Will 'Ugly Betty' Turn into a Swan?

Canvas background demo

Because of its new Friday timeslot, there is some buzz that the fourth season of "Ugly Betty" may be the final season. So, ET checked in with series' star America Ferrera to find out if that should be the case, does she want to see Betty turn into a swan?

"I have always [seen the character] as transformative," she tells ET. "A caterpillar who has to grow into her own skin -- into the version of herself that she is most comfortable with. I never see Betty turning into a supermodel, or one of a million cookie-cutter girls. I do see her as blossoming into a more mature version of herself."

That said, sometime this season, Betty finally gets her braces off, and she has already started dressing more chicly for her new job as a non-poncho-wearing assistant editor.

"I think the new look was a natural progression for Betty," America says. "It was less a choice to become something else than it was to let the growth take its course. Her bangs grew out. She accepts it. She says, 'They are changing. I will see where it goes.'"

Fans of "Ugly Betty" should find this fourth season a bit more reminiscent of the first, because Betty's promotion has once more put her in a situation where she is out of her comfort zone.

"She gets this promotion, which turned a lot of people against her," America explains. "She is back at the bottom. It is a re-setting to how it was in the beginning, but now she is a little more mature, confident and can handle it more."

"Ugly Betty" airs Fridays at 9 p.m. on ABC.
