Switched At Birth

Catching up a bit on demand. The daughter dating stuff is tiresome, but on the whole, the ensemble cast provides a good effort with the diverse story lines interesting. The daughter of the dad's competition was in Mayor Cupcake with the mom and also on Disney -- another example of a star going from G/PG to PG-13 fare (here in a hot tub).  Also, is the stream of consciousness/Gilmore level talking thing a normal teen girl thing?  Guess/bit much at times.
