Question: Bottom-line the Ugly Betty situation for us. How dire is it? -- Gordon

Ausiello: Not nearly AS dire as I first thought. Shortly after my story posted, several very trustworthy ABC insiders came forward to assure me that the perception is much worse than the reality in this case. The reality, they say, is it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY that Betty will be forced to close out its third season in June, as the network's ominously worded press release seemed to suggest. And regarding next season, two of the three sources I queried seemed 'very confident' that Betty would be back next season. The third one ignored that part of my question and proceeded to pump me for scoop on House.

Bottom line: Phew.
