With the recently concluded second season of Ugly Betty, fans can’t help but think what’s in store next season.  Silvio Horta has already told us that he’ll be refocusing the show to revolve around Betty and Betty alone, and this may mean bad things for some of the characters who might get chopped off.  We recently heard about Rebecca Romijn’s role on the show as being tagged as recurring instead of regular, and fans did get a little bit worried.

Now that the show is on hiatus in preparation for its third season, two of Ugly Betty’s cast members spoke up about other possible Ugly Betty ventures, and what’s to come in the third season of the show.

Recently, Michael Urie, who plays the flamboyant Marc St. James, spoke to Britain’s Heart Fm and talked about the possibility of a Broadway rendition of the highly successful dramedy.

Tonight is the night Ugly Betty fans have been waiting for, for weeks!  The second season is finally coming to a close, and with that, creator Silvio Horta has made big promises of great twists and cliffhangers coming our way in the last episode entitled “Jump.”

Last week on Ugly Betty, we saw some pretty smoking hot scenes as Gio made his feelings known to Betty (America Ferrera) in a bold move.  To further confuse things, Wilhemina Slater (Vanessa Williams) came back into the picture, with a nice grand entrance to meet the Meade family and shake Daniel’s (Eric Mabius) hand.  What’s to come now that Wilhemina is back to cause more trouble?  And what exactly will be that hard decision Betty has to make?  Read on to see what’s in store tonight.

In the highly anticipated season finale of Ugly Betty, we’ll get to see

Tonight on Ugly Betty, we’ll get to see the last episode before next week’s season finale, which the cast and crew have already promised to be one explosive episode.  Episode 2.17, entitled “The Kids Are Alright,” will air tonight at 8pm, and will bring us back one very familiar face into the picture.  Before we move on to some preview clips, though, let’s talk about the recently reported move to New York, which has become quite a hassle for a number of Ugly Betty cast and production staff.  In fact, Ugly Betty News reports that one unnamed cast member that’s reluctant about the move, and many were quick to assume that it was Eric Mabius, who plays Daniel Meade in the series.  TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello, on the other hand, confirms that Mabius will continue working with Ugly Betty for its third season. Moreover, he gave

After months of rumors and talks about former child star/tween idol turned drug and alcohol dependent Lindsay Lohan being a guest star on Ugly Betty, the deal was finally done and the 21-year-old actress began shooting her episodes.  Word has it that the young actress, who is struggling to get her career back on track, is enjoying her stay on the Ugly Betty set.  Moreover, series creator Silvio Horta says that it was fun working with such a great actress.

“Lindsay was terrific - a real pleasure,” Silvio Horta told Stuff.  “She came in early and was very pleasant.”

As for Lohan’s character, it seems that she’ll need her Mean Girls experience to back her up, since she will be playing something close to her character in the 2004 film.

“She plays a queen bee girl who Betty went to high school with,” Horta continues.  “Her character Kimberly

Lindsay Lohan will play a former high school bully during her forthcoming stint in TV show Ugly Betty.

The actress has signed up for six episodes of the hit U.S. programme in a bid to kickstart her struggling Hollywood career.

She will play Kimberley, the high school nemesis of America Ferrera's title character Betty.

Creator Silvio Horta tells Usmagazine.com, "Kimberley and Betty are going to run into each other. Kimberley's life has taken a turn for the worse. It doesn't turn out well for Betty."

And he insists Lohan's reputation as a troublesome and tardy star is unfounded: "She was terrific, a pleasure. She came in early and was very pleasant."

Lohan's first episode will be the season finale, aired in the U.S. on 22 May.
