Ugly Betty

Lindsay Lohan’s Ugly Betty Debut

May 23, 2008

If you were wildly anticipating Lindsay Lohan’s guest role on Thursday’s Betty, then you might have been left in an ugly mood. The season finale delivered only a single flashback scene with the actress. She played a mean girl who used Betty Suarez as a human shield during a schoolyard game of dodge ball. (Watch a clip.) Very Hairspray. Anyway, she’ll be back in the fall. Anticipate wildly all summer, if you want.

Betty fans had nothing to complain about, though. It was a fun, campy episode — Naomi Campbell had a cameo playing softball, you know? — but light on drama. Wilhelmina landed at the top of the Mode masthead, ousting Daniel, who learned he had fathered a son with a (recently deceased) French hand model in Paris, and he and the boy bonded. Meanwhile, Betty has to make up her mind between two opposing offers: marriage, proposed by Henry, or a trip to Rome, courtesy of Gio. Only an idiot would pick Henry — but Betty’s actual decision, like Lindsay’s real performance, will have to wait for the third season. –Tom Gliatto

Tell us: What should Betty do?

One question….Why those two?

Thought Lindsay did a good job but she didn’t have much of a role. Sure hope Betty chooses Geo!

Betty should go to Paris and find her self she is too young to be tired down, plus she had her whole career ahead of her. Love BETTY she is the best I can hardly wait til next season.

The episode itself was really good, the ending, kinda lame, but on the upside, it put Betty in a crossroads in her life and career. Who knows what is going to happen to her position at MODE now that Daniel has been outsted by his “sister”, so all in all, I don’t think she will pick Henry. Lets remember that they are moving to New York to film. So that should be a HUGE clue as to what Betty does.
