DB, it was a very interesting comment. First of all: I really did not want to speak again on a neardy stereotype, but had to, because I had to talk about stereotypes in common and about how they ruin and destroy different shows. And now I want to say about another stereotype, which can be called "They are good as freands, but not lovers..". This is the one that has ruined, killed and destroyed too many amazing pairings on tv, movies, books, etc. People use to say: "Yes, they have an amazing bond, yes, they understand each other, they see each other on a spiritual way, but... that's it! No romance here!" But THAT IS A ROMANCE, at least for me. That's exactly what I personally call chemistry, and that's where any good relationships start. Imho, of course. Now, about Henry. He's a character played by a VERY GOOD actor (and I admit it, though my heart forever belings to Eric). Henry was a start of Betty's growing up as a women. But, imho, that was it. Nothing more. Whith Charlie's coming to New York it was clearly made by the writters what Betty had ment to him and what their relationships had been for true. First: when Charlie comes back, Henry at ones tells Betty that it's all over between them and that they have no future, because he wants to make it up with his ex. So, he and Charlie become a romantic couple, but then he runs back to Betty and sais he wants to be with her. But then Charlie gets pregnant and he wants to leave Betty again, now forever. Why? Because he doesn't want his child to grow up without a father? Then he's decision is not very smart, because he can be a good father even without living with Charlie. I mean, if he swears he loves Betty, what can be worse to any kid than seing his father not loving his mother, but despite it they still live together? Trust me, I know something about it. So Henry runs away with Charlie again (!), Betty tries to start a new life and heal her broken heart, but then (what a surprise!) Henry comes back again, because he couldn't find a job, so he comes back to Mode... And that's when it all has to be stopped, that's when Betty should tell him she won't let him brake her heart again (and Daniel was totally right about the situation when he wanted to fire Henry trying to protect her from the new heartache), but the writters choose to do a thing, that they now do in lots of other tv shows (including Lost..) - they let a ridiculouse and unthought story-line happen. And no, I'm NOT saing that the whole Benry story-line was ridiculouse, I'm saing that at some moment it just turned this way, when it simply had to be over... And it's not about HAVING TO CHANGE and becoming a different person for someone. My personal opinion is that the point of the show is about people changing because they grow up and they go different roads, and they try different ways to find out what way is actually for them. That's what I love about Daniel/Betty. People never stay high school nerds, or princesses, or princes till the end of their lifes, they have to make a journey and learn, that's what I think. And leaving Betty with Henry, imho, means leaving them in a high school state, like cutting off everything they've achieved thrue their lives... And Betty/Daniel shows how people can make their way from the start step to a new step. OK, I think I've made my point as clear as I could:) Thanks.

It still remains to be my favorite show on TV and I have not missed a single episode. I mean, I was Betty for Halloween this year! Now as we all know, this adaptation of "Yp Soy Betty La Fea" is very much different from the original and the other adaptations of the telanovela. Silvio keeps mentioning that it is not a carbon copy of the show, and he has proved it, adding amazing characters, plot lines, and moments that make me smile. One of those ideas was Henry. He didnt know at the beginning what a popular charcter he was going to be, but look what became of the idea. Once again I say it, out of all teh romantic endeavors that Betty has had, I believe that Henry was the best one for her. So what if they are similar? It just shows that you don't need to change who you are to find that someone that you could possibly share your life with. Never have I been attached to a character and related storylines more than I did with Henry. In my opinion, Henry was the best thing that happened to the show. Can you picture Season 2 without him?? There was a reason that Season 2 was the highest rated and most popular season thus far! Now on to the Detty issue, and I do not care if I get flames for weeks for posting this. It's about time someone speaks up for those who just does not. Throughout the show, you see the relationship between Betty and Daniel grow, but not romantically. It's at the point that if their close friendship somehow turned into a romantic one, it would totally throw off the show IMHO. They are so close as friends that it would seem so awkward for them to transision that way. Also, yes it is an adaptation of the original telenovela, but besides the basic plot line, have we seen any huge similarities to the US version and the adaptation? No. It does not have to end in a Betty/Daniel ending. It is up to the writers and the execs. The point of the show is the transformation from Season 1 Betty to wheneve ot ends, not physically, not romantically, but as a person in herself being proud of who she is fully and no matter what. The only person in my opinion that has helped Betty achieveing it was Henry (even with the baby-mama drama). The chemistry is udeniable and it just outs a smile on anyone's face when it is seen. I'm sorry if I offened anyone, it's about time that someone speaks up for the minority on here. Just remember that EVERYONE here was in the same place that us Nerd Lovers are here now. /rant Thanks for reading, ~BenryDiva (BD) <3 After rereading this article and the comments that were posted on it, i would like to FULLY comment on this issue:

Not gonna even explane why I think so, because the first thing for me that matters is a chemistry. And Detty has it, it had it from the very beginning and Benry doesn't have it. Gio's cool, but he is SO not the one... Matt... well, that would be the most stupid for me. Daniels's fade copy, ha? He's a jerk, that's who he is. I heard that the original creator of Betty (Yo Soy Betty la fea) only sells the rights for the show with the condition that in the series final "Betty will stay with her boss". So, what is Silvio up to, if he so doesn't want to give us Detty? Maybe some ridiculous ending in which Matt becomes the head of Mode and Betty's working for him, and they two marry in the end? Or Betty's gonna say bye to her carriere and go work together with Gio? LOL Really, there are plenty of other stupid varients accounts. As for Henry/Betty and Daniel/Amanda, well, it's the most lame stereotype about a nerd marry a nerd and a beauty marry an equal, which has already ruined so many other series (including Harry Potter LOL in which the main character marries a shool princess though their couple has no chemistry AT ALL). So, Silvio, put yourself together, come on! We've already had so many tv shows died because of producers' and writters' ridiculouse decisions. Detty forever!:) Hello to all the UB fans.

Out of all the romantic endeavours that Betty has been on, I believe that Henry is the one for her. There are many reasons, but since I seemed to be HIGHLY outnumbered right now, I'll save a nice juicier post for another time. There is a reason why the second season was the best thus far in ratings. And no, he is not a "saint" as all you percieve us Benry shippers to see him as. He's human just like everyone else, and he makes mistakes just like all the other suitors for Betty (Matt being indecisive, Daniel being a man ho, Gio being well, Gio). He did what he needed to do and take responsibility for what he did. Is that a crime? I do agree though that if Betty is turning into a swan, it would be AMAZING to see Henry go though a transformation also. It would be really nice, espeically if that is the ending (which I am still hoping). So before all you start going on and stereotyping us Nerd Lovers (again), sit down and THINK about what you guys are saying. The SAME things were said about you Getty shippers, or the Detty shippers, and you Metty ones are getting some also. /rant Until another time, -BD FYI merlin I have been watching the show since season 1 and HAVE NOT STOPPED.

Any other pairing in the end would be disappointing. Over the past four years these two have built a strong bond that could easily lead to falling in love with each other. Lets face it, if Daniel falls for anyone else so soon after Molly's death it would just belittle him as a character and the love he had for Molly. The only happy ending would be with Daniel and Betty. Daniel and Betty all the way!!! Any other pairing in the end would be disappointing.

Let’s get one thing straight: He strung along two women at the same time – both Betty AND Charlie. In other words, he was having an EMOTIONAL AFFAIR with Betty and he didn’t have the cojones to tell Charlie that he had feelings for Betty. He could’ve nipped things in the bud the minute Charlie arrived in NYC, but he wasn’t man enough to tell her. He was spineless, so he led her on, and in the end, he hurt both women. So, Karen? Don’t even try to defend him. BTW, you shouldn’t be in agreement with Silvio because he NEVER said those words about Henry.

Henry and Betty were perfect for eachother, they just screwed it up when they decided to add more drama in Betty's life with Gio. We all loved how Bett and Henry fell in love and then quickly everyone turned on him. He was the bigger man choosing to raise the baby, but he still loved Betty very much.It would be great if Horta could find a way to get them back togetherand still have Henry the guy we fell in love with. Remember, Charlie is the one that made Henry the not-so-likable guy. I hope Gorham does come back for a few. I for one, am in agreement with Horta on this one.
