And so there becomes that craving to learn about him and her family. So we do play out, in an episode coming up, a yearning to get to know more members of her family that would tell her about parts of AngeloвЂ™s life that she can never ask about - his childhood, his adolescence, his twenties, even before Regina. Angelo represents - just like adopted kids - all the questions you have about your biological ancestors. She has a dad that sheвЂ™s every close to, John. Whereas for Daphne, it was all the time she lost being angry at him and wishing she could do it over again and not be as angry, for Bay, what weвЂ™re playing is the blood ties. TVLINE | And this was BayвЂ™s biological father, so how is she dealing with it going forward? And then, as Daphne continues to punish her and make worse and worse decisions, it come to a head, which youвЂ™ll see later in the season. At first, she decides to take the hits and wait it out as a mother might do. TVLINE | What about Regina? Is she going toВ feel the blame Daphne lays on her? Or is she going to realize Daphne is just in a lot of pain?Д«oth.

ItвЂ™s a risk that even calls back the switch - because sheвЂ™s so angry at Regina, and it reminds of her how she felt when she found out that Regina knew all those years and never told her. But sheвЂ™s a teenager responding to a tragedy and she acts out. She does some things that fans may not like and behaves in ways that will be very shocking. Everything about the rest of the season is DaphneвЂ™s response to losing this surrogate dadвЂ¦ Daphne becomes a very different Daphne for the rest of the season. But who would you say takes it the hardest?Дaphne. TVLINE | This is obviously an event that affects many members of the family. That was very important to me as a daughter, who has experienced both of those moments with my father, to talk about how sad it is that these characters will never have those moments with one of their dads. The fantasy flash-forwards were so sad, and I saw it so many times in the editing room, and every time I teared up at the wedding day and the birth of BayвЂ™s fantasy twin because those are very iconic father-daughter moments. I honesty think his work tonight is the best on our show. He was excited for the journey because I explained to him he wasnвЂ™t just going to be sitting in a bed, that we were going to be doing flash forwards and flashbacks. I was so nervous to talk to him, and he was so gracious about it. TVLINE | How did Gilles take the news? His storyline seemed to be beefing up finally.ДЄ champ. RELATED Switched at Birth Scoop: TankвЂ™s Surprise Arc, College Plans and More It definitely has meaning for everyone in a very deep way. But everyone will see that itвЂ™s not arbitrary just to kill someone. I feel itвЂ™s risks like that that keepВ the show surprising and interesting. But every time IвЂ™ve been scared of doing something - like the all ASL episode, the dance episode and now this episode - it always paid off.

I shied away for the longest time for all the obvious reasons - mostly losing Gilles, who I love and the fans love, and itвЂ™s obviously such a permanent decision. We went down a lot of paths and then we came across Angelo, and it was definitely a scary thought. Then we started talking about, вЂњwell, would it be more meaningful and interesting and complex to have it be someone closer?вЂќ We actually started talking about, do we want it to be like that experience, someone random in the school, just so it could just be about death and what it feels like for the first time when youвЂ™re a teenager. When youвЂ™re a teenager and you feel death for the first time and someone you know is taken away suddenlyвЂ¦ Everyone started talking about that moment. We had a teacher die and it was such a seminal moment for me. I went to an all-girls high school, and we actually never had a student die because I think girls are less likely to die in drunk driving accidents. It started off by talking about iconic moments in all of our lives in high school. TVLINE | How did you come to the decision to kill off Angelo? What was the thinking in the writersвЂ™ room? Really for her, that is the spine of the season, the father-daughter relationship. YouвЂ™ll see after he passes away, she has a huge turn, and the rest of the season is in direct relation to how she feels about the fact that she had so little time with him when things were good. We really wanted them to mend that before he was taken away. ItвЂ™s the toughest relationship and one of the most defining relationships of life, and it damaged her a lot that he left her. Was that so you could break our hearts even more?

TVLINE | Last time we spoke, you said it was really important to repair the relationship between Daphne and Angelo this season.
