SARAH Hyland has revealed her disappointment at her character's story line spanning the final season of Modern Family.

Hyland has famously played Haley Dunphy on the popular sitcom since day one.

When season 11 kicked off in 2019 Haley was pregnant with twins, but Hyland didn't agree with the decision for her character as she came to terms with the end of an era.

She told Cosmopolitan: ''I don’t think I’m processing, I haven’t really felt the sadness yet."

The actress suggested she'd rather have seen Haley ''own her badassery in the fashion world—becoming a badass stylist or brand mogul or anything like that.''

Haley's character was known for dropping out of college and while she doesn't get the best grades she excels with fashion, where her passion truly lies.

In the penultimate season, she falls pregnant with twins after reconciling with her on-off boyfriend Dylan (Reid Erwing).

Dylan's character, much like Haley, was underestimated because of his laid back, carefree demeanour.

Hyland added that she found the lack of depth in the finale disappointing for her character.

“There are so many amazing mothers who are also hard workers and excel at their jobs and kill it every day in both aspects,” she continued.

“That would have been a really cool thing to see, especially from someone like Haley.”

The ABC drama's final episode will air after an hour-long 'mockumentary' with the cast.

Sofia Vergara, Ariel Winter and the rest of the cast will be ready to say their final goodbyes and reflect on their happy memories together.

The decade-long sitcom will come to an end in the US tonight, April 8.
