Vanessa Williams Talks About Ugly Betty Season 4
October 14, 2009 by Tom
Here is an AP interview with Vanessa Williams about the upcoming season of Ugly Betty (premiering this Friday, October 16).
First off, there are some scenes from the new season interspersed with the interview.
Vanessa talks about the physical changes in Betty, and gives some specifics (I like the phrase “her silhouette is changing”). She says the socks are going to go (I guess that will be later this season) and that we’ll see Betty’s legs for the first time.
She hints about “a couple of relationships from her past” – these are Connor and Nico, I’m guessing. She says that Grant Bowler emailed her saying he’s looking forward to coming back (with all the bedroom scenes with Williams, that’s a no-brainer 
).
They then go into Wilhelmina’s struggle to keep her job at Mode, and show a pretty funny scene where she insults Claire and asks her and Cal Hartley do go ahead and fire her (which ends in a surprise).
The wait is almost over – Friday is almost here! From the looks of everything, this is going to be a great beginning to season four!
Here is a Q&A from tvguide.com:
—————————
What happened to Cliff? I liked him and Marc together on Ugly Betty. — Max
MICKEY: “Cliff” (David Blue) has been cast as Stargate: Universe’s tech whiz, and sources tell me he won’t be returning to Betty’s universe any time soon. Marc (Michael Urie), meanwhile, will remain single for now, but he’ll also mingle on the show’s upcoming Bahamas episode, during which he’ll hook up with a hottie played by newcomer Matt Newton, brother to Becki, aka Amanda, aka Michael/Marc’s bestie.
—————————
This makes me very happy because Matt Newton has been an online friend of mine for almost ten years now and I was hoping that Becki would be able to get him on “Ugly Betty”.
You can see pictures of Becki Newton’s brother Matt at my “Strangers With Candy” website. This is the page for his episode:

Matt is the guy in the swimming pool, and in other pictures he is wearing a denim jacket.
OMG! Bety is definetly changing. I love that. I am so happy that Betty is losing the socks. Also, Vanessa is going to stay at MODE. More drama
OMG! Willie is soooooooo getting to have SLATER magazine and I expect Nico is pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought that in the episode that Christina left, Wilhelmina was allowed to keep her job position and stake in the company in exchange for Cal Hartley buying in? So how could they fire her…? Or am I missing something?
John,
In the season finale Wilhelina threatened to tell everyone about Claire’s pregnancy. Cal found out about this and said that he was going to have to reconsider Wilhelmina’s position at Meade.
