Exclusive: 'Ugly Betty' hires Henry 2.0

Dec 18, 2008, 04:14 PM | by Michael Ausiello

Categories: Ugly Betty

Ausiellouglybetty_l Ugly Betty has cast a new love interest for America Ferrera, and he's cute in an unconventional way, smart and career conscious, and friendly yet socially awkward.

OMG, Henry's coming back!

Kind of.

Actually, no he's not.

Multiple sources confirm to me exclusively that Daniel Eric Gold (Charlie Wilson's War) has been cast in the recurring role of Matt, a seemingly Henry-esque hottie with whom Betty meets at YETI (Young Editors' Training Initiative).

I'm told Betty producers have big plans for Betty and Matt. The kind of big plans that led them to include a series regular option in Gold's just-inked contract.

The burning question: What does this mean for Betty's current crush, Jesse? I'm guessing it means he bought himself a one-way ticket to the doghouse when he decided to suck face with Amanda. Having said that, I have no confirmation that Val Emmich's Betty stint has come to an end.

And not to OD on the Henry/Matt parallels, but the new guy shares something else in common with Christopher Gorham's much-missed alter ego: he's keeping a secret. A secret that could impact Betty's life in a significant way.

What do you think he's hiding? Are you happy a new long-term romance is on the horizon for Betty -- regardless of the whole secret thing? Do you wish they'd just bring back Henry instead? Or Gio? Sound off below!

I still want spicy sexy Freddy Rodriguez Gio. Daniel Eric Gold used to impress me in the first episodes but his character ended being a weak and dorky softie. I'm too old for such characters. I wish they could bring spark, sexy and banter: I WANT GIO BACK!

Makeda1985 Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 06:13 AM EST

I find him really really cute!!!!!
I hope this will be a lasting relationship. I do not want a Betty Daniel end. I think they should stay as friends, good friends.

Cecilia Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 03:49 PM EST

Totally falling for Matt. I still think he has a Josh Groban quality to him. I hope they keep him on for a long time.

KerryL Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 03:40 PM EST

Yay!
Gio is gone (seriously crappy guy)
Henry is gone (so wrong for Betty)
Jesse is gone (non starter really)
AND ...
Matt is here! Seriously loving this guy. Great meld of all the good character points of Henry and Gio (did Gio have any good points?) but why did they reveal his "secret" so soon? So many more story lines could have been made from that "secret" and they've blown it!
Still love Matt though!

Peta H Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 08:34 PM EST

Lurve Matt!!!!!!!!! So cute!!!!!!!!!!!
Betty & Matt make a great couple.

Henry - boring, Gio - yuck, yuck, yuck and did I mention, YUCK!!!!!

I still think Betty should end up with Daniel LOL as if!

J Daniels Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 08:31 PM EST

Gio did nothing for me,(blerk, cannot stand the character) I'm loving this new guy, Matt

CLB Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 08:39 PM EST

This new boy is HOT! HOT! HOT! His first episode on the show, was enough for me to fall head over heals in love!

Kawea Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 10:39 PM EST

Why does Betty have all these love interests? Can't she be single for awhile. Anyway, I vote to bring Gio back. They had a great relationship as confidants and love interests. With Christina leaving, Betty needs someone to chat with. Perfect will they or won't they storyline.

Who the heck cares who Betty ends up with? First she had Henry, who I liked, then that got mucked up with the baby mama drama - which I really disliked. Then Gio burst forth and I really liked him too - liked that he brought out a side to Betty that made her even more interesting and that he himself was a fresh and interesting character and what do you know? That got mucked up too! Then, season 3, ratings are falling because a) people where genuinely ticked off with Betty's 'decision' and b) no-one really wants to see a show go backwards as they claimed to be by going back to season 1 roots, or whatever, and suddenly the no more romance rule is out and love interests are back in - not only that, but they seem to be trying to copy what had gone before! Don't fix what ain't broke, people! Apparently, the producers are too big to listen to us mere mortals (fans) and hear what we like about a show - we don't influence it, eh? Remind us of that again when you get cancelled.

Missy Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 12:11 AM EST

Ugly Betty was the bomb first season. And now it stucks. What the f**k happened? It's a bit too preachie. We want entertainment not an endless series of morality lessons about sexuality. And why is it that the straight guys are always a-holes, geeks, or thugs?

I think that Betty deserves to have a fatal attraction or someone that has loved her and no one would have ever guessed it.Or even better, how about a Betty look a like (every one has a twin) that is popular, hot and a real head turner. This person could jepordizes Mode and all it characters, along with Betty's past , present and future love interest.

lisa Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 12:07 PM EST

Yes, Betty deserves to have a relationship.Since, the beginning, Betty always makes the right decision. When she settled for Henry even though he was married,it made Hispanic women look cheap. How about giving her dad a break and giving him someone to love or made someone to consider marrying, of course with his family's approval first. Or how about some insight on Betty's newphew who is gay. I think that it's time for TV to show what the young generation is goes through when they feel ready to open up to their family about their sexuality.

georgina Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 04:02 PM EST

The time of Gio/Betty and Henry/Betty have come and gone. Get. Over. It. Already.

On that note, can't wait for January 8 when the show starts up again! It's going to be great. :-D

Bettyfan Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 02:38 PM EST

I miss Henry. Bring him back!

Hider Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 10:42 AM EST

Gio is totally the guy I want for Betty. Sure, Henry was nice, but he never pushed her like Gio did. He was the one that got her to remember her dreams and enroll in that writing class. They were adorable and perfect for each other. I still think they'd be together if Freddy hadn't wanted to do movies.

As far as Jesse goes, bor-ing. He turned Betty into a cringe-worthy high school girl that I dreaded watching. His song was cute and I think it was a good plotline because, let's be honest, someone like Betty would not get nearly as much male attention in the real world. It might not be right, but it was realistic for him to Amanda over Betty and I for one am glad that they finally included a guy who didn't fall head over heels for her.

If we have to get a 2.0, make it a Gio 2.0. The Henry card has long since been played.

nerakzb Sat, Dec 27, 2008 at 01:18 PM EST

All i have to say is that they broke the mold with Gorham (Henry). There could never be another or a 2.0! I am still wondering why they never really had closure with him...my theory is that maybe Henry (the real one) will be back late in the season. I sure hope so.Henry was so sweet and loved Betty and Betty loved him, and people who bash this character....well, you never really knew him... is all I have to say. And when people say she had a thing with Jesse....hello...were you watching the same show as me? She had a bit of a crush, but nothing ever came of it, heck, Jesse never even knew. I am going to hope the writers find a way to bring the real Henry back, even if it is just for some closure.

frank Fri, Dec 26, 2008 at 03:58 PM EST

Gio with his own show?! Mu-HAHAHA! That'll be doomed to failure even before it hits the ground (think Matt LeBlanc's show "Joey"). Marc and Amanda deserve their own show, not that small carrots character. And funny how some of you hate Betty for what happened to Gio. She's not a real person, girlies. The WRITERS made her do it, so get over it. On second thought, cry a river like you're doing now. I think it's nice seeing some of you immature fans cry and suffer, actually. ;) I'm letting my inner Wilhelmina come out, so happy holidays to ya!

cn Fri, Dec 26, 2008 at 01:02 PM EST

bring Gio back!! He was DEFINITELY my favorite. I liked Henry but not nearly as much as Gio!

Sue Fri, Dec 26, 2008 at 02:29 AM EST

It's interesting to have another love interest, but I just gotta say I simply love Betty and Henry together. I'm still hoping that he'll come back and maybe there's something to rekindle.

Bee Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 05:51 PM EST

Actually - Gio needs his own show. I don't really see why he would want such a stupid gal like Betty - unless he was totally blinded by luuuuuv. Let the daft diva pick any gorky geeky Love Interest - I have left the show - I still remain amongst the Getty Girls. Merry Christmas!

laurie Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 12:52 AM EST

Felipe - there was nothing wrong with FanSel's reply. I think she/he made an educated reply. But whatever. In the spirit of the season, let me return the favor and say this: Felipe - You're a dickhead. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! =D

FanSel Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 08:34 PM EST

from the language POV
english is an anglosaxon language and so is german (amongst others), I just listed countries in wich that languages are spoken
[is it really necesary to insult?]


Felipe Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 05:53 PM EST

Why is USA Anglo-Saxon? You're an idiot.

Dia
(...),Italian, French, Spanish and Latin americans are latins
-
USA, Uk, Germany(...) are Anglo-Saxons

Dia Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 01:02 PM EST

minderbinder, Gio the actor is Latin but the character was not. I'm not sure if they ever mentioned his race but we were to assume he was italian.

minderbinder Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 06:52 PM EST

Dia, they did pair her up with a latino: Gio.

But it's not like she could only have a boyfriend who is the same race, right?

Jonathan Brooks Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 06:30 PM EST

As much as I enjoy the drama generated by Betty's love life, I think the core of the show and the source of entertainment of this series is the concept of keeping the family ties into adulthood, and the creation of family-like ties in your worklife and lovelife.

Betty is unique in current television dramas in her tendency to re-create a huge number of work relationships and love relationships that reflect a sort of family member dynamic.

Gio may have been a love interest, but he was also an older brother like mentor to Betty, and Henry was the baby brother character that Betty had to protect.

Daniel is the idealized older brother that has moved away from home, who Betty idolizes not so much as a romantic interest, but as a surrogate family member.

Mama Meade is clearly become a aunt to Betty, with protective instincts, and fondness that does not match the fact that Betty is an employee.

Marc and Amanda are black sheep family that Betty protects. And so forth.

alison Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 03:52 PM EST

Matt? Eh. As long the writers don't forget Betty and Daniel along the way, then I'm fine with whoever they bring in.

Lowri Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 03:10 PM EST

Bring back Gio!

Tom Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 02:24 PM EST

Besides being the cutest,Gio was the best! He really loved Betty and showed her how to finally have some fun. Freddy Rodriguez is an excellent actor, who brought some real passion to the show, that I think is now missing.

Darcy Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 12:46 PM EST

"Hey, Betty's got more room for the rest of the alphabet for her relationships. Matt, Gio, Henry, Walter, Jesse....which consonants hasn't she used up yet? :D"

Bella, she hasn't used the "D" consonant yet - meaning Daniel, of course. ;) But I think most of us Daniel/Betty shippers are patient enough to wait. The best is yet to come. :D

dia Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 11:53 AM EST

so they're never going to pair Betty up with a Latino? I'm almost getting offended that the writers of the show don't think it's important to ever assume that she could be in love with a Latin man who is both successful and attractive.

Angela Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 12:31 AM EST

Gio! I loved Gio! Bring him back!

cklove Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 12:24 AM EST

There can never be another Henry so they might as well bring Gio back! He's a really enjoyable character. They wouldn't even have to put him and Betty together, just bring him back on the show!!

Sammy Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 11:49 PM EST

Bring Henry back!

Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 11:28 AM EST

That guy a hottie? You are kidding me, right?

He's NOT cute in any conventional or unconventional way!

Bella Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 01:45 AM EST

Que sera, sera. We all know that Voldemort will take over Mode in the end anyway. Betty and Metty, Getty, Wetty, and Benry won't matter!

Hey, Betty's got more room for the rest of the alphabet for her relationships. Matt, Gio, Henry, Walter, Jesse....which consonants hasn't she used up yet? :D

FanSel Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 08:36 PM EST

oh! and I forgot, the hole Daniel-DJ plot came since the end of season 2
till Betty Suarez Land
and don't forget Hilda and her affair with the coach that came since the last chapters of season 2 (chapter 17 or 16) till crimes of fashion (if my memory doesn't fail)

FanSel Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 08:28 PM EST

I totally agree that this is similar to the 1st season...
as far as plot is concerned, -christina's pregnancy comes since season 2
-connor being CFO comes since Ugly Berry
-the hole daniel-molly-connor-willie comes since Tornado girl
-amanda being betty's roommate comes since Crushd
-Betty going to YETI is certainly going to continue for a pretty long time, I presume
..there are other plots that I'm certainly missing, but my point is, that the fact that they are developing those plots doesn't mean that they can't develop 'mini-plots' that last a chapter or two, to make thw show more dinamyc and entretaining, and develop the character's personality

sean Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 08:01 PM EST

Just because Betty isn't a real character, why shouldn't we expect real life scenarios to play out? That's why most people started watching the show in the first place - because they identified with Betty's difficulties and her fish-out-of-water persona. Besides, it's more interesting to see Betty in different adventures and meeting new people. It's realistic, entertaining, and certainly less boring that way. As a matter of fact, I think the writers are doing a better job this season of balancing the entertainment and "reality" factors of the show, like they did in Season one. Season two seemed more telenovela-ish, which I hated.

tori ann Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 07:48 PM EST

I don't like the idea of a new love interest, and in that sense, I'm not in total agreement with Carla or JJ, but even I can see both sides of the argument. In all fairness, I think both Carla and JJ have the right to their opinions and have made solid arguments in regards to Betty meeting new people. Marci, there's no need to be oversensitive. It's not like they were attacking YOU, were they?

Marci Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 07:14 PM EST

Carla, I resent your insinuation that the only people who are sensible are those who agree with you. I think you are entitled to express your opinion but I find it very sensible that all the people who loved one of the guys from last year are still angry. They found something they truly enjoyed about the show and it was totally played up last year. We had to endure "Who will she choose" all summer. Then we get this ridiculous and out of character start to season 3. And plenty of people did move on as evidenced by the ratings.
People are entitled to still exprss their unhappiness about this.If you found Betty's love life so annoying last year you should have moved on from the show. And jj, if Betty were a real person, instead of a character in a a telenovela, your comments would make sense. Since she is a fictional character and her actions are written/manipulated by writers/producers, fans have a right to be annoyed when they feel they are being jerked aroud.

Sweetie Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 06:36 PM EST

Although I have to admit I am a huge Getty fan...

I have given up on who Betty is actually going to be with. I just don't want any more love interests. Any of the other love interests she has will do. Just wish Betty could get her act together and maybe concentrate on her career instead of love for a while. The world does not revolve around Betty and her relationships.

wooster182 Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 06:12 PM EST

I don't think most of us want Gio back just as a love interest. We enjoyed his character. We'd take him back readily, even if he wasn't with Betty. I agree that life introduces many people in one's life, but on a show, it's only as good as its characters and Gio was a great character. And Freddy Rodriguez is an amazing actor.

I'm mostly irritated about this "Henry 2.0" for 2 reasons. 1) We already had one Henry; I don't want to go through another one. 2) This is the FIFTH love interest in THREE seasons. I can't think of any other character on tv who has gone through as many steady love stories as that in so little time. It's scattered and sloppy direction.

If anyone is bitter over Gio--and even Henry--it's because we'd rather see loved, past characters than add on another love interest that isn't going to last more than 10-20 episodes.

As for the immature conversation going on in this thread, anyone is welcome to want no new character, want Gio, Daniel, Jesse, Henry, or Matt.

carla d. Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 04:51 PM EST

jj - I've seen very few sensible comments on this message board, and yours is definitely one of them. Kudos to you for being logical about this situation! I don't exactly like it when UB focuses on Betty's love life above all else (as they did last season), but I understand that it's natural for her to meet someone new eventually. And anyhow, I have a feeling that this love interest will serve a bigger purpose for the show's other storylines, so this should be interesting and different than before...

Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 04:51 PM EST

gio was the more realistic, a boy from the neighbourhood, and he had charisma. i loved him, and i want him back!

I think people need to look at this more rationally: In life, you often meet plenty of people - and it's not uncommon for them to come and go, especially with love interests. So, it's not unusual that Betty's going to meet someone new. And it happens through the YETI program? Well, that makes PLENTY of sense. She's thrown together with these group of people who are her professional peers - so why wouldn't she meet some eligible guy in that bunch? See, that's just one natural part of Betty's journey - to experience many things along the way to her dreams. Frankly, I can't understand why some of you fans have a hard time understanding that. This show is not about her sticking to one love interest for the long haul (e.g., Henry or Gio). This show is about Betty working towards her professional dreams while staying true to herself. Everything else is just secondary to that. So, sorry - but I'm going to be blunt: If you only want Henry and Gio, you need to go.

Why does Betty need a love interest at all?? It's much more interesting focusing on her career and family. Focus on your career, woman!
