Well, that didn’t take long. My man Michael Ausiello at TV Guide has the scoop on the 13-year old versions of Ugly Betty cast members I previously told you about.
The way I saw it, there were only two scenarios that could have come out of this casting. One of the characters could have been having a flashback, or it could be a “vision”. By vision, I mean like when Daniel saw 12-year old Betty in episode 2.11, Zero Worship. These moments are many times very touching. They evoke “Heart”, as Slvio Horta puts it.
Anyway, Ausiello gives us the spoiler details, and I pass them to you, after the jump!
Question: I need new Ugly Betty scoop! Throw the puppy a bone, please? — Megan
Ausiello: OK, but you’ll probably want to sit down for this: In a shocking move that will prove less so once I place it in the proper context, producers have decided to recast the roles of Betty, Amanda, Daniel and Gio. But there’s a twist (i.e., the proper context I spoke of earlier). In an upcoming episode, Betty observes younger versions of some of the people in her life while she’s chaperoning a junior-high dance.
Ahhh, now it makes sense. I can’t WAIT to see little Gio. I have a feeling he’s going to be using his “Phil Roth” moves. So junior high.
This is probably also where Hilda will meet her new love interest, but maybe not. I figure it will come in a parent-teacher meeting that has been called because Justin is failing gym. Been there, done that. )
Thank you!
I really can’t wait to see little versions of the characters… especially Gio! I love how he was described as a ‘cute troublemaker’.
Still, it’s a little strange that there isn’t a Henry.
Hmm.
Nice! I love that it’s going to be a vision; I was hoping it would be that rather than a flashback. So much more exciting to see them all interacting.
And Emilia, since Charlie goes into labor in the preceding episode I strongly suspect Henry will be out of the picture by “The Kids are Alright”…
Yeah, you’re probably right. Aha. I didn’t think about that. Then again I’m not a big Henry fan anyway so I’m not complaining.
I’d also love to see them interact! Particularly because of the characters they’ve chosen, it could prove to be very interesting.

Ugly Betty
In episode 2.17, Betty observes younger versions of some of the people in her life while she’s chaperoning a junior-high dance. The 13 to 14-years-old versions are of Betty, Amanda, Daniel and Gio. Young Betty is said to be sitting alone in the bleachers until Justin asks her to dance. Amanda will be putting gum in another girl’s hair. Young Daniel will be escorted by two girls. Young Gio will write graffiti on a wall. [Source: Michael Ausiello and TV Squad]
