This one highlights all three of the Ugly Betty ’ships’:

• Benry (some people call it Hetty): Betty and Henry
• Detty: Betty and Daniel (their relationship is strictly platonic right now)
• Getty: Betty and Gio.

The video uses the song by Natasha Bedingfield, “I Wanna Have Your Babies”, which is hilarious, IMHO.  The video is edited in a way that shows romantic possibilities with all three men (although Henry had a head start on the other two).

Betty will be going in a new direction next year, but looking back, it was fun while it lasted!

Placing the picture of Gio and Betty in the park into the picture frame Betty was packing was a nice touch, and couldn’t have been easy to do.  And, of course, since my love heyday was the 80’s, I love the choice of song, Survivor’s “Is This Love”.

Don’t worry Henry fans, you won’t be left out!  There have been some wonderful Benry fan videos, and I’ll share one of my favorites soon.

Well, Kristin from EOnline answers one of my Ugly Betty season finale questions:

Anna in Salt Lake City: I need some Ugly Betty scoop. I am personally a huge fan of a Betty-Gio hookup. Any hints as to when or if that is going to happen? I can tell you that Ugly Betty is taking the Henry-Betty-Gio triangle down to the wire. One of the boys proposes in the finale, and the other one invites her to travel with him. In true TV fashion, at the end of the episode, we have no idea whom she leaves with, and we’ll have to wait until next season to find out. Also, big stuff coming for Daniel in the UB finale. He’ll lose something very important to him, and in a cosmic, karmic exchange, rediscover a part of his life he never knew he had.

So, I guess this means we get the whole summer to discuss the love triangle. Gee, thanks, Silvio Horta.

Seriously, the love triangle between Betty – Henry – Gio is what generates the most heat in Ugly Betty discussion, so I’m not going to complain. It’s all in good fun.

The part with Daniel is what intrigues me. In the latest promo, it’s obvious that Alexis gives Wilhelmina Daniel’s job. I wasn’t expecting that; at the end of episode 2.17, everything at Mode was back to “normal”: Wilhelmina in her old job, Daniel as Editor in Chief. I wasn’t expecting this to happen so soon, but I guess it’s another product of the strike-shortened season.

He’ll [Daniel will] lose something very important to him, and in a cosmic, karmic exchange, rediscover a part of his life he never knew he had.

So, my hope that the boy is Alexis’ will turn out not to be. But, it’ll be interesting to see what the producers do with this next season. Will Daniel grow up a little? I guess we’ll have to tune in and see.

Well, that didn’t take long. My man Michael Ausiello at TV Guide has the scoop on the 13-year old versions of Ugly Betty cast members I previously told you about.

The way I saw it, there were only two scenarios that could have come out of this casting. One of the characters could have been having a flashback, or it could be a “vision”. By vision, I mean like when Daniel saw 12-year old Betty in episode 2.11, Zero Worship. These moments are many times very touching. They evoke “Heart”, as Slvio Horta puts it.

Anyway, Ausiello gives us the spoiler details, and I pass them to you, after the jump!

Question: I need new Ugly Betty scoop! Throw the puppy a bone, please? — Megan
Ausiello: OK, but you’ll probably want to sit down for this: In a shocking move that will prove less so once I place it in the proper context, producers have decided to recast the roles of Betty, Amanda, Daniel and Gio. But there’s a twist (i.e., the proper context I spoke of earlier). In an upcoming episode, Betty observes younger versions of some of the people in her life while she’s chaperoning a junior-high dance.

Ahhh, now it makes sense. I can’t WAIT to see little Gio. I have a feeling he’s going to be using his “Phil Roth” moves. So junior high.

This is probably also where Hilda will meet her new love interest, but maybe not. I figure it will come in a parent-teacher meeting that has been called because Justin is failing gym. Been there, done that. )
