Who is Haley Dunphy?

Haley Gwendolyn Dunphy (Sarah Hyland) is the daughter of Claire and Phil, who is portrayed as the stereotypical teenager. Haley is 15 at the beginning of the series, and is a freshman in college as of Season 4. Haley is depicted as being a bit of a bimbo, who focuses more on social status than studies. She is a little naive, especially when it comes to arguing with her parents. However, she is at times surprisingly cunning, such as when she carves a cell phone out of soap to win a contest of who can go the longest without using technology. Haley is embarrassed by her dad, especially when he tries to be friends with her boyfriend Dylan (to whom she lost her virginity, as revealed in season 3). She is concerned about her popularity at school, as well as her social and sexual life, which contributes to her being embarrassed by her parents. She is able to drive and talks to or texts her friends on her cell phone all the time. Haley also contemplated moving in with Dylan before learning that she got into college in the final episode of the third season. After a run-in with the law on campus in Season 4, she is expelled from college and is back living in the Dunphy home.
