Like with Regina, we always knew that Eric was the guy, and that Luca was for now.
But there wasn’t one big turn where I felt like, “Oh God, that will never be told.” All of the key stuff with the key players, we got to do. It was more like there were stories and episodes we were bummed we didn’t get to do because we thought the fans would love them. Speaking of Toby, we wanted to explore that family becoming Jewish, and the Kennishes throwing a Passover seder and how fun that would be. That probably would have been over the course of the next ten episodes. I always wanted to have Toby give up music and choose to move into a career with disability.
Lizzy Weiss | There were decisions we may have taken more time with. So were there certain things that you had to speed up or that you didn’t quite get to?
TVLINE | The news came down while you were in the middle of production on the season. But a lot of it we decided in the moment after many, many weeks of throwing things around. I always knew that we would shake up John and Kathryn one last time and remind everyone that they’re the center, and they will not be moved as a couple. But I don’t know that we knew the exact moves of the story until we were faced with that in the moment. Lizzy Weiss | There were general decisions that were made, like that Bay and Travis stay together. TVLINE | How much of this ending was what you originally envisioned before you got the news that the show wasn’t coming back? Elsewhere, Regina convinced Eric to turn himself in so they could one day be together, and Kathryn discovered that before the switch was unearthed, John thought Bay wasn’t his daughter, but stuck around anyway.īelow, Weiss talks about her vision for the series ender, the storylines that got cut and the possibility of a reunion. Still, Bay and Travis reaffirmed their commitment to each other as a long-distance couple, while Daphne and Mingo reunited. “There was a lot of discussion about Bay as a young woman and that the conversation kept getting framed as, ‘Which boy was she going to choose?’ and we were are all very sensitive to that. The show’s central love triangle also took a familial turn when, rather than moving to Japan with her boyfriend Travis, Bay asked her ex Emmett to accompany his “brother.” The final sight of unlikely sisters Bay and Daphne splayed across the grass was meant to evoke the “iconic image” of the show’s early key art, executive producer Lizzy Weiss tells TVLine, adding that she hopes the series finale leaves viewers feeling “the same way when you shut it off as you did when you started, that this is a very special family that you wanted to be part of.” Switched at Birth concluded its five-season run on Tuesday in much the same way it started: with a strong sense of family as the Kennish-Vasquez clan laid on their front lawn together, gazing up at a rare comet.
