Jensen may be best known as the seamstress Christina McKinney on Ugly Betty (also, Betty’s best friend at Mode), but since leaving the show at the end of season 3 (at least as a regular character), Jensen has been working on the new Jenna Elfman sitcom Accidentally On Purpose.

Jensen plays Elman’s successful sidekick Olivia on Accidentally, and they are not writing Ashley’s real-life pregnancy into the script.

Recently, Ashley spoke to EW’s Watch With Kristin, and was very open to the possibility of a return to Ugly Betty.  "There has been talk of it.  I didn’t die in it. I wasn’t run over by a tractor, and I didn’t fall down an elevator shaft.”

She said, "It’s very feasible that she [Christina] could come back at some point. Henry came back at the end of season three, so maybe at the end of season four. I’d love to do it. I’d love to come back again. I’d be great. It’s all worked out rather well because I simply couldn’t be flying back to New York at the moment, what with my condition [being pregnant]."

Ashley even has her own idea about how Christina returns:  "I would like to see her come back hugely successful, and she gives Wilhelmina a run for her money. Maybe she’s got her own design line, or something, and Wilhelmina needs her design line, so Wilhelmina has to bow down, sort of beg Christina. That’s feasible isn’t it?"

I like it. 

Happy Birthday, Ashley!

According to Access Hollywood, a representative of the show has told them that the reports are “not true”. (Hat tip: miss waiching liu) Of course, one of the reports came from this site.

So which is true? Is Jensen leaving Ugly Betty, or is she staying? I think it’s fair to say that no one outside of the actual players knows the truth. I have no reason to believe that EOnline’s Kristin Dos Santos (my original source for the news) was actually told what she reported about Jensen. I also have no reason to believe this rep for Ugly Betty is lying.

I have a pretty good guess as to what’s really going on. I’ve seen this before, being a big sports fan. I’d say that the media is being played as a negotiation ploy. Remember when EW’s Ausiello said that an Ugly Betty star was asking for more money because of the move to NY, and that we’d be surprised when we found out who it was?

I’m beginning to believe it was (and is) Jensen. If so, it would appear that one side is playing hardball by leaking not-yet-true info to the press.

Anyway, if what this rep says is true, this is good news indeed. Many, many of us would greatly miss Jensen’s Scottish quips and warm smile.

Is Ashley leaving or not? We’ll just have to wait and see.

From the beautiful, classy, extra-long strapless dress, to the blingage to the perfect makeup – Jensen was nothing less than the classiest lady on the red carpet.

Hopefully, one day, she’ll win for her work with Ugly Betty, which I think is underrated (Vanessa Williams and Becki Newton get more screen time, so they are usually first in line for Supporting Actress nominations).

I love this pic with her husband, Terence Beesley:
