'Ugly Betty': Is America Ferrera hinting at a Daniel/Betty hook up?
America Ferrera took time out from promoting her film, "The Dry Land," at Sundance to give some interesting (potentially devastating) hints as to the future of her character on "Ugly Betty.""As we kind of near the end of the fourth season," Ferrera tells ABC News. "A lot of things that have been anticipated in Betty's storyline are going to come to fruition."
Ferrera talks about the physical changes, but we already know that, braces, yada, yada. Here's the juicy part:
"New relationships," she adds. "Or old relationships that become new and kind of change a little bit."
When asked if previous love interests are going to come back, Ferrera answered: "I think it's more that the characters that are there, their relationships are going to transform or grow."
That definitely sounds like she's talking about "Project Detty," the much rumored scenario in which Betty and Daniel get romantically involved!
We thought there was hope for a nice romantic turn for Betty after Zap2it got confirmation that "Mad Men's" Rich Sommer was to guest as a possible recurring love interest for her. That could be just another complicated romantic misdirect before the big "Detty" reveal.
Here's what bothers us about the "Detty" hook-up. Daniel and Betty have become such good friends, almost like siblings. So, the idea of them getting together? It makes our skin crawl a bit.
Second, the original "Betty la Fea" series from Columbia ended with Betty hooking up with their "Daniel" character (and the fans went hysterical with anger, may we add). Does that mean "Ugly Betty" is preparing for this season to be its last or just "jumping the shark"?
Say it isn't so, America!

Okay, I may be in the minority - but Detty would be an amazing ending to this show (even though I do not want it to end :()
But basically, Betty was the original Molly - and Daniel seen something behind 'plain' Molly which he fell in love with. It's obvious that he will see this in Betty soon enough - I agree with everyone, yes they are friends - but its not like they are brother and sister, they are just friends and both care for eachother - and I think this care will just grow into love.
It's the BEST ending. Betty has had this relationship with Daniel right from the first series with minor ups and downs, so it makes sense for them to finally fall in love. Also Betty's friendship with Claire, that is strong too.
GO DETTY!!
hmm, i live in a Latin American country that watched the original Ugly Betty and I don't recall fans getting mad when the "daniel" like character and Betty fell in love.
Your reasoning behind not wanting a Daniel/Betty hook-up is completely paradoxical. On the one hand, you tout the overplayed "brother and sister" mantra. On the other hand, you use the Colombian version of Betty as an example, even though the relationship in that version was completely different from the best friends concept we have in the American show. Betty was unrequitedly in love with the Daniel character since the Colombian show's inception and then, after treating her cruelly, the Daniel character fell in love with her.
The two scenarios have no correlation to each other, other than your assumption that the boss/Betty hookup is the final pairing for both.
...DR, I just wrote to say the same thing as you did: I live in Mexico, watched the original colombian version of Betty la fea with a group of friends(it was appointment tv for us!)and we were not angry with the Betty-Daniel hook-up because it was a natural progression for both characters...
I'm sorry, but I just don't see Betty and Daniel as a couple. I'd rather her end up with either Henry or Matt (leaning more towards Matt since Henry basically screwed her over) and I like the idea of Daniel and Amanda.
It would be nice if you could at least learn how to spell Colombia. (Specially, if you want to call yourself a journalist or reporter.)
Ugly Betty had so much potential and somehow went off track a couple of seasons ago!! I have seen girls and women with a bad clothing choice sense but Betty looks absolutely ridiculous and painful to watch in those rags of many colors, stripes, polka dots etc. She would NOT last in any fashion indusstry that I am familiar with...

Sorry Jethro but you're wrong. We did not burst with anger but with joy !!!
"and the fans went hysterical with anger, may we add" - ummmm...no, not at all...that was the one of the main points of the story! I don't know what fans were mad, but they were certainly a minority!
