On May 10, 2012, ABC renewed Modern Family for a fourth season. Two months later, after the show received 14 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, series creators Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd shared some of the story lines with TVLine. The season premiere "is kind of picking up right where we left off, with Gloria's announcement to the audience that she’s pregnant," says Levitan. "Everybody, as you can imagine, has big reactions to this news, and the whole episode is about that." Mitch and Cam will be dealing with the contrast between their unsuccessful attempts to adopt a second child during the third season and Gloria's unintended pregnancy. The baby will be born about midway through the season. Haley will remain involved in the show even though she is in college. "She stays in touch, and she visits home; it's kind of a typical first-year-in-college experience, in that she feels a little bit of loneliness and adjustment," according to Lloyd. "She wants her family, but doesn't want her family." Cameron will be returning to teaching middle school "to kind of fill his void a little bit." LESS
