Absolutely Betty and Daniel! I mean, they don’t have to be married by the end of the show, but it would be nice to see how their friendship has grown into something romantic.
They should end the series just like the telenovela’s Betty was based upon, lose the braces, show her true beauty, marry the boss’s son, live happily ever after.
Wouldn’t that mean she’d be marrying Daniel’s French son?
All I want is to Justin to go on a date and get kissed by another boy.
Gross
Homophobe.
I think it would be cute. Not a sloppy makeout, just a shy first kiss.
Definietly, maybe the cute dancer from the football team who he was friends with at one time!
@Sandy, your homophobia is what’s gross and unbecoming.
Betty can end up with anyone BUT Henry and Daniel and I’ll be happy.
Henry, so over that guy. Betty is too, she has moved on. I think the series should either end w/ Betty\Daniel or Betty w/ no one, just being successful in her career.
It would be great to see Connor come back for Willy. Betty has had too many men in & out of her life. She needs to be single for a while and enjoy living in the city and working at her new job at Mode. Damn you ABC. Seriously, what is the difference between 20 & 22 episodes?
Michael Urie is a genius.
But seriously, I’ll be okay with a vaguely romantic/hopeful ending for Betty, but I’d much prefer for her to end single. Betty is best as an independent woman.
I watched the show last night and I’m really going to miss it. It’s not like any other show on TV right now and the characters are unique. Plus there’s a wackiness and tartness to the writing that is hard to find on other shows. And those colorful sets and costumes will also be missed.
You said it well. Truly my own sentiments as well.
Betty with Daniel would negate the whole premise of the story. This is not Cinderella! She should have an exciting job offer, and they should re-introduce Gio. He was perfect for her, and maybe by the last episode, she will have grown up enought to realize that.
Adding Gio back in after him being gone would make absolutely no sense to the storyline… Plus Betty made it pretty clear that she only saw Gio as a friend… I feel it would negate the whole premise of the story if she doesn’t end up with Daniel… Personally the whole them being brother and sister makes me want to barf that people actually think that….
I don’t know what kind of relationship some of you have with your siblings but it’s so wrong to think that they have a brother and sister relationship… By the way start coming up with your opinions and not the opinions of the writers of this show…
Daniel, absolutely sure, he is the man right for ela.SEmpre was with her in good and bad times of her life and she with him.
Henry has to go back to Tucson with her son and his girlfriend, that’s where he has to stay, he thinks that Betty is like a food shelf in a supermarket and you’ll get experience when you want, that’s absurd.
Matt is confused, undecided.
Daniel … I have not even what to say … he is the best.
Can not wait for me to see her without the aid
Matt was never confused or undecided when it came to Betty. He has always loved her. Undecided on his career… I’ll agree with you there but Betty has inspired him remember? She has touched his life and when he returns from Africa he will be determined, focused and goal oriented in his career. He will then be Betty’s perfect match.
Yes, agree with health.star. Matt was never confused on his feelings for Betty. He was Betty’s best boyfriend so far. I hope writers think of bringing him back.
I totally agree with health.star and Shaf.
I really hope Matt will be back by the end of the story.
I loved Henry in the first season, but he does not deserve Betty anymore!
Belle, I agree, why not just play out 22 episodes. It’s not like ABC has so much amazing product out there, like the totally useless Private Practice (why is that garbage still on, when Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone were cancelled?).
I hope Betty ends up with Gio. I liked them together.
How many episode are left anyway?
3 or 4 to still shoot. There are 7 left to air
I concur with april-ann. ABC is the WORST run net. Quality does not survive on ABC.
I think ABC is actually one of hte best. They consistently bring great new programs to the air Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Modern Family come to mind. They also aren’t known predominantly for reality TV like Fox(American Idol). I think that shows that get canceled on ABC would have been fine on other networks because those networks aren’t as good at recruiting quality television.
Do not bring back Henry. Why?
