Allow Frances Anderson to reintroduce herself.
The actress formerly known as Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, who broke out for her role as adoptee Lily on the Emmy-winning sitcom Modern Family, has changed her name to Frances Anderson. Anderson has adopted the new moniker to coincide with her pivot to a career in music. Her debut indie pop EP, "Drown," is out now.
"Frances is actually part of my legal name," Anderson, 18, explained to E! News on Friday. "It’s my middle name, and it’s after my mom’s old family friend. I thought it was a bit shorter than Aubrey Anderson-Emmons. I do have a long, hyphenated last name.”
Anderson added, "I wanted to switch it up and people to see a new side of me. And I wanted to create a space specifically just for music."
She released the first single from the EP, "Telephones and Traffic," in May.
Anderson made her television debut at the age of 4 in season 3 of Modern Family, playing the precocious adopted daughter of Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Mitchell Pritchett and Eric Stonestreet's Cam Tucker. She has won three ensemble Screen Actors Guild Awards alongside the sitcom's cast. The comedy, which ran for 11 seasons on ABC, concluded in 2020.Anderson made her television debut at the age of 4 in season 3 of Modern Family, playing the precocious adopted daughter of Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Mitchell Pritchett and Eric Stonestreet's Cam Tucker.

Anderson told E! that she "had to take a step back from acting" once the show ended to discover her passion for music. "The show ended when I was 12 years old, so after that I decided I’m not gonna act anymore," she said. Rest assured, though, that Anderson does "plan on acting again — 100 percent.”
She has maintained a close relationship with her former onscreen fathers and other costars from the sprawling cast. Ferguson and Julie Bowen, who played Anderson's onscreen aunt Claire, staged a mini-reunion when they attended Anderson's school play last year.
Anderson last made headlines when she came out as bisexual last month, using memorable throwback audio from Modern Family to help mark the announcement. "You are Vietnamese," Sofia Vergara's Gloria informs Lily, who says in response, "No, I'm not. I'm gay!"
"I literally am," Anderson captioned the post.

Manny was kind of doomed to fail. His whole character was how hilariously adult-like he acted. That inevitably stopped being funny once he became an adult, which is a shame given that he was actually one of my favorite characters in the early seasons.

I see alot of photos of reunions, weddings and get togethers, just saw some pictures yesterday of Sofia Vergara, Ed Oneill, Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler, Eric Stonestreet and Ariel Winter.
Have seen photos with Luke and Haley in them, but, lots of times,Ty Burrell is nowhere to be found.
What am I missing here?

All I knew was I was going to hate Jay, and well to be frank I was really in the wrong

In you guys' opinion, who is the main character in modern family? Is it one of the kids? Is it one of the adults? I feel like it's hard to decide when every episode has several storylines going on at once in just 20 minutes each. I can see Jay being like the official/top billed main character because of his previous family comedy background and who he is as a character, but I also feel like he can sometimes be a side character if an episode doesn't focus on Jay and Gloria, Manny, Joe etc's side of the family. What do you guys think?

I'm just over thinking this and the writers never thought of it but Cali is a community property state so unless jay got Dedee to sign a post nip he would have had to liquidate a lot or make Dedee a silent parter to settle the estate

Very sweet interview with Jesse and Eric.

Cam and Mitch always made me feel a certain way I couldn’t put my finger on it, but as I was watching the show today, I think I finally get it. It’s because Cam acts more like a stereotypical woman than a gay man. Mitch feels more real, perhaps because Jesse is actually gay and Eric is not. However, the writing doesn’t help either, as Cam takes on the traditional roles of a woman in a marriage, especially at the start of the show.
I think I subconsciously felt offended and weirded out by this specific aspect of Cam’s character. Even though he is NOT a woman, it feels like the show tries to frame it as "normal." Maybe I’m reading too much into it and am completely wrong, but whatever.
I also don’t love Cam. Sure, I find him funny, but I don’t actually like him his character just seems like an insufferable person to be around.
