Who is Haley Dunphy in Modern Family?
The popular one, smarter than advertised · The Dunphys
Haley Dunphy (The popular one, smarter than advertised) is a character in Modern Family, part of The Dunphys. Haley Dunphy enters as the eldest Dunphy and the family's designated airhead: phone-welded, boy-orbited, fluent in eye-roll. The series slowly declassifies her: the fashion instincts become a career, the social intelligence turns out to be the Dunphy superpower in its purest form, and the on-off thing with earnest, dim, devoted Dylan refuses every opportunity to die. Haley's whole arc is the show's best long joke — the kid everyone underestimated, underestimating herself last.
