‘Switched at Birth’ season 4, episode 11 preview: Return date speculation and more
Last week, “Switched at Birth” gave us what is a temporary finale, and now, we’re left speculating further about the future of the show.
First and foremost here, let’s ask the obvious question on the minds of many: When in the world is this show going to be returning to ABC Family? Sadly, there is no precise answer to that question right now. It’s certainly not coming on tomorrow night, and instead, you are going to be left waiting until (most likely) the summer to see what happens to Bay and Emmett next after that stunning (or was it really?) split. The thing that surprised us the most about it airing this winter was the network scheduling it alongside “Pretty Little Liars.” Given that these two shows are the biggest hits for the network, you would think that each one would air on a separate night, However, that has turned out to not actually be the case here.
When the show does return, we really just expect more of the same, except that we plan on seeing Bay try to move forward with her life a little. She’s ultimately done everything that she can for now in that relationship, and she has to figure out how to be happy. Sometimes, this sort of journey can help to bring people back together, but they have to go through the thick of it first.
Don’t worry; we’re sure that it will not be a quiet few months when it comes to the show, so we will continue to bring you as many spoilers as we can while you wait for the show to return.
What do you ultimately want to see when “Switched at Birth” returns to the air? Let us know right now with a comment, and head over here to get some other news related to the series!

I think Bay should end up pregnant…by who? Tank from that little mishap or by Emmets. Little visit back when Bay got “taken advantage of”. We wait to find out who’s the father. And hoping it’s Emmets they belong together.

I love Bay and Emmett. But if they don’t get back together, then just have Bay with no one for now. And let her focus on herself! That’s the only thing I don’t like about this show, the girls ALWAYS have to be with SOMEONE! Why can’t they just be alone for a while after a breakup! Don’t bring Ty back … That’s stupid, and like someone else said, cliche! With that being said, I can’t wait for this show to air again! Get Bay into an art college. And have daphne and Mingo have a longer term relationship!

I would actually like to see Bay apologize and get back with Tank, and let them have a shot for real. Tank valued all the qualities that Bay had. He loved her strong will towards things that matter. Neither Emmett or Ty have let Bay shine. She is always chasing them in hopes they love her and then when things get a little tough they run away. Not Tank, even when accused of the unthinkable he stood and asked for her forgiveness and wanted to make sure She was okay. He did not run away. So I want a chance for Tank and Bay to have a solid chance at a relationship.
Daphne needs to be single for once and figure out herself without a guy in her life.
Whoa
April 29, 2015 @ 4:32 am
This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard in my life. You want Bay to apologize to Tank for him raping her?! And you think they should date after he assaulted her?! :-/ And Tank didn’t apologize or care about how she was doing. All he cared about was himself, he never once asked if she was okay. I don’t think Emmett is a good boyfriend at all but he’s certainly a better choice than the guy who raped her when she was drunk.

I think that Daphne and Mingo need to straighten out their relationship, or Wilke should come back. As for Regina and that doofus, he either needs to man up tell her the truth about his wife or she should dump his butt. Bay and Emmett were the cutest couple before he cheated and I feel like Bay will try to get over him and be unsuccessful and Emmett will try to date Skye (she sucks) but also still have feelings for Bay and I wish they would get back together but not likely.

I always got slightly annoyed with the Bay and Emmet relationship especially since there was always something wrong in it. But I have to admit I did shed a few tears when I saw the break up. Hopefully when the season returns I want to see Emmet in so much pain and regret for what he did and I definetely want Bay to find someone new but more of a rebound and not permanent because in the end it is Bay and Emmet forever. ;)

I was excited for the show tonight and when I found out there wasn’t one I was really bummed!!! But when the show does return, I would kind of like to see Daphne and Mingo get together because I think on the inside he is a really sweet guy, or even maybe daphne and josh. I know he is only her turor but they could maybe be cute! I hope that Travis and Marry Beth work things out because I believe they truly care for eachother. She even learns ASL for him! And Regina, I don’t know if I like Eric, he seems really shady. I hope that Kathryn gets her musical on Broadway, I think she really needs that right now. I don’t really like Toby with Lily, I liked Nickie more with him… But Bay and Emmett. That’s the hardest thing. I mean I see how people want Bay and Ty back together but I just don’t like him. I get he has had a difficult life but I feel he isn’t the man he should be in a relationship… I really like Emmett and Bay. When he showed up at her house, that was perfect, and so cute, it screamed “I love you.” When Bay ran after him in the poorimg rain, was cute, sad, but cute! And when she showed up in LA that was sweet. And he made a movie about their relationship. I loved it… The ending I feel was trying to show how he felt about it. Was it right? No. But it was how he truly felt… When they broke up Emmett seemed heartless. And Bay, the words she spoke were perfect, especially about the time line. I hope that she continues doing her bench seat project and I hooe Emmett continues doing what he is doing. I think it would be cool if bay moved to LA, if there is an art school there, idk, but if so she should go there! Make friends, do really well and then Emmett just sees her. I want him to realize what he lost. He shouldn’t be so mad at her because he did the same thing once! I just hope Emmett doesn’t get in a relationship with Sky, I don’t like her. Ugh, I just liked Bay and Emmett together.

I can’t believe they did’t say anything about the show not airing til summer?!?!?!! Like everyone else in this feed, I too LOOOOOVE this show! I watched everything on netflix and anxiously wait every week for the new episodes, and two weeks in a row now, i’ve been looking for a season 4 episode 11 to watch and then finally came across this news!!! Please bring the show back asap! I love Bay & Emmett together, but they have a lot of issues to work through, and maybe only time will tell. I also looooved Regina and Angelo together!! I know he’s dead already, but gosh they were such a cute couple! He was soooo hot! LoL. And yes, i also would like to see Wilkie come back! Please just bring the show back soon!!! I love this show! It made me want to learn more about the deaf community and also try to learn ASL! It’s a great eye-opener on the deaf community that we all don’t know much about!

March 23, 2015 @ 9:30 am
I think she should be single a bit but that won’t happen. Ty is broken and that relationship would be a complete fail in the end. Emmett and Bay were also a mess one or the other was always messing up. I honestly think both of the girls have dated and hooked up sexually way to much lol. But that could be just me, maybe the average teenage girl these days has several sexual partners before their 20’s. So far Bays characters dating life has been a rinse and repeat kind of thing. Never a new one just grab one out of the recycling bin lol. I get this is a drama and broken love all part of it. But when will someone be happy when it comes to the children.

March 20, 2015 @ 3:34 pm
I am in also in shock that the show is on hold. It just got going, and I have been addicted to it like no other! I check it on Amazon every week since we don’t have a TV. I have been the biggest Bay and Emmett fan, but I agree that it is time for them to move on for a while separately from each other. I agree that Bay should dedicate herself to her art with full gusto, try again for art school, and meet someone more mature that supports her to blossom into her full self. I am not sure that I like Daphne and Mingo together, I keep hoping things swing the other way and she ends up with the interpreter. I think that Toby is in similar boat to Bay, he needs to find his passion, something to focus his energy on. All of his girlfriends have had their passions and interests and that has been what has separated them. When he finds his direction, he will find his person.
christine
April 17, 2015 @ 5:46 am
I have a feeling that her and the interpreter will eventually get together whether its a fling or a committed thing but i also know that lots will be hurt over it. her new friend who is with him, and possibly even mingo. I see it happening. I like both mingo and the other guy but i dont want her to get in any bad position with her friends so I vote mingo. he’s a little rough around the edges but seems sweet enough. and totally agree with you about emmett. but i do hope it ends up being bay, i mean she has been with him through all the photography and the filming start of his journey. skye i feel would only last a year or year and a half before it fizzles out. she may even get back with HER ex by some random chance he moves to see her. its possible. we really dont know that much about skye past that she is into film and likes emmett. we know nothing much about her ex and it was just a distance issue.

March 19, 2015 @ 1:53 am
first of all, Toby needs to get rid of that nasty hair-don’t God it’s awful! Lily is a snob I would like to see Tobys wife come back. Daphne is proabaly pregnant since the condom incident? And Bay should go back with Ty because is kind of a jerk.His double standards are a bit much. I like Mary Beth But I think Daphne and Travis maybe??? I dont care for the man-slut at the dorm

March 19, 2015 @ 1:43 am
I’m seriously upset about this “stopping the show” thing. I was waiting for the next episode so eagerly, and now I have to wait even longer.. I loved that Emmett and Bay finally broke up. Honestly, I feel Emmet IS actually growing up because ending things with Bay had to be done. The relationship between those two was destroying both of them, keeping them from working their lives how they would’ve want. Also, I really want Daphne and Mingo getting together, they’re so cute, cause finally Daphne is not the one hovering over the guy, and he helped her realize that she truly wants to be a doctor. About Regina and Erick, I need to know what is going on with the boy’s mom. Well, what I mean is that I want the next episode NOW. It’s just not fair that it wasn’t even announced that it would come to a halt. So frustrating that I was waiting to watch the episode today, and there’s NO episode. Please bring it back soon :(
christine
April 17, 2015 @ 5:31 am
I know right, I think its a bit irresponsible for them to just halt it without saying! It’s a tv show that many watch every week until the official season finale. To randomly stop and not say that is what is happening is bad. I mean if you look up an episode list of the season there is still two more episodes that were clearly already made or the season wouldn’t have started. so whats the holdup? Where’s the reasoning? The notice? It’s lazy and sloppy.

March 19, 2015 @ 12:57 am
Bay and Ty getting back together would be nice but really I would be happy to see Bay with any one but Emmet. I never liked his character. I also really never liked Lily either so I would be happy to see Toby move on from her and also do a little growing up of his own. Daphne and the dorm guy obviously need to get together for real. And I hope Travis and Mary Kate don’t get back together, she always struck me as a little self righteous.

me too! I’m re watching on netflix. Forgot how much I liked wilke. Expected him to come back after high school to go to ukmc. Maybe he will! And I love Emmett. They made bay and him out to be destined, even even time they have the “what if” episodes they always end up crossing paths and getting together…. so to me they have to be meant for each other.

I hated them together.lol. I hated how she was into what toby was into and then suddenly she wasnt and was trying to get him to change. and i just really didnt like her at all. they rushed into that relationship far to quickly. I think he loved her, but it would have never lasted even if they could manage it. he would probably grow to hate her. and i could be remembering wrong, but thats just my vague memory of her. I like the english teacher better but i’m not sure she will stick around..I see me in her a bit in her current situation, and i dont see it ending well.lol. i hope toby finds someone! and i love bay and emmett, I hope they work it out but at the same time I think he doesnt deserve her and they shouldnt. which makes me sad, but agggg. mixed feelings..lol

I was anxious to see the show last night, I had no idea that it wasn’t going to be aired. I really love this show it’s one of my favorites. Honestly I think that Ty should be brought back to the show him &’ Bay made a really good couple. I would also like to see Bay doing more of what she loves &’ that’s art. Please don’t leave us viewers to wait forever this show is truly a great show which I look forward to watching every week, I can’t get enough of it.

April 2, 2015 @ 7:48 pm
I couldn’t agree more…I’d love love LOOOVE for Ty to come back to the show. I loved Bay and Ty together..they were so adorable and there’s just so much more potential for their relationship that we didn’t get to see. Their story is unfinished…I know Bay needs to move on and be by herself for a bit, but ultimately I’d like her to be with Ty. That would just be PERFECT!!
Also really upset that the “Spring Finale” suddenly turned into a Season Finale or something? I can’t wait for the show to come back!

I don’t want Bay and Emmett together. I thinks he’s annoying. He should just be her high school fling and that’s it.

Now he needs to go.
