Justin Has a Big Night on Tonight’s New Ugly Betty
March 17, 2010
On tonight’s Ugly Betty, Justin, Betty’s fabulous nephew, makes a huge step forward when his acting class turns into a chance at a romance.
In the episode titled “All the World’s a Stage,” Justin has some struggles with love, for the first time in Ugly Betty history. The question on everyone’s mind is: will Justin feel his heart skip a beat for a boy or a girl?
When Justin discovers that he has to get intimate with one of his classmates on stage, he confides in Marc, hoping to relieve some of his pre-show jitters. Will Marc’s advice settle Justin’s concerns or lead him to question himself even more?
It's a big night for Justin on Ugly Betty!
Ugly Betty has been one of television’s most LGBT-inclusive shows, featuring regular and recurring LGBT characters and addressing LGBT culture in an accessible, yet humorous way. In the past, Ugly Betty has been nominated for three GLAAD Media Awards and won twice in the Outstanding Comedy Series category. Although Ugly Betty’s openly gay creator, Silvio Horta, has said in the past that Justin is based on his own youth, the show has left its viewers waiting for a concrete answer to one of the show’s biggest unanswered questions since it premiered in 2006.
Will tonight’s episode answer the question that is on every Betty fan’s mind? Tune in tonight to find out! We look forward to seeing more of Justin’s growth as Ugly Betty finishes up its final season on ABC.

ABC Announces Ugly Betty’s Fourth Season Will Be Its Last
January 29, 2010
It was recently announced that ABC’s groundbreaking hit series, Ugly Betty, has been cancelled after four seasons on the air. Throughout its run, openly gay creator and executive producer Silvio Horta ensured that Ugly Betty was often at the forefront of equal and accurate representations of the LGBT community. The show was one of the few series in history that featured a transgender character, Alexis Meade, for nearly two seasons, in addition to Wilhelmina’s gay personal assistant, Marc St. James.
Will Justin come out before Ugly Betty concludes its run?
There has been an overwhelming public outcry from Ugly Betty fans, many of whom are LGBT due to the show’s consistent inclusion of LGBT characters and storylines as well as its queer-friendly sensibilities that many in the LGBT community could relate to. The show often sends a message about self-acceptance, and of loving oneself even if the rest of the world may not. And while Alexis and Marc have made the show one of the gayest on television, Betty’s reputation as the outsider is often the most relatable to queer audiences everywhere.
In a statement by Ugly Betty’s openly gay executive producer, Silvio Horta, said that although they’ve decided to cancel the show, “we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion.”
This is no doubt a relief to those who wonder if Justin’s coming out be included in this conclusion? Although Horta has stated that Justin Suarez, Betty’s fashion-forward, tap dancing nephew, would grow up to be gay, his sexuality has remained largely unaddressed. If Justin was to come out this season, he would be following a growing trend of adolescent LGBT characters in television. We look forward to following his story, and those of the other characters, as the series concludes its run.
