Luke wants to quit magic and Phil just can’t seem to accept it. Meanwhile, one of Gloria’s new pregnancy symptoms is snoring and she’s keeping the whole house awake, forcing Jay to take desperate measures; and Mitch and Cam’s household dynamic is put to the test when they decide to swap duties — Mitch staying at home with Lily while Cam goes off to work at his new job as the music teacher at Luke and Manny’s school [ABC].

Why does Luke want to quit magic and for how long has he even been into it? How will Phil  come to terms  with Luke’s response? How will Gloria react when she discovers that she is snoring and moreover that it is disturbing others?Will Cameron  succeed in his new post or will he miss being at home with Lilly? How will Mitchell cope with spending more time at home, given the difficulties he faced previously  when being a stay at  home dad? Share your predictions and speculations in the comments section.

Additional Notes

• Jay  wants to discuss his issues with  Gloria with Claire, who instead wants to  indulge  in discussion about  Gloria’s  weight increase as a result of her pregnancy,
• Lilly and Mitchell  will experience  difficulties  in their relationship as  Lilly  points out Mitchells  flaws in the way  in which  he handles  his responsibility of caring for her. Cameron, on the other hand will be frustrated at  his new post where he has difficulty  getting along with the students.

Child Actors of Modern Family Also Set To Seek Raises

Just when it seemed that the production of Modern Family and ABC studios had sorted through its dispute with cast members, The Seattle Post  now reports that the child cast members are also asking for raises.

 The young stars Ariel Winter,[ Alex Dunphy] Rico Rodriguez,[ Manny Delgato] as well as Nolan Gould[  Luke Dunphy] are  supposedly scheduled to have a  meeting with officials from ABC next week which in addition to  a pay increase also include  securing posts for an extra eighth season.

Actress Sarah Hyland [ Haley  Dunphy] is set to have her contract renegotiated, but will do so separately seeing as she already earns a higher pay.

Although the three have demands, the manner in which they attempt to have them met will not need to be as drastic as the adult cast members who recently skipped a table reading and filed a law suit  against 20th Century Fox due to a technical glitch in with contract as a way to generate circumstances which warrant a negotiation

Although producers  initially expressed relief  as per our previous report at how the dispute with  the  adult cast had ended, allowing for all to focus on work for the coming season,it seems that there is now another set of issues which shall need to be addressed. Best wishes are extended to both the cast and the production during this critical period for a swift and mutually acceptable resolution.
