Ugly Betty is once again is TV Guide’s MegaBuzz post, and they verify something many of us suspected since last season’s finale:
How soon before we discover the identity of Willi’s mystery visitor on Ugly Betty? — Jamie
MICKEY [O'connor]: You won’t have to wait very long at all actually, but you may not recognize him or her after the big reveal. In this case, though, it’s not the who that’s important, it’s the why, and it marks the beginning of a storyline that spotlights Willi’s special talent for deception.
***WARNING: SPOILER-LIKE SUBSTANCE AHEAD***
This pretty much seals the deal. In episode 3.24, The Fall Issue, when Wilhelmina drops her glass and says to an unseen someone, "What are YOU doing here?", many of you wisely guessed that the person she saw was her daughter, Nico.
Well, the fact that O’Connor says we may not recognize the mystery person tells us that yes, indeed, it’s Nico.
The part of Wilhelmina’s daughter is being played by a new person, Yaya Dacosta (America’s Next Top Model).
Nico was always a rebellious young lady, and it looks like she’s gotten herself into some kind of trouble (this is judging from some of the other spoilers floating around). Apparently, Willi’s going to have to use her considerable talent at deception to get her daughter out of trouble.
I THINK this has something to do with Connor Owens, but that’s just a hunch.
I’m kind of glad Nico is coming back. She was always that part of Wilhelmina’s life that she couldn’t control no matter how hard she tried. And I’m curious to see what Dacosta can do with the part.

Although I figured it was Nico due to being a spoiler junkie, I was still holding out hope that it was Fey Sommers. That would’ve been on par with Alexis-as-Bandage-Lady reveal in Season One.
I’m just not that interested in yet another member of Wili’s family, sorry.

I still have hope that Fey Sommers will possibly be involved with Willi’s new story line somehow. Maybe her daughter has some secret involving Fey Sommers.

Good just what I need another American model actor who think because they won a modeling contest on TV they will be great television actresses, ruining my brilliant scripted drama’s yet again. First Eva Marcille destroys my enjoyment of Y&R with her lousy performance of Trya Hamiltion Then this Yaya Dacosta comes and will probably annoy the heck out me on ugly Betty. When these women learn modeling is not the same thing as acting. I blame Maria Bell the current head writer of Young and the Restless she encouraged this dangerous notion that all you have to do be a good actor is be on TV
