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.

Ugly Betty star Michael Urie has let slip TV bosses are planning on taking the hit U.S. show to Broadway.

The cast of the programme are soon going to be able to showcase their vocal talents in a musical episode - and now Urie admits there are plans afoot to stage a full theatrical production in New York.

Urie insists that if the Broadway show is given the go ahead, he would like all of the original cast to take part.

He tells British radio station Heart Fm, "They do want to do an Ugly Betty musical, a full-on Broadway musical, but it's all hush-hush. I think it would be great, and they should use the cast from the show.

"I think we would all do it, although we maybe don't dance and sing as well as professional singers and dancers. I think it would be fun for us to do it for a while, and then they could get real people in. They definitely want to do an episode that is a musical one, but then they want to do a full stage show. I think it's a great idea. It would definitely work."

There won’t be any major stuntcasting when ABC’s “Ugly Betty” returns April 24. It’s been rumored that “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano might make an appearance on the Thursday dramedy, but ABC is not confirming that cameo at present.

Anyway, the show will get back to basics and focus on the core characters when Betty Suarez and her family and co-workers return.

As for “Grey’s Anatomy,” its first episode back on April 24 is titled “Where the Wild Things Are.” Make of that what you will.

There are more details on the returns of “Grey’s” and “Ugly Betty” below.

[Spoilers below. Exit if you don't want to see them.]

“Ugly Betty’s” first episode back is called “24 Candles,” and it does hark back a bit to the classic John Hughes film “Sixteen Candles.”

In the episode, Betty dreams of the perfect birthday party, complete with a horse and carriage and her boyfriend Henry (Christopher Gorham) as her knight in shining armor.
