Ugly Betty Stars Talk About Season 2 (Some Spoilers!)

So, as far as Ugly Betty spoilers go, we’ve got some things straight from the horse’s mouth.  As told in the San Jose Mercury News (via AP):  

Eric Mabius (Betty’s boss Daniel Meade) revealed that season-two guest stars will include Victoria Beckham, in an episode still to be filmed, and Freddy Rodriguez (”Six Feet Under”). 

Ortiz said Hilda would be dating and looking for a job. “And you know Hilda’s track record with jobs!” she noted, laughing.

Rebecca Romijn was tightest-lipped, simply acknowledging she was still employed. When last we saw her character Alexis, she and Mabius’ Daniel were unconscious in a smoldering crashed car. “I’m at least alive!” the newlywed (to Jerry O’Connell ) said, smiling.

And what of the ill-fated love birds Betty and Henry? In one of the final scenes, he was headed to Arizona, along with his evil, possibly pregnant, girlfriend Charlie. “Well, there is a pretty good chance that Henry comes back,” revealed Christopher Gorham, his portrayer.

“I can’t tell you how he comes back. I can tell you that you cannot miss the first five minutes of the first episode of season two. It’s one of the funniest scenes that we have shot to date. It’s a Betty, Henry, Charlie scene. It’s subtitled. It’s really incredible.”

OK, so the Posh Spice thing has been out there already – it’s good to get confirmation from Mabius in a print interview.  Hilda’s dating?  Of course, Santos is dead!  He’s on another network now!  I’ve been saying this all along.  Sad, too – I liked him.

Alexis lives – no big surprise there.  No way could ABC get rid of the most intriguing character on the show!

The Betty, Henry and Charlie scene is, say it again, subtitled?????  Let’s just say THAT’S piqued my interest.

 There are also some great interview tidbits about Season 1, and sudden stardom, and being an out-of the-gate hit.  Take a look.
