So I've heard both the rumor and denial from one of her bosses about Ariel's future (and Alex's) on Modern Family. All I have to say for now is I hope it isn't true (especially if it's for the financial reason given, which I'd find particularly cruel), but let's see what may or may not happen in the next few days (or at least until the show goes back into production next month to see if she's still there). If this blows over this will be the last you'll hear about it here.
But if it doesn't...
