    Storyline

    Edit
    Two teen girls discover that they were accidentally switched at birth. Bay Kennish grew up in a wealthy family with two parents and a brother, while Daphne Vasquez, who lost her hearing as a child after a bout with meningitis, grew up with a single mother in a poor neighborhood. Things come to a dramatic head when the families meet and struggle to learn how to live together for the girls' sakes. —Anonymous

    • Trivia
      Episode titles are named after art pieces.
    • Goofs
      In the pilot, Katheryn said Toby was barely 2 when she got pregnant with Bay (actually Daphne), and she wouldn't have had time to have an affair. This means Toby would have been nearly 3 when Bay and Daphne were born, yet he was only a year ahead of them in school.

    Beautifully Acted and Written
    I rarely begin to follow a television show while it is in its first season for fear that it will be canceled. Yet this one drew me in and I cannot get enough of it. The idea of being switched at birth is so bizarre, and the dynamics of both families are so real. The raw emotion and feelings portrayed by these characters makes me feel sorry for and sometimes resent them all at the same time. The drama always keeps me eager to see what will happen on the next episode. The writers may have struck gold with this one.

    Katie(Daphne)and Vanessa(Bay) play two very different girls that are connected by this event that happened to them so many years ago. Even though they have nothing in common, they have more in common than they realize. Constance(Regina)is stubborn yet likable and plays it beautifully, as do the two actors who play the other set of parents. Each character has a way of making you care about them, a way of making you root for them to make the right decision. Great job ABC Family, keep up the good work and I'll be coming back for more every Monday night.
