The role eventually went to Julie Bowen, and "Modern Family" became a highly successful series, winning 22 Emmys. Greer explained her decision was influenced by her desire to travel and work on diverse projects. Meanwhile, Jesse Tyler Ferguson hinted at a potential "Modern Family" reunion, sparking fan excitement.
