Sarah Hyland suspects her character may be killed off in the final season of Modern Family after it was announced a significant character would die, she revealed to DailyMailTV.

The 27-year-old admitted that ABC showrunners have kept her in the dark and she hadn't yet talked to her co-stars about the dramatic twist.

Speaking to DailyMailTV at the star-studded Audi Celebrates the 70th Emmys event, Hyland said: 'I have no idea. I don't even know. Could be me. Goodbye Haley Dunphy. Who knows?'

But Hyland said she was ready to leave the show behind, revealing she wants to ditch comedy for a dramatic role, adding that she refuses to be 'pigeonholed' as her teen character Haley Dunphy.

Speaking to DailyMailTV at an Emmy event, Hyland (pictured with co-star Sofía Vergara) said: 'I have no idea. I don't even know. Could be me. Goodbye Haley Dunphy. Who knows?'

Hyland told DailyMailTV: 'For 14 years I did dramas, so I'm excited to possibly get back into dramas. I would really love to do some action.

'I just find it invigorating and I've done some action work on things before and some wirework and I just absolutely loved it, so I would love to do more things like that in film.'

She added: 'If that means I have to knock doors down then I will. I will refuse to be kept in a pigeonhole that is Haley Dunphy.'

Hyland earns an estimated $110,000 per episode on the show, which starts its farewell season on September 26.

It's estimated the show and her status as a top TV star has helped her amass a $9 million fortune.

Her refreshing approach to fighting for roles and auditioning despite her success is coupled with a desire to get behind the cameras as well.

Hyland said: 'I actually filmed a movie this summer that I executive produced called The Wedding Year. It should hopefully be out next year.

'But I really love producing and I love being behind the scenes as well as in front of the camera. It's really invigorating for me and it's something new and different and you can get comfortable playing the same character for so long.'

Hyland learned from her success that being in Hollywood is not all glamorous parties and award ceremonies, but requires 'passion, a work ethic', with the need to be able to 'really hone your craft.'

She added: 'Trust me, it is not worth it if you do not want to do this for the rest of your life.'

Hyland was at several Emmy events with her Bachelorette alum boyfriend Wells Adams, who said they 'are happy and really in love' after moving in together.
