On October 20th, Ugly Betty star Becki Newton attended the 2008 Whitney Museum of American Art Gala in New York City. She wore a purple Versace frock and was joined by quite an array of actors, including Patrick Dempsey, Jane Krakowski and singer Mariah Carey…just to name a few.

Becki had to make a mad dash to the event straight from the Ugly Betty set. USA Today caught up with the star and said she was very tight-lipped about any plot developments on the show. She spilled a little news: “In the next few episodes we can see Betty’s new apartment life gets invaded by an unwelcomed visitor. It’s not a new person. That’s all I can give you. No more. Done!” Yeah, I’d say that’s pretty tight-lipped!

As you all know, Lindsay Lohan will reprise her role as Kimmie in this week’s episode 3.05 “Granny Pants”. When asked about Lindsay’s return, she said, “She comes back into Betty’s life and may or may not come into Mode and make some friends and make some enemies. We had a really good time working with her.”

On Thursday, October 23nd, another new episode of Ugly Betty airs and it looks like Betty may be able to get her revenge on an old high school bully. I love the title of this one. It’s episode 3.05 “Granny Pants”. Lindsay Lohan guest stars and plays the mean girl from back in the day. Now she’s bringing the drama back into Betty’s world by snagging a job at Mode. Will Betty use this opportunity to get her revenge?

Unfortunately, I haven’t see any sneak peeks of Ugly Betty episode 3.05. I have no idea why though!! I will continue to keep an eye out for any.

TV Guide snagged an exclusive interview with Ugly Betty’s Eric Mabius. He talks about Daniel being a father, his evolving relationship with Betty and filming in New York. It’s a great interview! Check it out below and tell me what you think about the things he said.

Post from: Ugly Betty News

Betty/Gio:

Things started out a little rough for Gio and Betty at the beginning of this episode. Betty hangs up the phone, looks up and there’s Gio. She runs over to give him a hug and he hands her a flyer, saying that she is banned. Betty ask why she’s banned and Gio tells her it’s because when he invited her to Rome, she said she’d rather be a lone and then spit on him.

Gio tells Betty about his trip, and how he went to the most romantic city in the world, alone. The trip ended up being a bit of a success for him because he met a man who makes exquisite gourmet cheese, which is perfect or Gio’s sandwiches and are sure to make them famous. Unfortunately his cheese was taken away from him at customs.

Gio then tells Betty that he hates her, he does not think that she is a nice person and he wants her banned from his life. Ouch! When Betty mentions the cheese to Daniel, he says he has connections with a guy who can get this cheese and Betty begs him to get her some, so she can give it to Gio and hopefully smooth things over.

Betty gets the cheese and heads over to Gio’s apartment. He takes the cheese from her and then tries to leave. Betty takes the cheese back and insist that that they talk. She tells him how she has changed and that hurts Gio because he said that she just told him breaking up with him made her life better.

Betty gets a call from Daniel about DJ and that she has to get him out of there before his grandparents find him. Betty asked Gio if he has his van and before he can say no, Betty and DJ are in his van driving away. Now the question is, where to take DJ. Betty recommends the ballet on the phone to Daniel and both Daniel and Gio say no. Daniel ask Betty to hand the phone to Gio and they decide on Coney Island.

Gio helps find DJ, who had run away under a pier (more details on that in a bit). Betty and Gio have a bonding moment under the pier. Later, Betty gives Gio the cheese and he tells her that spending the day with her wasn’t all that bad. Betty apologizes for being stuck in “Betty Suarez Land”. Gio actually says that there might be a chance for them to be friends.

Daniel/DJ:

Danile gets a call from his lawyer who tells him DJ’s parents have found out that Daniel is not really his dad. A judge has awarded the grandparents custody and his lawyer tells him that if the grandparents take DJ back to France, he will probably never see him again.

Daniel calls Betty and ask if she can pick up DJ from school and take him for the day while he meets with DJ’s grandparents. The grandparents tell Daniel that DJ is all they have. Daniel says he doesn’t know where DJ is and then Amanda walks in and says he’s at Betty’s apartment.

Betty and Gio take Danile to Coney Island to hide him from his grandparents. DJ goes off to get some food and Daniel is talking to Gio and Betty and he tells them DJ is not his son. As he is saying that, DJ is standing right behind him and when he hears that, he runs off.

Gio helps to find DJ under a pier. Daniel apologizes to Daniel and says that he wishes he was his father and that he still loves him. DJ tells Daniel that he wants him to fight for him, but Daniel realizes that he doesn’t have a chance. He says that he can be DJ’s really cool American uncle. DJ is crying, but they hug and it seems the relationship is repaired.

Daniel/Alexis/ Wilhelmina:

Daniel visits Alexis in prison and tells her that he thinks their mother can get her out soon. Alexis tells Daniel that she is actually DJ’s father and then Daniel attacks her.

Wilhelmina and Marc visit Alexis in jail and Wilhelmina tells her that she can get the charges reduced if she will agree to give up her share of the company. What does Alexis say? “I would rather go to prison”. Wilhelmina takes things into her own hands and talks to Claire. Claire agrees to give her half of her shares to Wilhelmina, which means her and Daniel can split the company 50/50. Wilhelmina says Daniel won’t agree and Claire assures her that Daniel loves his sister and he will do what he has to for her. Later, Wilhelmina starts plotting on how to get the rest of the company.

Claire and Daniel meet Alexis where she is boarding a plane. She is freed from prison and tells them that she is going to France for awhile. Daniel encourages her to get to know her son. She promises that she’ll be back. At the end, Daniel runs over and gives her a big hug.

Hilda/Tony:

Hilda calls Betty to see if her and Tony can use her apartment again. Betty says yes. Tony and Hilda have a picnic at Betty’s apartment and Hilda tells him she doesn’t think she can continue to see a married man. He promises Hilda that he will tell his wife. Tony and Hilda don’t know that his wife followed him to the apartment. She sees the name on the door “Betty Suarez”.

Tony’s wife makes a visit to Hilda’s beauty salon and ask Hilda to please tell her sister to stop seeing her husband. She says that things have been cold for awhile but that she still loves him and wants to try to work things out. Ton’y wife calls Betty a slut because she said that when she knocked on the door, some French guy answered. Hilda ask her to please not talk about her sister like that. Hilda is obviously dying inside with guilt.

When Tony comes to pick up Hilda for their date, she tells him that his wife came to the salon and that she still loves him. Tony said that he talked to her today and told her that things were over. He says that things were over with them before he even met Hilda. She tells him that she can not be responsible for ending a marriage. Tony leaves hurt and angry. The whole family comforts Hilda as best as they can.

That’s a wrap! Share your thoughs below.
