Modern family star Eric Stone Street revealed his feelings were hurt when the potential spin-off featuring Cameron Mitch was rejected.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly Stone Street said, Chris Lloyd and a couple of the writers wrote a really great script that spun Jesse and I off in our life in Missouri and they said No, they just said, We don't want to do it I think it hurt Jessie and I I think it hurt Chris Lloyd's feelings.

He added.

I think Jessie and I maybe felt like they thought of us as the old guys or something like that.

That didn't seem worthy of keeping those characters going.

It felt a little hurtful.

But people make business decisions.

I mean, we can't get involved in that.

The actor claimed that if the network allowed them to go through with the project, it would have been a slam dunk.
