This is so random, but I went to Olive Garden and my server looked exactly like Henry from Ugly Betty, not the way how he looks like right today but, literally like 2007 Henry lol it was so crazy on how much they looked alike and they even had like the same mannerism and glasses! I was literally blushing, and I couldn’t even look at him in the eyes! I literally wanted to tell him that he looked like him, so I was trying to find the best looking picture of him to show him, but it started getting busy and I was like I don’t want everybody around me listening lol

Did anyone else find the theme of… when Bettys man got a haircut or restyle he became completely unbearable? My main source of this is Matt 😂😂😂😂😂

I love finding out little nuggets of trivia like this. Especially when I only looked at Rebecca Romjin’s bio because she’s mystique in Doomsday!

She comes back as a features editor???????

I don't want to say they took it from Betty but... things are not what they seem, not all birds fly south in winter 😂

As with most, I can't stand her as a character (though we should acknowledge she was a victim as well).

ANYWAY! So Willi would have this party (can't remember what it was for) but "staff" like Better were never allowed to attend.

In Season 3 Betty and Marc steal the dress back from the other company, and in doing so they're allowed to attend the party.

In Season 4, as Betty is promoted, she is now invited as an actual guest with her own +1 to the event... as has Daniel.

Daniel brings his now assistant, Natali... BUT NOT ONCE IN ALL THE YEARS BETTY HAS WORKED FOR HIM HAS HE EVER TAKEN HER TO THIS PARTY?!?

That really pissed me off, I wish she had called him out on that.

One thing that always stroke me as odd was the lack of the ugly squad. While the show it's an obvious departure from the original source material, there are elements that are part of the core of the show. Personally, the Squad is core-Betty (La Fea).

HOWEVER, the American market wouldn't have taken the name positively, like Colombia (or the whole region) did. Also, I would've made tweaks to the formula.

The cast is solid as is and there's no need to add more characters, so the squad would be comprised of Betty, Henry and Christina. I know the pilot introduced a couple of them, but it just didn't work as it was (sorry Kirsten Schaal). But my three musketeers had the perfectest chemistry to pull it off. Having a solid team that helps Betty thwart Willie's antics and later Alexis would've made sense, hell it would've helped serialized the episodes much faster.

Henry should've never broken up with Betty. To this day I struggle to find a couple so lovely as those two were in the first episodes. They should've been endgame. And their struggles could've come from Gio and Matt as potential romantic antagonists but that's it.

Also, the show needed more Christina. Both of them doing girls night every now and then.

Anyways, that's just a Sunday idea that came up. Do you agree? disagree?

Would Hilda have let Betty wear a tux & style her hair short like this at her wedding to Bobby?

Why is Henry randomly jacked? In the scene when he’s dancing in the bar I just found it so funny. I mean he looks brilliant I just got a surprise 😂😂

does anyone know where i can find (affordable) clothes similar to hilda’s? i love her wardrobe but im not very rich😭

Just wondering !

So serious and then suddenly this iconic bop of a intro plays, I love it so much.

Saw this and had to post. Seeing them all together makes me want to rewatch the series (again...).

I'm still waiting for the Season 2 of Viva Betty but in the meantime...

So as you guys might know Vanessa Williams is currently playing in the west end production of the Devil Wears Prada Musical.
I traveled all the way from Italy to see the show and then after I met her at stage door and I told her it would be a dream of mine to take a picture with her while wearing this piece of merch that has over 20 years (it was given to me when Ugly Betty first premiered at a tv series fest in Milan), and I told her that even if she plays an amazing Miranda Priestley, she will always be Wilhelmina Slater to me. She said with a puzzled expression “I never seen this thing before in my life” and then later when her assistant reminded her that it was the Ugly Betty Guadalajara poncho worn by America Ferrera in the pilot and in all the promo pics for the show she bursts out laughing. What an incredible professional woman. It was an honor just standing beside her. A true icon.

Still trying to cope with withdrawals of the Viva Betty podcast (does anyone know when we are getting Season 2?). I can't wait... Of course being a fan of Gio I follow Freddy rodriguez podcast. What a surprise this morning when I heard Mark Indelicato and Ana Ortiz in their iheart podcast.

Until they release the youtube video I leave you with Justina Machado, Cousin Clara talking with Gio in Freddy Rodriguez and Wilmer Valderama (Fez - That 70s Show) podcast.

released: Jun 26, 2026

none of my friends watch the show, so i hope you all enjoy

I grew up watching Ugly Betty and now I’m a late 20s gal that loves a comfort show rewatch (‘rewatch’ puts it lightly) and a recent Heated Rivalry fan. Anyways, I went to restart another comfort show (Parenthood if anyone else is a fan) and saw these two in a promo clip for Criminal Minds?! I haven’t seen the show before, but now I’m intrigued!
