Sarah Hyland Reveals Why She Doesn't Remember Filming A Lot of 'Modern Family' Episodes

Sarah Hyland is opening up about how taxing it was on her just before her first kidney transplant all while filming Modern Family at the same time.

If you’re unaware, the 31-year-old actress was born with kidney dysplasia, which is a condition where the kidneys don’t develop as they typically would in the womb.

Sarah has had over 16 surgeries, and that includes two kidney transplants.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Quitters podcast, Sarah revealed that her health definitely plays a factor in what she can remember from filming on Modern Family.

“There are some episodes of Modern Family where I do not remember filming because I was asleep,” Sarah explained. “Dead a** asleep. The episode where Haley asked [Luke for] money and he’s like, ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got it on ice.’ It’s in the freezer or something. The entire episode I was asleep.”

She also explained that in order to go through a second transplant, a person must be “a certain level of sick in order to receive a transplant,” and that she “was reaching that certain level” before her first transplant.

“I was not able to be awake for eight hours at a time,” Sarah added. “I was so exhausted.”

Both of her kidney transplants came from her father, and then her brother.

Sarah and her TV mom Julie Bowen both remembered that Sarah was in pain as well.

“I will never forget ‘What’s The Plan, Phil?’ Griffith Park,” Julie shared. “It was cold. Wearing a Haley special—like a Vegas skirt. She’s a small girl to begin with and she had kidney issues.”

She added, “She [was] in a lot of pain, but you’d always turn it on when you needed to take care of business.”

“I never really said no,” Sarah added.

Recently, Sarah has opened up about planning her wedding with fiance Wells Adams.
