The rumored divorce between John and Kathryn is apparently much better than the other set of rumors swirling around as early as December last year.
Apparently, some rumors were saying that the reason that Bay and Daphne would be returning home to Kansas is because John would be passing away.
It could be recalled that during Season 4, John was already suffering from a minor heart problem, making fans worry that his character would be killed off. John survived the heart problem only to be faced with another.
The same set of rumors even went on to expand that because of the financial problems of the family, it would be too stressful for John that it would affect his health and his heart problems will deteriorate.
But with the confirmation of Lizzy Weiss that the reason why Bay and Daphne would be returning to Kansas is because of the struggling relationship of John and Kathryn, it is unlikely that John would be dying in Season 5 of “Switched at Birth.”
Season 5 will also dwell on the aftermath of the breakup of Bay and Emmett during the previous season. Weiss said that with some distance between them, Emmett now realizes how Bay felt about him not standing by her.
