During the strike, Betty exec producer Silvio Horta and star Ferrera spent hours watching their own show and came to the same realization. \'\'In the second season we lost a lot of what we loved about Betty,\'\' says Ferrera. As Horta explains it, \'\'We were getting away from Betty\'s point of view. The show had become incredibly funny, but it started to lose some of its heart.\'\' As soon as the team returned to work (with new executive producer Joel Fields, who replaced Marco Pennette), Horta wrote the word \'\'Heart\'\' on a dry-erase board for all the writers to see. \'\'Whenever we\'re lost or confused with a story line, we look at that,\'\' he says. Several pre-strike stories were altered or scrapped (including a musical episode) for new plots that will include Betty\'s love triangle with Henry and Gio (Freddy Rodriguez), a Meade publications softball game (perhaps featuring the athletic stylings of Naomi Campbell), and, of course, the return of Wilhelmina to Mode. Ferrera couldn\'t be happier about the show\'s refocusing. \'\'If anything good came out of the strike, it\'s that we were able to step back and breathe,\'\' she says. \'\'We\'re coming back with our heads on straight.\'\' —Jessica Shaw

요약.
지금까지의 어글리 베티 2시즌 진행에 많이 실망했다는 것에
시청자나 제작진이나 주연배우 아가씨나 모두 동감했다는 것.
1시즌에서 주력했던 것들이 2시즌에선 거의 살아나지 못했다고...
그래서 파업 전에 생각했던 2시즌 후반부 스토리들이 많이 바뀌고 삭제되었는데
지금까지 관련 이야기가 많이 나왔던 어글리 베티 뮤지컬 에피소드는 이번 시즌에선 못볼듯.

대신 2시즌 뒷부분에 새롭게 집중해서 들어갈 스토리들

1. 베티, 헨리, 지오의 삼각관계 --> 아마 2시즌에서 어느 한쪽으로 끝장을 보겠다는 이야기인듯. 오호라.
2. 미드사의 소프트볼 게임 (나오미 캠벨??? 정말)
3. 윌레미나의 모드사 귀환 (역시...)

등등...
