So Long, Betty: ABC Cancels Ugly Betty

Darn it! Ugly Betty‘s fab fourth season will be i’s last, per a joint announcement from ABC prez Steve McPherson and Ugly Betty‘s excec producer Silvio Horta.

“We’ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty’s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell.”

I suppose the silver lining is that the writers will have enough time to write a series finale, tying up all the storylines. Shall we start speculating now about who will end up with whom and where? I can see Betty breaking off on her own to start a new magazine or taking control of a floundering mag and turning it around. Willie runs off with Connor (finally) and Marc takes over her job at Mode. Amanda gets a fashion editor position (finally). Do Hilda and Bobby end up together? Which of Betty’s many admirers does she end up with, or does she end up with any of them? What’s in Daniel’s future?
