Only recently watched Ugly Betty for the first time (I know, only… 17 years late…lol) and I am beyond impressed with Michael Urie (who plays Marc St James).
That guy is the KING of face journeys.

Ugly Betty Reunion Show Idea (that will never come to light outside of fanfiction bc I do not work in Hollywood)
Betty’s offered a job back at MODE in an attempt to “modernize” the failing company. She’s reluctant to take the job due to her rocky past with Daniel. But when she and Hilda discover their father can no longer live on his own, she packs up her life and moves back to New York to take care of him—and to try to save MODE.
Betty
The final episode has Betty, and ultimately Daniel, move to London. She and Daniel grow closer and stupidly she gives into his charm. They begin dating. But when “marriage” begins being hinted at, Daniel unsurprisingly flees, leaving behind a broken hearted Betty. After months of trying to reach him, to no avail, she dusts herself off and moves on with her life. Present day has her back at MODE. She thinks it’ll be Hell working so closely with Daniel again, but being back is nostalgic.
Daniel
Daniel, to his mother’s despair, goes back to his old ways when he leaves Betty. Claire Meade knows her son is depressed and desperately wants him to make things right with Betty. In truth, he wishes he had never left her all those years ago, but fears it’s too late for him to mend things. Once Betty returns and her “secrets” are revealed, he wants to make things right.
Claire
Claire quite honestly appears to only want to play matchmaker when she calls on Betty to help modernize MODE. She even locks Betty in a room with her son to “talk things over” her first day. She truly just wants to make things right.
Wilhelmina
Wilhelmina Slater is a legend in the fashion industry. People practically lick the floors she walks on. At first she’s insulted that Betty thinks she can waltz back into her life and take over, but she soon realizes the girl is a great ally. Plus, she’s helping MODE. She decides not to reveal the skeletons in Betty’s closet. For right now, at least.
Ignacio
His failing health brings Betty back to New York. At first, he’s reluctant. He doesn’t need his daughter stopping her life to take care of him. And he’s against her working at MODE again due to the fact that she’ll be in close proximity of him, Daniel, the guy who broke her heart.
Hilda & Justin
Hilda and Justin are always around to lend a helping hand or share a few wise words, even if they do have lives of their own. Betty (with Marc’s approval) gets Justin a job as an assistant at MODE.
Amanda & Marc
Amanda and Marc are still up to no good at MODE. If they’re not (still) insulting Betty’s choice of fashion, they’re taking part in Wilhelmina’s schemes. Sometimes (with a great emphasis on sometimes) they’re helpful. Marc and Betty work closely together to save MODE.
Iggy
Betty’s “greatest secret” as Wilhelmina might say. But Betty has never tried to “hide” him from anyone. She discovered her pregnancy around the time Daniel left and, after months of trying to get in contact with Daniel, Betty decides to have the baby on her own. Iggy is her best friend, even if he is a little rebellious at times. He’s a shock to everyone at MODE, except for Claire, who has known all along (much to Daniel’s shock) but promised Betty she wouldn’t say anything. Iggy catches on pretty quick, but he’s not so eager to bond with anyone new, much less his supposed estranged father.

Ugly Betty Reawatch update: currently on ep 8×4 The Bahamas Triangle. Love Daniel and Marc's bonding time so much. Would kill to see how those two would try to organize a wedding while Betty is doing some important business stuff. Everyone would totally assume that they're a couple and at some point they just would go with it.

It was nice seeing Betty be mean to Marc whenever she realized he’d always be a bitch towards her. It was well overdue. Glad they ended up fine in the end though
