If you haven't see Switched At Birth yet you should start now. Switched at Birth is now into their third season and with it being more than halfway done when big drama happens. One of the characters dies from a car accident. Not a lot of people liked him in the beginning but when Bay found her biological dad Angelo Sorrento, Bay's father John Kennish didn't like him and was very angry when he met her. Angelo showed up to Bay's school which at the time was Buckner and she now goes to Carlton the school for the deaf. She was showcasing her art work when Angelo showed up. Bay tried so hard to get to know Angelo. Also Daphne Bay's father biological daughter didn't like him either. After a few years everyone got to know him. Here is why you should start watching the show if you haven't already, in season 3 episode 67 Angelo dies from swerving off the road and hitting a tree. The night before he was arguing with Regina (his wife) about having a gun. He then leaves angry. Everyone knows you don't get into a car when you are mad. He actually looked like he was speeding. It was an emotional episode. Everyone was thinking that he was gonna come out alive but with the second hemorrhage that he had he showed signs of no blood in his brain. At first he had blood in his brain but then he didn't.
Here is an interview with Gilles Marini (Angelo Sorrento):
When did you find out that Angelo would die?
Two weeks prior, I had a meeting with the executive [producer
Lizzy Weiss].
We all talked about doing something pretty drastic. I wanted to have
something meatier and strong for my character. We thought it would
eventually help the show bring new storylines and a lot of drama. As
soon as Angelo Sorrento passes, a lot of things are going to happen that
are going to change everything. After three seasons, this is what the
show needs, and I am extremely happy that it's my character that goes
down this road. It was something for me, as an actor, that I needed, and
I'm happy that it happened.
Were you satisfied with how Angelo died?
Yes, for so many different reasons and levels. For example, the way
Angelo passed is similar to the way my brother-in-law passed when he was
29 years old. For me, it was the family connection that I lived with,
so it was important for me to portray that. And more important than
everything else, the fact that the family decided to donate his organs.
What was a bit weird was when I told my mom about it: "I'm excited to be
a part of something so intense. My character is dying on the show." My
mom refused to watch it because it was too real for her.
Do you think there was more story to mine with Angelo? Could he have lived a little longer?
I think the show is on its 60th episode, or something like that.
[Monday's episode is the 67th episode.] It is time. [On] shows like
Game of Thrones, main characters die after episode nine. This is what makes the show live a long time. I was excited to put this on my résumé.
How do you think Angelo's death will impact the other characters and resonate through the rest of the series?
When I lost my dad I was kind of the same age that the girls [Bay and
Daphne] are on the show. It's very simple. You either stand up and you
become the man or the woman you will be the rest of your life, or you
derail and you go toward things that you should maybe not go toward.
Who's going to be the one who says, "I forgive you," to what Regina did
prior [to Angelo's death]. How Daphne's going to react to the loss of
the father she wanted to have. All those things are going to come down
the pipe. The show needed to have something dramatic and I'm so happy it
happens to my character, because I don't see anybody else going down
that road and having that kind of impact. We needed to tie up something
that's meaningful enough that makes the show interesting. You needed to
have that happen.
At the end of the episode, there was a lot of guilt with the
other characters following Angelo's death. Who has the most trouble
dealing with that guilt?
I think Regina will have a difficult time and will have to give quite
an explanation, and Daphne. Keep in mind, she's the one who grew up
without a dad and she finally had one. Every season there's one episode
that makes a difference and makes the show what it is, and I think this
is that episode. And everybody will see why.
Will there be a chance for you to return in flashbacks?
Yes, absolutely. A lot of people got thrown off last week because
Constance Marie, queen of social media, posted pictures of me on set
with a 19-year-old child that no one is aware of, so people thought,
"Angelo is not dead!" I thought it was kind of clever and funny but I
think yes, I might come back once or twice in flashbacks or a "what if"
episode. I told Lizzy, "Anytime I'm free, I'm yours!"
What will you miss most about your character?
The complexities of being a dad. I'm a very hands-on dad and I love
my kids. This guy was very different from who I am. He was trying to do
everything he could to be a dad but he was very awkward about it until
the last episodes there when he figured things out. I really enjoyed
that complexity.
