When Modern Family returns for its new season this fall, gay couple – and parents to the adorable Lily – Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) will finally smooch, much to the relief of some fans. Show exec Steve Levitan assures E! that the pair’s kiss-less relationship in Season 1 was anything but intentional and that he doesn’t want their PDA episode to seem like response to viewer criticism that even sparked a Facebook campaign. “We’ve had an episode planned for a long time that dealt with that subject of [their being affectionate],” Levitan tells E!. “So it almost bothers us that there was a little bit of controversy about it. Because we don’t want to appear that we’re answering that criticism. But sure enough, we’re dealing with public displays of affection, and the power of a kiss. Seems simple, but intriguing – I hope.” – Ann Oldenburg
