Love is in the air for Ugly Betty! With the show coming to its end, it was only a matter of time before a new love interest enters Betty's life, but surprisingly Betty isn't the only one. Betty's nephew Justin will find himself unexpectedly in a new love triangle with his new friends Austin and Lily. Which comes as no surprise since creator Silvio Horta mentioned that Justin's sexuality will be addressed somewhat near the finale. Meanwhile Betty has to deal with her own dilemma when
Gossip Girl's Aaron Tveit is set to star as Richard, a young playwright who is set to profile at MODE (Where Betty works) and of course sparks will fly between the two.
Ugly Betty returns March 17th at 10/9c on ABC.
You can check out the rest of the promo pictures after the jump.

With the sudden departure of Edie from Desperate Housewives in season 5, and Ugly Betty recently having been canceled there was suddenlly two very favored actresses on the market. Thankfully Nicollette Sheridan and Becki Newton both recently scored starring roles in new pilots.
Becki Newton has signed on to star in NBC's dramedy pilot "Love Bites", which follows multiple storylines of love and dating. Wherein Newton will be playing a social worker called Annie who also happens to be a virgin. Created by "Sex and the City's"Cindy Chupack.
Whereas Nicollette Sheridan is planning on starring in a new CBS comedy pilot where she plays a Hollywood stage mom to a teen starlet. This seems like good news for TV's two favorite actresses, lets just hope their characters become as iconic as their previous ones. Good luck!

I like many others are still trying to get over the sudden cancellation of ABC's 'Ugly Betty' who once again had a superb episode on Wednesday night. And surprisingly its highest ratings of the season despite still being considered low. But that's not what I want to talk about. I found something very interesting, a recent poll that asked a total of 7934 voters a series of questions about Ugly Betty. The poll had some very compelling results to show.
27.91%
Yep, that's the exact percentage of voters that said they didn't watch the current season of Ugly Betty after ABC decided to move it from Thursdays to Fridays. Meanwhile 10.64% said they didn't watch because they didn't know what day and time it aired. And 17.27% said they didn't watch because it airs too late.
By looking at just these three results I find one thing in common between all of them. The word blame comes to mind, and truly I believe that ABC only has themselves to blame for Ugly Betty's poor ratings. Sure there were other factors effecting the show (a poor season 3) but being produced by ABC Studios Ugly Betty was one of the networks cheapest shows to produce, so this isn't a money issue. No its whether the show could still pull in a sufficient amount of viewers that ABC was fine with, and sadly it lacked in this area.
But having changed Ugly Betty from Thursdays at 8PM to the "dead zone" Friday nights at 9PM and now at Wednesdays at 10PM. I feel the show lost a sufficient amount of viewers due to ABC's lack of advertising (when the show moved to Fridays) and the constant scheduling change. Overtime Ugly Betty lost many viewers, due to different aspects such as the Writers Strike, and the shows unfocused plot lines back in season 3 (which didn't continue for long). In the end Ugly Betty in its current season is experiencing a creative resurgence that any struggling show would hope for. It has reached a level of quality that shows after 10 season's could never live up to. And it truly does show how despite Ugly Betty's poor ratings, its the network that has themselves to blame.

Being a long time fan of Ugly Betty I along with many others surely mourned on the day ABC announced they were cancelling our beloved show. Now with recent news of Betty's episode order being cut down from 22 to 20, fans are worried whether the show could hurriedly give Betty her happy ending.
With 7 episodes left before the series finale could the writers of Ugly Betty be frantically trying to give any form of closure for the fans? You bet they are! But not without some fan disappointment in the mix. Executive producer and head writer Silvio Horta recently sat down and spilled the beans on Ugly Betty's series finale, but don't worry not everything was spilled!
