Does anyone think Daphne and Emmett's friendship will be explored more in Season 5? Or will it just be left to wither in the wind?
I do feel that sometimes the characters on Switched at Birth forgive too easily, though. It's as if no one ever holds a grudge. In real life, people do.
Melody goes from despising Bay to loving her. Emmett and Toby forgave Daphne SO EASILY for her trespasses against Bay. The only real grudge that has ever been explored was Daphne's grudge towards Angelo. Everyone else forgives in one or two episodes.
I wish more could be explored between them.

I used to have a best male friend. We've spent all the time together, he helped me with boy problems, I helped him with girls, he would stay over at my place. I really felt like it's going to be forever, I saw him at my wedding, our kids playing together. And then, during first year at uni he shut it down. I wouldn't see him at all and when I finally did, he said a lot of hurtful things, which were untrue. It's been over 10 years since then and if he'd apologised, I'd take him back as a friend in a second.
Maybe writers think similarly? With Daphne and Angelo it was a lifetime of grudge and being hurt, no wonder they took the time to explore her pain. And then for Daphne and Emmett it was a lifetime of friendship, something you won't get rid of so easily. Toby's reason might have been blood relation? And as for Melody, she suffered from a bad case of mama-bear syndrom and saw Bay as somebody who would lead her son onto a wrong path. It was when she saw how much Bay cares for Emmett that she warmed up to her, but it did take a while for her to love her.
