The UK is waaaaaaaay behind the US. We're only up to episode 10 here.
I love Marc. I want to marry him. Although there is a very obvious flaw in my plan... lol

It's a cute show. I really hate it though when Wilhelmina is scheming. She'll never give up. And her character just doesn't seem .. right for the show. I never get telenovela feelings from the show unless she's on screen. It's weird.

Oh and Christina is a great character.

I think Wilhelmina is great. I love the relationship between her and Marc. They're almost like a real life Smithers & Mr Burns.

Oh and Christina is a great character.

Hell yeah! It's great to see a Scot on such a high profile American show. :coctail:

I've seen little bits of the Russian version - Ne Rodis' Krasivoy (Don't Be Born Beautiful). It has Nelly Uvarova in it.

Edited - is Ugly Betty on youtube too ? Perhaps I should compare the 2 versions and give you a better response ? :D

Name a country and I guarantee they've got their own version of 'Ugly Betty'. It's everywhere.

And when did you change your name back to Spyretto? I was just getting used to calling you 'Dr Dark'.

So who's seen the original series? Are the storylines pretty much the same as the American version or is it totally different?

I've only ever seen 2 episodes of 'The L Word' and they sucked. I didn't know Eric Mabius was in that show.
Wasn't he in one of the 'Resident Evil' movies? :confused:

That's what I thought.
I don't get why everyone thinks he's so hott though. He's nothing special IMO.
