Actually, one really fun episode is Travis goes and visits Emmett out in L.A. and removed from all the other characters? How challenging is it to keep Emmett in the universe of the show when he is broken up with Bay and he is out in L.A. They do in different ways give her a little push out the door. Her parents are going to have to help her, and her friends are going to have to help her. That is part of the premiere, certainly, and all 10 episodes are about getting a life for her.… She didn’t get into art school, she only applied to one place, she doesn’t have a job or an internship and this girl’s got to get herself on her feet again.

She’s been on hold for a whole semester because of taking the fall for Daphne and hasn’t really gotten traction on anything. So now that she’s in this rut and in Kansas City, what can we expect to see from her work-wise and school-wise? 'Switched at Birth' Scores 'My So-Called Life' Star for Season 4 (Exclusive)īay was planning to move to L.A. So who knows? Don’t people say that and things happen down the line and they laugh about it later? Or they don’t laugh about it and they say, “That was awful. For him, it was everything, but they are just seeing things differently. She was so shocked in that moment that he would do that right then, when for her, she was feeling so vulnerable after that assault. People get pissed off, and they mean when they say it. One of the big events in the finale was the end of “ Bemmett” and specifically Bay saying, “If you do this now, it is forever.” Is this really the end? How concerned were you about putting that kind of finality on such a central relationship of the show? It was hard to shoot, it was scary to produce and wonder if it was going to work out, but it came out really cool and I’m really excited for everyone to see it. We do something very unusual in the premiere, something we’ve never done before. I just really wanted to explore that nightmarish feeling of not being able to get out of that loop in your head and replaying good moments and bad moments. They obsess and run over in their heads again and again and again what happened and what went wrong, what I could have done differently. She’s spending a lot of time in bed with the curtains closed and she’s obsessing, and I think girls do that a lot. What does that heartache look like for her? I wanted to keep the heartache for Bay really fresh and juicy and dive right into her hell.

How far after the events of the midseason finale does the premiere pick up?Ībout one to two weeks. THRcaught up with Weiss to discuss the breakup fallout, Daphne’s new romance and a possible time jump.

However, that’s hardly the only drama facing the Kennish and Vasquez families in the wake of the midseason finale, in which Daphne ( Katie Leclerc) rededicated herself to becoming a doctor (despite failing her premed class), Toby’s girlfriend admitted to cheating on him (at least emotionally) and - most devastatingly - Bay ( Vanessa Marano) and Emmett ( Sean Berdy) broke up.

“That story, which you will find out in the premiere who it is, that’s a pretty big story and leads to a lot of changes in the family.” “There is an unexpected pregnancy for the family and that becomes a big story for the whole show,” creator and showrunner Lizzy Weiss tells The Hollywood Reporter. When Switched at Birth returns Monday for the second half of season four, one of the characters will come bearing big news.
