Switched at Birth Q&A: Katie Leclerc and Vanessa Marano

Hey, Switched at Birth fans! It's just two week until the big winter premiere, and we can hardly wait! In the meantime, click through this Q&A photo gallery with Katie Leclerc and Vanessa Marano to learn more about their work, their characters and what's to come this winter season!

Question: What do both of you like best about your character?

Vanessa Marano: What I like most about Bay is that people don’t always love her. She’s kind of difficult. She’s a little bit socially awkward almost. She says what’s on her mind without really thinking about it. She has a sense of humor that a lot of people don’t get and she really just genuinely wants to be loved and accepted by people but she has a really hard time with it.

Katie Leclerc: My favorite thing about Daphne is that she’s never a victim. She is a normal high school girl, who struggles with boys, and she gets good grades and she plays basketball, and she has all these day-to-day activities that anyone can relate to. No matter who you are, you can relate to it; the struggles, the ups and downs. And oh, by the way, she happens to also be deaf. It’s almost secondary to the rest of her life.

Catch the Switched at Birth winter premiere Tuesday, January 3 at 8/7c!
