There is plenty of romance on Ugly Betty. But if Eric Mabius (who plays Betty's boss, Daniel Meade) has his way his character won't ever fall in love with Betty Suarez, who is played by American Ferrera.
If you read message boards and fan websites, many viewers of the ABC comedy are rooting for what may seem an unlikely couple: Betty and her ladies man boss, Daniel Meade.
There are even montages of their scenes together set to romantic music on YouTube.
Despite the hype, Eric Mabius, who plays Meade, says the hookup won't happen if he has anything to say about it. "That would be the equivalent of us jumping the shark," the 37-year-old says.
Betty and her boss have gotten romantic in other international versions of the show and Mabius says it's been the swan song for those productions.
"In all the other series ... they get married and the show ends! I'm not too excited about that idea!"
We're not so worried about Betty's love live. We think it's time she had a makeover. We can't wait much longer for Betty to turn into America Ferrera and look fabulous.
