Vanessa Marano on 'Switched at Birth's Final Season: 'Bay & Daphne Come Home & Stay Home'

It kind of sounds like Bay and Daphne might be grounded…in some sort of way.

When Switched at Birth star Vanessa Marano spoke to JJJ recently, she opened up about the phone call that calls them home, which we’ll see in the premiere episode on January 31st.

“I want everyone to keep in mind that when we shot that ending scene, we – myself and Katie – had no idea what the phone call was,” she clarifies about the end of season four.

“We shot that scene not knowing pretty much anything – of what the phone call was, of how they got to China, no information whatsoever and we were very confused.”

Vanessa added, “Now we actually know that information…I can tell you that us being in China has nothing to do with the phone call that we received. I can tell you that we do come home. Bay and Daphne are back in Kansas City this season. The phone call forces them to come home and stay home.”

What else will we see in the premiere episode? “Bay is actually speaking more Chinese this season,” she tells us. “I’m not happy about it, but you know, it’s Switched At Birth and there are just so many languages on this show.”

FYI: Vanessa, wearing Imagine Vince Camuto heels, is also pictured at the Disney/ABC TCA Party at the Langham Hotel on Tuesday night (January 10) in Pasadena, Calif.
