'Switched At Birth' Season 5 Cast & Spoilers
It's the 2017 premiere of Switched At Birth, which enters its final season. The drama kicks off right at the beginning as Daphne and Bay are called home for some kind of emergency. At the end of last season, the two girls were heading off to China, but then ended up living there for months. Now, they are thrown back into the mix with family and friends, having to adjust to changes that have gone on while they were away. Daphne and Bay had actually been gone 10 months and Executive Producer Lizzy Weiss tells TV Line: We pick up 10 months later, as we promised in the final moments of Season 4, and we throw you into China. We answer why the girls stayed longer than their initial visit of just a few weeks. Then, of course, there’s the question of the call, and we answer in the premiere why the girls had to rush home, what happened and what that was about. We just knew that it just had to be a really compelling, important reason to get them to bolt, and it had to be really important to both girls. You could tell from that moment that both of them were going to be impacted by the person on the other end of the phone.
