Lizzy Weiss and Switched at Birth Season 4B

Lizzy Weiss, the creator of Switched at Birth, talked about Season 4B and the premiere episode airing today. Of course, there will be a lot of drama coming our way, but we can see this season is promising to be the best season yet!!

What can we expect of season 4B?

Bay tries to get her life together, Daphne explores a relationship with someone appropriate for the first time in a while, the Kennishes face a crisis, Regina gets the truth about Eric’s past, and there is an unintended pregnancy in the family.


Is there a major message or discussion you will be approaching on the show like the rape story? Or is it still too soon to reveal it?
As I’ve alluded to, there is a controversial story as well in this half of the season. And it will begin in the premiere.


From some previews we can see the premiere will be very emotional, Toby cries, Bay cries, Travis is sad..is there any hope we will see any happy story? Or all those sadness will develop into the season?

Great question! That promo was pretty emotional! And it’s all real, we do have, as always, a lot of meaty stuff happening, but we definitely have joy and laughs and line dancing and shirtless hot boys, too.


The part the most fans wants to know is whether or not Bay and Emmett will ever be back together. Obviously we will need to keep watching but our question is; is there something Bay and Emmett will learn about their relationship, attitude or decisions that led them to disconnect to a point of breaking up?

Yes, you’ve hit it on the head. The premiere dives into Bay’s heartbreak as she obsesses about the break-up and what went wrong and she does come to some kind of answer. There is more to come later with Bemmett as well, a big episode and a twist.


What did you like the most about writing this season?

Truthfully, I just love working with my team - Paul, Linda, Terry, Bill, Dayna, Henry, and Bekah, plus our incredible assistants Darla, Colin, Beth, Alexander, and Jess. I’m incredibly lucky to have a job where I’m around a group of intelligent, funny, hard-working, creative people for hours on end as we sit around and make up stories about a bunch of characters that we love. We are on hiatus and I miss them! How many people can say that about their coworkers?


What is your favorite part or scene of the premiere/season?

We do something kind of crazy in the premiere, we took some chances doing something we’ve never done before, and I absolutely love how it turned out. You’ll know what I mean when you see it. And I’ll talk about how we shot it after it airs.


Do you have any message to the fans?

It’s been a joy to watch people online express their excitement about the show coming back and how much they’ve missed it. It’s also really fun to read about people who discover the show for the first time and gobble it up quickly because they become addicted. The first couple episodes are going to be pretty important in terms of gauging people’s interest in the show for Season 5, so if they want more, they should definitely watch.

Thank you Lizzy for all your support and attention to our page/blog!

Switched at Birth Season 4B starts today August 24th at 8pm/7c on ABC Family.
