Based on these set photos of America Ferrera and Daniel Eric Gold filming scenes for Ugly Betty, I think it’s safe to say that in some upcoming episode of the show, Betty and Matt will be at the very least, friendly.

This looks like a date to me, and one that’s going well.  But, this could just be a friendly walk, such as we’ve seen Betty take with Daniel many times.
They seem to be walking around somewhere Betty knows, because she’s pointing out something to Matt.

I LOVE these red coats that Betty has been wearing, it is a very …read more

Here are some more pics (mostly of America Ferrera) on location with Ugly Betty in Central Park.

No braces here, but, I’d swear in some of the photos I’ve seen, Betty still has them.
Interestingly, Betty is wearing classic post earrings, and the fact that I’ve noticed signifies a change from seasons 1-3.  Betty usually wore her hair straight down over her ears, and you could rarely see her earrings.  In fact, that is still the case when Ferrera is fully in costume:

And, here we see the offending yellow socks.  Something else that’s interesting, in some of the photos, …read more

So, these new Ugly Betty set pics from Central Park come out, and I can’t decide what’s bigger news: the fact that they show Betty in costume, and she still looks for the most part like “Betty”, or the fact that they show Betty (America Ferrera) and Matt (Daniel Eric Gold) Kissing!

And here we were thinking they were over.
But, not so fast.  This set does have a kiss, but some of the pics look quite contentious between the two.  So, I guess the question is, which comes first?  Is it a fight that ends with a kiss?  Or a …read more

Ausiello has some casting news about Ugly Betty, and it’s big enough to give it top billing in this week’s Ask Ausiello column.
Question: Will Daniel Eric Gold, who plays Betty ex-BF/boss Matt, be returning to Ugly Betty next season? –Janeen Ausiello: Not only is he returning, but sources confirm to me exclusively that he’s been promoted to a full-fledged series regular! But don’t take that to mean Matt and Betty will reunite and live happily ever after. In fact, I hear Betty producers are already cooking up a fresh obstacle for the …read more

A couple of weeks ago, when this flashed on our TV, my family made me rewind the DVR to view it again.  Sure enough, it was Ugly Betty’s Daniel Eric Gold starring in a commercial for McDonald’s dollar menu:

Hey, if you’ll remember, David Blue had a killer Subway commercial.
Gold is really starting to grow on me.  I think where his real comedic talent lies is playing it straight while ridiculous things are happening all around him.  Sort of like Bob Newhart back in the day.  There’s no better environment for that kind of comedy than the world of Mode and …read more

This is absolutely astonishing news: Henry (Chris Gorham) is coming back to Ugly Betty!  Ausiello breaks the news:
Christopher Gorham has closed a deal to reprise his role as Betty’s ex-love Henry, setting the stage for a geektastic showdown with her current beau, Matt (Daniel Eric Gold).
Un-freakin-believable.  There’s more:
Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta confirms to me exclusively that Gorham — who’s currently trying to stay alive on CBS’ Harper’s Island — will reappear in the show’s two-hour season finale on May 21 when Betty runs into Henry and his new girlfriend Chloe (played by Gossip Girl’s Dream Walker) in …read more

One of the many things being discussed about Ugly Betty episode 3.15, There’s No Place Like Mode, is the introduction of the character Matt. The character, played by the tastefully three-named Daniel Eric Gold, will be (at least on a surface level) Betty’s new romantic interest.
Of course, the fact that he’s a “romantic entanglement” at all means that the producers of the show must have changed their minds about Betty concentrating on work and growing up a little. I guess Silvio Horta could say he had this in mind all along, but it’s such a drastic change, I …read more

Welcome to the live blog for Ugly Betty, episode 3.15, There’s No Place Like Mode.  Fashion Week is Back!  Cue the land mines!
Fashion Week brings chaos to the Modies, as Betty copes with simultaneously putting on a show for a bizarre new designer named Heinrich and with an assignment from YETI to partner up with Matt (guest star Daniel Eric Gold), who works at a sports magazine, to learn about each other’s jobs. Meanwhile, Wilhelmina fears she’s lost her edge in the fashion world because she’s been spending too much time with Conner, Daniel tries giving Molly a makeover, and …read more

There IS Ugly Betty news to report, besides the benching. In the Ask Ausiello report mentioned in my previous post, we hear a little more spoiler-ish news about Betty’s new love interest. (Remember that?).
As we’ve reported, his name will be Matt, Betty will meet him at YETI, and he’ll be nerdy-hunky like Henry. Matt will be played by tastefully 3-named Daniel Eric Gold. He will make his first appearance on February 19th. Ausiello says, “Word is the YETI hottie is concealing a major secret, and it’s not that he’s loaded (although he …read more
