Actress Elizabeth Banks took to social media to thank the Modern Family cast ahead of their “bittersweet” final episode that airs this evening on ABC. In the tweet, she captioned, “Tonight is the last episode of #ModernFamily ever. Bittersweet for all us fans. A special thank you to the Pritchett-Tuckers for always having Sal’s back. Even when she shows up unannounced and/or intoxicated.” The hilarious video she shared along with her post featured a scene with the Pitch Perfect star in it as her recurring character Sal.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson who plays Mitchell Pritchett on the hit comedy series, commented saying, “You should have won an Emmy for this scene.” The Modern Family Twitter account shared their love for Banks and her character by writing, “We love Sal! Thanks for being part of our #ModernFamily.”

“It’s been an amazing journey with my #ModernFamily [heart emoji] It’s hard to type this because it still doesn’t feel real…our 2 hour series finale event is tomorrow night at 8/7c on [ABC Network] [ABC Modern Fam] We are all so grateful for the love we’ve received over the course of this 11 year journey. To know our fans love our family just as much as we do is the most amazing gift,” she captioned the memories. “Also…WE HAVE/HAD THE BEST CREW IN THE WORLD. They are a HUGE, insanely important part of our Modern Family [heart emoji] Even though you only see us on your screens, we have just as wonderful people working behind the camera that I will miss seeing all the time. We have been so lucky. [heart emoji].”
