. The fan wrote that they liked Gil Thorpe too but he just faded away although he stuck around a bi longer than the rest.

Although not one of the funniest Modern Family side characters Gil does play a key role for a while as Phils real estate enemy. Some minor characters appear time and time again but Gil just stops being part of the show.

Peppers Son Kyle Isnt Mentioned Again

In the season 4 episode A Slight at the Opera Cam and Mitchs good friend Pepper Saltzman shares that he has a son named Kyle. Redditor noseybean responded in a thread about forgotten plotlines and wrote Where did Peppers navy seal son go?

It would make sense for viewers to be introduced to Kyle or to hear Pepper bring him up again. It doesnt make sense that Pepper wouldnt talk about his child as it seems like Kyle means a lot to him. Pepper is a sweet character who is part of great plotlines and it would make sense to include his son in the sitcom.

Does Alex See Drew Again?

In season 5 Alex and Drew attend a school dance together which is interesting since in season 1 Alex shares with Claire that she has zero interest in this type of activity. Redditor devanasaurous replied in a thread about storylines that the show abandoned and wrote Ditto the guy Alex went to the dance with ironically.

Alex has many Modern Family love interests and it seems strange that she would bond with someone and go to a dance with them and then they would never be seen on the sitcom again. Viewers definitely wonder what could have been or if Alex and Drew could have at least remained friends.

What Happens To Cams Sister Pam?

Pam isnt the most beloved Modern Family character. She doesnt treat Cam and Mitch well when she stays in their home as shes judgmental and can be cruel. Mitch and Cam look after Pams son Cal and give her several chances to get her life back on track.

Redditor Rosemoorstreet mentioned that Pam living upstairs is a storyline on the sitcom that doesnt go anywhere. While fans learn that Pam is getting married she just disappears and there isnt a huge resolution here especially since she is in Mitch and Cams life for a long time.
