'Switched at Birth' Season 5 Spoilers: A Divorce in the Future?
The upcoming season of the series "Switched at Birth" is expected to surprise fans with lots of exciting twists.
Season 4 of "Switched at Birth" saw Bay, played by Vanessa Marano, and Daphne, played by Katie Leclerc, leaving to China. With that, fans are wondering what will happen to the two as they are forced to return home once again.
The creator of the series Lizzy Weiss was able to share some details about the upcoming season. It was revealed that season 5 will be jam-packed with events since they had many ideas inputted into the plot. However, she revealed that not everything about the series has been confirmed yet. It was stated that she and the other writers had many ideas for what could be bringing Bay and Daphne back home. Weiss revealed that one of the reasons for the return is due to Kathryn, played by Lea Thompson, and John's, played by D.W. Moffett, relationship problems. It was reported that the two could be facing a divorce in the episodes to come.
As reported by TV Line, Weiss also stated, "She was owed a freak out about losing the car wash and having money problems and becoming a grand mother so soon. We thought it would be fun to see her panic. In everybody's marriage, there are bumps … and hopefully you push past them."
Aside from Kathryn and John's struggling relationship, fans were sad to see Bay and Emmett break up in the previous season. Weiss shared her sentiments about the two. She stated, "With some distance, he now realizes how Bay felt about him not standing by her. I love that scene for the moment when he says, "Here are all of the things you've gone through this year, and you're still standing and doing great." It's a testament to their relationship in the long run."
"Switched at Birth" season 5 is expected to return on ABC sometime this year.
