‘Modern Family’ Considering Recasting Character

A “Modern Family” character may be recast for the upcoming season.

The ABC comedy is looking for a new actor to play the part of Cameron and Mitchell’s adopted daughter, Lily, currently played by twins Jaden and Ella Hiller.

”We adore Jaden and Ella, but have started to think that they’d rather be at home playing than working as actors,” executive producer Steve Levitan told Entertainment Weekly, which first reported the story.

However, fans of the character – and the twins that play the little one – should know it’s not a done deal.

“If we end up making a change, it’s only because we want what’s best for them,” Levitan added.

Levitan previously hinted to EW that trouble was brewing with the tiny stars.

“We all may determine that as gorgeous and sweet as Jaden and Ella are, it’s not what they signed up to do or what they love,” he told the mag in May. “Maybe they don’t love to be on a set and have to listen to us do a scene 10 times. Maybe they would be happier being kids. We don’t want them to be unhappy. If we feel it’s not in their best interest to stay, we will replace them, and ask that people forgive us for doing so.”

“Modern Family” starts filming its third season, beginning next month in Los Angeles, according to the mag.

In the meantime, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell on the show, will guest judge on FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance,” next week, per TV Guide.
