For weeks we have been speculating on WHO will be killed off in the final season of Modern Family… and now, the wait is over.

The episode aired today in the United States, confirming that the big reveal was Delia ‘DeDe’ Pritchett (Shelley Long), Jay Pritchett’s ex-wife, and Claire Dunphy’s mother.
To say the least, fans were really disappointed, mainly because she has only appeared in seven episodes. The show has 214 episodes to date.
The show declared her as a “beloved” character on social media today, however, DeDe has only been shown as aggressive, manipulative and inappropriate during her time on the show.

The show has teased the death to be pretty “significant” so now, fans are questioning their decision.

When they said there's going to be a death on #ModernFamily I thought it was going to be a major character, not someone who's been on a few eps.

The Modern Family death is not nearly as dramatic as I thought.

tbh i'm a little sad what is probably our last halloween episode (and first after a dry spell) overshadowed by the death of my least favorite (and most annoying character) #modernfamily
