Ugly Betty Is Looking For A New Hottie

Newsflash: Now that office cutie Henry Grubstick (played by Christopher Gorham) has found greener pastures (apparently Christopher is going to star in CBS's new show, Harper's Island), the producers are looking for a new hottie to take the place of geeky-in-a-hot-way Henry.

This news probably won't come as much of a surprise to most Ugly Betty fans, since the season finale ended with a cliffhanger, with Betty having to choose between Henry (who proposed to her and urged her to move to Tucson with him) and current love interest Gio (who'd asked Betty to go on a three-month trip to Rome with him). When asked whether Christopher Gorham will return, he told fans that when the production of the hit show changed locations to New York (it was previously in Los Angeles), he wasn't asked to come along.

Christopher was partly glad that he wasn't asked to move to New York, since his wife is pregnant with his second child (the baby will be due January next year).

The rest of the cast members, however, were devastated about Christopher leaving the show, and I can pretty much surmise that Henry-Betty supporters are less than happy.

I wonder what'll become of Gio, though - that is to say if the new hottie will be Betty's latest love interest.

Edited: I really hope Gio is her new love interest. Freddy Rodriguez is an amazing latino actor and would do good to the show.
There are rumors of a certain "Val Emmich" as potential love interest. but I see not idea why to make so much effort to make people slowly forget their attachment to Henry and move into new waters with Gio and then leave us hanging.
Thanks for the information.
