Here is the full recap for Ugly Betty episode 3.24, The Fall Issue.   It was my favorite episode of season 3.  OK, maybe it was tied with 3.15, There’s No Place Like Mode.
Of course, I’ve already told you I loved the episode.  I loved the silliness of the Antonio Sabato scenes.   I loved Penny Meadows (she was kind of like an in-house Heinrich).  I even loved Matt in this episode.  He was rightfully hurt, and I like how he gave Betty every chance to come clean.  I loved drunk Amanda.
I still wish they had found another way to resolve …read more

Something tells me that tonight’s 2-hour season finale of Ugly Betty is going to be a rough one for Daniel Meade. 
We’ve heard for months that someone on the show is going to die, and all indications have been that it’s going to be the brand new Mrs. Meade, Molly.  Not only that, but he is going to appear on “The View” for what should be a lighthearted interview, but apparently Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck turn it into Frost vs Nixon.
Eric Mabius is very, very good when his character Daniel is suddenly in an uncomfortable situation, so I …read more

Ugly Betty’s season-finale love affair with America’s national pastime, at least as far a season finales go, continues.  Lookie what’s hidden away in a small blurb in the NY Mets’ beat column in the New York Daily News today:
UGLY CITI: ABC’s "Ugly Betty" will be filming scenes for its season finale during Friday night’s game [tonight] at Citi Field. Characters Betty & Daniel are among those scheduled to be filming.
So, I guess we know, at least partially, what the “Curveball” episode title is all about.  I’m sure the other allusions will have to do with unexpected changes in our …read more

Ugly Betty’s Becki Newton recently spoke with the Boston Herald about the show, her characeter Amanda, and moving back to New York.
About Amanda’s search for her father, Newton says, “From birth, Amanda has been trying to find herself. There’s resolve in the search with who her father is and how she sees herself. She’s made peace.”
I’m glad, because I always thought the story line was a little forced. And I say this as a huge fan of “Gene Simmons is my Daddy”.
Becki addresses the show’s return to its roots. “The heart was always there, but I do love …read more
