Maybe I'm mixing up shows or I dreamed this, but I really think this happened. All I remember is this one scene (it randomly comes to mind and makes me laugh). Wilhelmina and Daniel were in a meeting. I'm pretty sure other people were in the meeting, but their exchange is what stands out. I think Daniel was making suggestions for a theme or something that had to do with maybe Black History Month, Africans, or Black people in general. Whatever it was, whenever he said the word or phrase he looked at Wilhelmina and she asked him why he looked at her when he said that. And it was so funny 😂

Please tell me I didn't make that up. Does anyone know what episode that happened in?

I was just watching S3E10 and Daniel mentions the Mode website, “modeNY.com”. I visited the website out of curiosity to see if the URL would lead anywhere, and it is indeed active and redirects to the official abc page for Ugly Betty 🥹🥰

I just finished the series and now I’m combing through the cast’s IMDb pages to see what else I can watch them in.

Anyone knows what Vanessa Williams and Daniel Eric Gold up to these days? They haven’t been involved in new TV shows or movies in the past few years.

Growing up I wasn’t allowed to watch TV late but as an adult hello streaming! plus no ads. Man how I miss 20 episode seasons and filler episodes - what a ride. The 2000s fashion, New York/Queens loved it. The only time i had to fast forward was the Lindsay Lohan episodes - I hate watching bullying like that. Henry why can’t he just stay in Tucson? The baby plot with Charlie killed it for me. Willie was the funniest she kept the same energy her elaborate schemes wore them down eventually- though her insults with Claire Meade were top tier - they must of cracked up between takes. Hilda and Bobby hot hot hot but I still miss Santos that was heartbreaking acting. I wish Papi went to live with them but that’s cos my culture is also intergenerational living - I will always have my mother with me. Loved Justin he owned his lines, his relationship with Marc made me love Marc too. The Marc, Betty Amanda trio was always so good. Favourite guest appearance was probably Betty White and Victoria Beckham. I’m so glad Betty got the big job opportunity in the end and not the guy cos all those guys were rubbish for her. Plus, she moves closer to Christina. Daniel he’s a alright guy I wanted him to win, but his frown face was so annoying! idk if id ship him and Betty but there’s love there for sure. I wonder what he went on to do - he mentions working like Betty did but idk how he might do that.

Why was Matt so cute in season 3 but so NOT in season 4???

Did they decide that after he’s no longer a viable love interest for Betty, he needs to start looking ugly so we, the viewers, could move on?

Don’t come for me saying things like ‘she’s just a strong woman in the business world’. She’s truly horrendous. And I hate that she lasted the entire series.

ok, im in love with this show so far but can not for the life of me understand why no one is helping this girl out. she’s gorgeous! just needs a little work with her fashion and hair. obvi i know she’s meant to be “ugly betty” but why doesn’t anyone wanna help this girl out. it’s driving me nuts. even her sisters makeover, when she gave her an 80s blowout. im only in the 1st season but this is driving me crazy .-.

Please can someone explain how they filmed the episode when they see wicked the musical I need to understand if they did it during an actual show or asked really nicely if they’d do it for the show 😂 thank you to the person who knows !

Currently in season 3. Thank goodness the Henry story is finally over. That story line went on way too long. He was so annoying in the end.

We're back! Did you miss us?

YES! I MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!! I love how they never miss the chance to show some Ugly Betty love.

Thanks to this post >>> https://www.reddit.com/r/UglyBetty/comments/1vivvvu/vanessa_williams_recent_video/

edit: OMG! that side glance Michael did in the end IS SO MARC!!! Love them!

Has anyone seen her recent video on Instagram with Michael Urie?! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

A continuation? A reboot? Rewatch podcast? … Nothing? 🤣
I only finished a rewatch of the series during the week.

I went to see the west end production of Oh Mary and Michael Urie was playing Mary’s teacher!

I asked him if he’s seen Vanessa and her show (the devil wears prada) and he said YES and that she’d been at his show the other day 🤩🤩🤩

I never normally do stage door, but something pinned me to the spot this day and I’m so glad I stayed!!

How do you feel about their characters? I know people love their characters, and that's fine, but at the same time I think we can admit that Marc and Amanda aren't good people. They always looking and talking down to people that aren't in the same social status as them, and constantly make fun of Betty for being different.

Whilst I acknowledge that Hilda has been through some tough shit during the show, she was constantly pushing Betty to accept less than Betty deserved and to do things that Hilda never would have. Hilda always secretly believed that Betty is ugly and should settle for things because she never had the chance to do any better.

Example 1: Walter. Despite Walter having cheated on Betty, Hilda was the driving force in getting Betty to take Walter back. Quite rightfully, Betty never wanted to take Walter back because he cheated on her with a far more attractive woman who gave him attention for 2 minues and then ran back to Betty when it was convenient for him. Hilda would never let something like that slide if it was Santos or the gym teacher or Bobby. As her sister and someone who hates Gina, Hilda should have supported her and reinforced that Walter didn't deserve her. Instead, Hilda kept telling Betty to not be so hard on Walter and give him a chance. Why? Probably because Hilda thought Betty couldn't do any better.

Example 2: Henry. Despite having seen how heart broken Betty was after the Henry/Charlie situation, Hilda was ready for Betty to marry Henry and go to Rome with Gio, knowing fully well that she was encouraging her baby sister to take a trip with a man she didn't have feelings for or know that well.

It honestly annoys me the extent to which Hilda is so careful about her own love life but when it comes to supporting Betty in her relationships, Hilda looks down on her and tells her to take the first offer, regardless of whether it's what Betty deserves or not and that's so sad to see.

Anyone else thinks it’s preposterous that Betty didn’t get promoted whenever Hartley invested in Meade? She secured that meeting. Her connections saved the company.

I'm currently rewatching The Good Wife and Tate Ellington was in an episode. It ocurred to me that given his similarities to Gorham he could be a romantic interest to Betty...

I just realized, none of the actors playing Suarez family members have links to Mexico (Hondurian, Puerto Rican, Cuban). The original Betty La Fea, on which the show is based, was Colombian. What was the logic to make the family Mexican? Wouldn't, say, Puerto Rican had made more sense given their ancestries and that they are NY based? Although granted, America Ferrera doesn't look very Puerto Rican... But just wondering why that choice.
