Haley's wasted potential still bugs Modern Family fans.

Modern Family is a kind of mockumentary sitcom about the life of a giant family. Each character on the show is actually a handful, and you can never get enough of the hilarious things they do.

And each of them has their key personal traits: Gloria is the beautiful but awkward foreigner, Cam is a drama queen, Phil is an adorable husband, Alex is a dorky middle child, and Haley...

Well, the Haley Dunphy that they gave us is a little bit dull but a good-looking teenager.

At least that was the writers' idea for a long time. But over the course of the series, Haley's character became more complicated and intriguing.

That doesn't mean her changes were always for the better. For example, she had questionable boyfriend choices until one of the last seasons, until she met Andy and he finally seemed like the right fit for her.

Still, fans feel that Haley's character could have been more than they gave the audience.The fandom especially appreciated her in the later seasons, even after she dropped out of college.

It was exactly the time when she found a real passion in life, although it was shown so briefly that no one seemed to understand how big it actually was for Haley.

She showed interest in fashion and photography, and frankly, Haley was good at it! The Dunphy's eldest child uncovered some hidden talents in new and unexpected ways… only to have them thrown in the garbage.

And the most attentive fans thought that this might have been the best storyline of Haley and probably even the perfect way to end her story on the show.

"[Haley's] arc should've ended with the photography work. Having her be a freelance photographer for a magazine, traveling and enjoying life would've been a better ending than being knocked up," Reddit Adventurous-Ad-6792 user said.

Well, being a young mom with the most supportive family ever is not that bad, but for a modern girl it would not always be the first option to choose.
