My Take
Sarah Hyland is, for me, inseparable from Haley Dunphy, and that's a double-edged blessing. Playing the eldest daughter on Modern Family for eleven years meant growing up in front of the audience, from a scrappy teenager into an adult woman, in real time. That kind of long arc is both a gift and a trap for any performer. She clearly has range beyond it, with voice and stage work in her resume, yet she remains tethered to one defining show. What I respect is how she keeps moving forward with apparent good humor. Living alongside a single character for that many years is no small thing.
