Emma Kenney and Ethan Cutkosky are about to reunite on after spending 11 seasons as members of the Gallagher family that was central to the Showtime series.

Ahead of Cutkosky’s debut on the ABC sitcom, ET has an exclusive look at the episode, “Parent Trap and Heart Attacks,” while the two actors tease what’s in store for his character.

After playing the troublemaking Carl Gallagher, Cutkosky will now appear as “Neville and Louise’s nephew,” Kenney says, referring to the characters played by Nat Faxon and Katey Sagal, both of whom have now married into the family.More specifically, Cutkosky plays their jaded 17-year-old nephew, Caleb, who gets welcomed in by the Conners after his father passes away unexpectedly.

Prior to his death, “we never met Ethan’s character though,” Kenney says. “And now Ethan is a nephew that’s coming into the Conner family.”And in the clip above, Caleb begrudgingly meets Darlene (Sara Gilbert), Becky (Lecy Goranson) and Dan (John Goodman), who all get the brunt of his sarcastic attitude despite offering him a place to stay in their ever-increasingly crowded home. “Nothing says, ‘Welcome to the family,’ like sleeping outside.
