Sofía Vergara Says She Jokingly Reminds Ed O'Neill 'Don't Die' So They Can Make a Modern Family 'Sequel' One Day

Sofía Vergara is keen on returning to 'Modern Family', but she knows it's not quite time yet – so she keeps reminding her former costar Ed O'Neill "don't die" so that he can be part of the "sequel"

But Vergara, 52, does have an ongoing joke with her former onscreen husband, Ed O'Neill, regarding a potential follow-up to the show, which aired for 11 seasons from 2009 to 2020. Hyland, 33, added that she'd want to see her character do what her onscreen mom, Claire ( Julie Bowen) "set out to do and did as an amazing mother as well as a businesswoman and CEO."
