Why Sarah Hyland Doesn’t Recall Filming Parts of Modern Family

Not only was she exhausted, Bowen recalled that Hyland was also in pain. 

“I will never forget ‘What’s The Plan, Phil?’ Griffith Park,” Bowen said. “It was cold. Wearing a Haley special—like a Vegas skirt. She’s a small girl to begin with and she had kidney issues.”

They had almost finished filming the scene and needed one last take, and Bowen went to see if Hyland could handle another one. Hyland then got up “like a robot” to shoot the scene. 

“She [was] in a lot of pain,” Bowen said. “But you’d always turn it on when you needed to take care of business.”

“I never really said no,” Hyland added.

Bowen continued, “You never really said no until you were in the hospital.”
