Despite its beloved characters and captivating plotlines, Modern Family has often received criticism concerning how it developed several of its characters. One such character also includes Haley Dunphy, portrayed by Sarah Hyland in the sitcom.

Haley Dunphy is introduced as a typical teenager with a keen interest in fashion, popularity, and boys rather than academics or career ambitions. However, she experiences significant growth, as she pursues her passion for fashion and styling while working toward getting her life together.

But as the show progressed, much of this development takes a backseat with her getting back with her on-again-off-again boyfriend Dylan, getting pregnant, and eventually marrying him, a turn of events that has left many fans disappointed.
