“Our neighbour was looking at a casting call and saw they were looking for newborn twins,” Whitfield Pomeranz, whose husband Josh is Margaret’s son, told Confidential. “We sent photos to the casting agent and they were cast.”

The role was for the twins to play newborns of Sarah Hyland’s character, Haley Dunphy.

“We did not know they were going to be one of the main characters babies," she said.
