- Last week, it was announced that Rebecca Romijn’s character on Ugly Betty had been demoted to a recurring player and not a full time one. Alexis Meade came into the series midway through season one as the sister of Daniel Meade, former brother of the same. You have to love twists like that. While everyone was dealing with the change of Alex’s sex, Alexis wormed her way into Meade Publications and into our hearts.
  
  Changes have been made with the staff this season though. Partly because of the writer’s strike, and partly because of internal staff changes unrelated to the strike. These changes have changed the look of the show behind the scenes, and Romijn is only all too glad to take a step back. She might even leave the series entirely at some point.
  
  Ugly Betty returned with the rest of the network’s line-up last week, airing before Grey’s Anatomy and Lost. It is definitely one of my favorite shows on air, and I think it is hip and funny. The cast is full of familiar faces and new ones that all work together to make the series one of the best on television. America Ferrera as Betty Suarez shines each and every week, and the show has kept me tuning in. Alexis and Rebecca Romijn add something to the series, and I think there would be an empty hole left if she was to leave the show entirely. Her interactions with Daniel and their mother add something to the series. Seeing the character made of less importance is sad to see.
  
  Just this week, Ugly Betty won the honor of outstanding comedy series at the 2008 Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation Media Awards, while network mate Brothers & Sisters won for outstanding drama series. This is the second year these shows have won these awards. Both shows are deserving of the praise.
